1. The actions of a chromatographically identified extract of the marine dinoflagellate Ostreopsis lenticularis, named ostreotoxin-3 (OTX-3), were studied on frog isolated neuromuscular preparations. 2. OTX-3 (1-10 microg ml(-1)) applied to cutaneous pectoris nerve-muscle preparations depolarized skeletal muscle fibres and
