 Use of Brevetoxin-3


Brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3) is a potent allosteric voltage-gated Na+ channel activator and has multiple active centers (A-ring lactone, C-42 of R side chain)[1]. Brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3) has a high affinity to site 5 of the voltage-sensitive Na+ channels, inhibits the inactivation of Na+ channels and prolongs the mean open time of these channels. Brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3) repeated exposures can lead to prolonged airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and lung inflammation[2].

In Vitro Brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3)(30-500 nM) produces a shift in activation to more negative membrane potentials whereby single-channel activity is observed under steady-state conditions (maintained depolarization at -50 mV)[1].
In Vivo Brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3)(intratracheal instillation; 2.8 μg/kg; gestational days 15-18) radioactivity is detected in placentas and fetuses within 0.5 hours. Concentrations of brevetoxin equivalents in fetuses are approximately 0.3 ng/g throughout the 48-h post-dosing, resulting in a calculated dose to fetuses of 19 ng/gh. Following brevetoxin infusion, concentration of brevetoxin equivalents in fetuses is 0.1 ng/g, lower than that present in most maternal tissues[3]. . Animal Model: Pregnant CD-1 mice[3] Dosage: 2.8 μg/kg Administration: Intratracheal instillation; 2.8 μg/kg; gestational days 15–18 Result: Demonstrated placental transport of brevetoxin or its metabolites following maternal acute exposure.
