Philanthotoxin 433 is a polyamine-containing toxin, which blocks NMDA-gated ion channels; originally isolated from the venom of the wasp Philanthus triangulum.

Antagonism of rat excitatory amino acid receptors by a synthetic analog [philanthotoxin-343 (PhTX-343)] of a polyamine amide, wasp toxin (philanthotoxin-433) and a structurally related spider toxin, argiotoxin-636 (ArgTX-636), was examined in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain RNA or RNA
Neurotransmitter release is stabilized by homeostatic plasticity. Presynaptic homeostatic potentiation (PHP) operates on timescales ranging from minute- to life-long adaptations and likely involves reorganization of presynaptic active zones (AZs). At Drosophila melanogaster neuromuscular junctions, earlier work ascribed AZ enlargement by

The wasp venom philanthotoxin-4.3.3 (PhTX-4.3.3) is an antagonist of glutamate transmission in the insect as well as in the mammalian brain. It was recently shown that PhTX-4.3.3 inhibits the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) transmission in rat hippocampus. In this study we show

1. The blocking action of delta-philanthotoxin (PhTX-4.3.3), a wasp toxin composed of a polyamine chain, an aromatic amino acid (tyrosyl) nucleus and an aliphatic (butanoic) acid was studied, together with 33 structural analogues, at the glutamatergic neuromuscular synapse in larvae

A synthetic analog of philanthotoxin-433, philanthotoxin-343 (PhTX-343), was tested in hippocampal pyramidal neurons in vitro. PhTX-343 (2 microM) did not significantly change synaptic transmission mediated by AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid)/kainate receptors in the CA1 region of hippocampus. However, PhTX-343 significantly
