Batrachotoxin poison

Buy Batrachotoxin Online is an important research tool in pharmacology because of its action of holding voltage-gated sodium channels open, as well as its specific effects at other ligand-binding sites. It was commonly used in ion channel and ligand research.

Batrachotoxin has no current clinical uses for two primary reasons. First, batrachotoxin is highly toxic and dangerous to use for medical purposes. Synthetic forms with altered properties would have to be developed for clinical trials. Second, there are no commercially available sources of batrachotoxins or commercially viable synthetic pathways. Most available stocks of batrachotoxin were collected from wild-caught Phyllobates frogs by John Daly many years ago. Work in relevant regions of Colombia is currently difficult or impossible, so these stocks cannot be replenished. No commercially viable sources of batrachotoxin are known from New Guinea, but additional research on the ultimate source of batrachotoxins may elucidate new sources.
