General description

Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a tetramic acid is synthesized by various Aspergillus and Penicillium species.[1]

Application

Cyclopiazonic acid from Penicillium cyclopium has been used:
  • as a standard in aflatoxin detection and quantification by thin layer chromatography (TLC)[2]
  • as a component in Ca2+-free DMEM/10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)[3]
  • 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 trafficking[3]
  • as 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)[4] to inhibit SERCA[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump.
