belongs to the class of organic compounds known as azaspirodecane derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a spirodecane moiety with at least one nitrogen atom.
Azaspiracid-4 dose-dependent inhibits the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ levels induced by thapsigargin (Tg) (3). Azaspiracid-2 and Azaspiracid-3 clearly increase cytosolic cAMP levels of human lymphocytes (4).
Abdominal heaviness, vomiting, and profuse watery diarrhea; also nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps (2, 5).
