Description

Tricyclic alkaloid hepatotoxin from a cyanobacterium.

Cylindrospermopsin (abbreviated to CYN, or CYL) is a cyanotoxin produced by a variety of freshwater cyanobacteria. CYL is a polycyclic uracil derivative containing guanidino and sulfate groups. It is also zwitterionic, making it highly water soluble. CYL is toxic to liver and kidney tissue and is thought to inhibit protein synthesis and to covalently modify DNA and/or RNA.

It is not known whether cylindrospermopsin is a carcinogen, but it appears to have no tumour initiating activity in mice. (source: T3DB )
