Common NameCicutoxin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionCicutoxin is an exogenous compound with the chemical formula C17H22O2 and an average molecular weight of 258.36 g/mol. It exists as a solid at room temperature. Cicutoxin belongs to the fatty alcohols, a subclass of fatty acyls within the organic compounds. The substance is found in or released from 13 recorded sources across multiple sectors. These include Electrical & Electronic Equipment, specifically cell phones, capacitors, wires and cables, batteries, and printed circuit boards, as well as one additional source in that sector. It is also present in synthetic textiles, carpets and rugs within the textiles, leather & furnishings sector; food packaging within the food, food processing & cookware sector; medical devices within the healthcare, pharmaceuticals & veterinary products sector; and lubricants within both the energy, oil & gas and industrial manufacturing & chemical processing sectors, along with one more sector. Recorded exposure routes for the compound include inhalation, oral, and touch. Cicutoxin acts as a cholinergic poison that disrupts the central nervous system by serving as a non-competitive antagonist at the GABA receptor. It has 19 recorded protein targets, including Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 (GABRA1), Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABRA2), Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-3 (GABRA3), Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-4 (GABRA4), and 15 other proteins.
