DOMOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesOff-White SolidUsageLabelled Domoic Acid. Domoic Acid is an excitatory amino acid isolated from the red alga Chondria armata Okamura, Rhodomelaceae. Domoic acid shown to be responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning ass ociated with ingestion of certain cultured blue mussels. Domoic Acid is a structural analog of Kainic acid (K135000).DefinitionChEBI: A L-proline derivative that is L-proline substituted by a carboxymethyl group at position 3 and a 6-carboxyhepta-2,4-dien-2-yl group at position 4. It is an analog of kainic acid and is the neurotoxin associated with the a nesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).Biological ActivityMore potent and possibly more selective than kainate at kainate receptors, as demonstrated in electrophysiological studies.
