Description & Applications
Product Description
The parotoid secretion of Rhinella marina (Cane Toad) is a potent source of bufadienolides (e.g., marinobufagenin, telocinobufagin), which are steroid-like inhibitors of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump. These compounds are structurally similar to digitalis glycosides and are extensively studied for their cardiotonic and cytotoxic effects.
Research Applications
- Cardiology: Investigating the regulation of cardiac contractility and sodium pump isoforms.
- Oncology: Screening bufadienolides for anti-proliferative activity in cancer cell lines.
- Ethology: Studying chemical defense mechanisms in invasive species.
Quality Control
Processed to remove cellular debris while preserving the full spectrum of lipophilic and hydrophilic toxins.
