Nodularia spumigena is a cyanobacterium often found in drinking water in developing countries and capable of accumulating in fish and seafood. It produces nodularin, a genotoxic and hepatotoxic monocyclic pentapeptide. Nodularin inhibits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) (IC50=1.8nM), protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) (IC50=0.026nM), and to a lesser extent protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B) (IC50=8.7µm). Nodularin is similar to microcystin-LR (Prod. No. ALX-350-012) but with increased water solubility. Nodularin is capable of inducing oxidative DNA damage by oxidation of purines as well as apoptosis in HepG2 cells.
