Neosaxitoxin is a powerful neurotoxin belonging to the saxitoxin family, produced by certain species of marine dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria. It is one of the primary toxins responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), a serious condition that can occur after consuming contaminated shellfish. Neosaxitoxin works by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to paralysis and, in severe cases, respiratory failure. It is extensively studied in marine toxicology and environmental monitoring to ensure seafood safety and understand the dynamics of harmful algal blooms.
