Selective blocker of voltage-dependent Na+ channels which exhibits channel binding kinetics similar to those of tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin, but possesses a >1,000 fold selectivity for muscle versus neuronal Na+ channels; originally isolated from the venom of the marine snail Conus geographus L.

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

Voltage-gated Na+ channels, classically associated with impulse conduction in excitable tissues, are also found in a variety of epithelial cell types where their possible functions are not known so well. We have previously reported expression of a voltage-gated Na+ channel
