| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tetrodotoxin, a puffer fish toxin, inhibits voltage-gated sodium channel (VSGC), a key protein of neurotransmission, however, dose not show subtype selectivity. Purpose of this research is to find a new subtype selective inhibitor of VGSCs, by synthesizing a dozen analogues of TTX. However, slight modification of TTX decreases the inhibitory activity of VGSC. On the other hand, we found that crambesin B carboxylic acid, a marine natural product, exhibits potent inhibition comparable to TTX for the first time.
