Biological Activity

Paxilline is an indole alkaloid mycotoxin that acts as a potent inhibitor of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (SERCA) with IC50 values ranging from 5 μM to 50 μM. Direct inhibition of BK channels reduces membrane K+ efflux, modulating intracellular calcium dynamics and cellular excitability. Disruption of SERCA-mediated calcium transport alters lumenal Ca2+ homeostasis, producing downstream neuroprotective and anticonvulsant physiological phenotypes. [1]
