Okadaic acid is a potent polyether marine toxin that primarily accumulates in the digestive glands of marine mollusks. It is a highly effective and selective inhibitor of protein phosphatases (PPs). By inhibiting these phosphatases, okadaic acid increases the phosphorylation levels of various proteins, acts as a tumor promoter, and induces tau protein phosphorylation. It can be used to establish models of Alzheimer’s disease and skin cancer.

| Targets&IC50 | PP7:>1000 nM, PP5:3.5 nM, PP2A:0.1-0.3 nM, PP3:4 nM, PP3:3.7-4 nM, PP1:10-15 nM, PP4:0.1 nM, PP2:0.5 nM, PP1:15-50 nM, PP2B:~4000 nM |
| In vitro | Okadaic acid, at concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 nM and after treatment periods of 24 or 48 hours, is capable of inhibiting the proliferation of AGS, MNK-45, and Caco 2 cells[3]. |
| In vivo | Okadaic Acid (100 μg; icv; single dose) can be used in male Wistar rats (250-300 g) to establish an Alzheimer's disease model[6]. |
