Definition

ChEBI: Decarbamoylsaxitoxin is a pyrrolopurine that is 2,6-diiminodecahydropyrrolo[1,2-c]purine carrying an additional hydroxymethyl substituent at position 4 as well as two hydroxy substituents at position 10. A toxin that is isolated from marine dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria and is known to cause paralytic shellfish poisoning. It has a role as a marine metabolite, a neurotoxin, a toxin, a bacterial metabolite and a xenobiotic. It is a pyrrolopurine, a member of guanidines, a ketone hydrate, a primary alcohol, an alkaloid and a paralytic shellfish toxin.
