Discontinued Product
Batrachotoxin (Cat. No. 2914) has been withdrawn from sale for commercial reasons.
Description: Voltage-gated Na+ channel activator
Alternative Names: BTX
Chemical Name: (1S)-1-[(5aR,7aR,9R,11aS,11bS,12R,13aR)-1,2,3,4,7a,8,9,10,11,11a,12,13-Dodecahydro-9,12-dihydroxy-2-11a-dimethyl-7H-9,11b-epoxy-13a,5a-propenophenanthro[2,1-f][1,4]oxazepin-14-yl]ethyl 2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate
Biological Activity for Batrachotoxin
Potent neurotoxin that activates voltage-gated sodium channels. Shifts voltage-dependent activation to more negative potentials, inactivation is disabled and pore conductance and selectivity are altered (displays increased permeability for NH4+, K+ and Cs+ ions).

Epilepsy Poster
Epilepsy is a brain disease that affects 60 million people globally. More than 20 anti-seizure drugs are currently available, but these do not address the underlying causes of the condition. This poster summarizes current knowledge about the development of the condition and highlights some approaches that have disease-modifying effects in proof-of-concept studies.
