Synthetic form of the macrocyclic bis-1-oxaquinolizidine isolated from the Okanowan marine sponge.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Xestospongin C is a selective, reversible and membrane-permeable inhibitor of IP3 receptor. Reversibly blocks bradykinin- and carbamylcholine- Ca2+ efflux from the endoplasmic reticulum stores.

Xestospongins (Xe's) A, C, D, araguspongine B, and demethylxestospongin B, a group of macrocyclic bis-1-oxaquinolizidines isolated from the Australian sponge, Xestospongia species, are shown to be potent blockers of IP3-mediated Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum vesicles of rabbit cerebellum.

We evaluated the role of the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)) receptor-mediated Ca(2+) release on the positive inotropic effects of alpha-adrenergic stimulation using a novel, potent, selective membrane-permeable blocker of IP(3) receptor, xestospongin C. Guinea-pig papillary muscle permeabilized with saponin exhibited spontaneous

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystem vasculitis that predominantly targets the coronary arteries in children. Phenotypic similarities between KD and recurrent fever syndromes point to the potential role of inflammasome activation in KD. Mutations in NLRP3 are associated with recurrent
Excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impaired Ca2+ homeostasis play central roles in the development of multiple cardiac pathologies, including cell death during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In several organs, treatment with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) was shown to have

In the peripheral nerve, mechanosensitive axons are insulated by myelin, a multilamellar membrane formed by Schwann cells. Here, we offer first evidence that a myelin degradation product induces mechanical hypersensitivity and global transcriptomics changes in a sex-specific manner. Focusing on
