18172-33-3 Usage
Description
Cyclopiazonic acid is a mycotoxin that has been found in Penicillium and Aspergillus and an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA; IC50 = 0.6 μM). In vivo, cyclopiazonic acid (11-14 mg/kg) induces ptosis, hypothermia, tremor, and cachexia, as well as induces lethality (LD50 = 13 mg/kg), in rats. It induces tachycardia and sedation in rabbits when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.
Chemical Properties
off-white powder or crystals
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 18172-33-3 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Cyclopiazonic acid is a tremorigenic indole produced by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. Cyclopiazonic acid is a highly specific inhibitor of calcium ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, altering calcium homeostasis and ATP-dependent calcium transport and resulting in the release of intracellular stored Ca2+ without increasing IP3.
2. The use of Cyclopiazonic acid on Langendorff-perfused murine hearts displayed anti-arrhythmic effects. Also, administration of cyclopiazonic acid on rat soleus muscle showed a decrease in hormone sensitive lipase activity and triacylglycerol hydrolysis. It is also used as an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase.
3. Cyclopiazonic acid from?Penicillium cyclopium has been used:as a standard in aflatoxin detection and quantification by thin layer chromatography (TLC)as a component in Ca2+-free DMEM/10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)as a reversible inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) to examine the role of luminal calcium in endoplasmic recticulum (ER)-to-Golgi traffickingas an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase blocker, to treat neurons and also to study the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in releasing and sustaining Ca2+?during Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) to inhibit SERCA
General Description
Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a tetramic acid is synthesized by various Aspergillus and Penicillium species.
Biological Activity
Cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 18172-33-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,8,1,7 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 18172-33:
(7*1)+(6*8)+(5*1)+(4*7)+(3*2)+(2*3)+(1*3)=103
103 % 10 = 3
So 18172-33-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
