Introduction of 78111-17-8 :

Okadaic acid, a marine toxin, is an inhibitor of protein phosphatases (PP). Okadaic acid has a significantly higher affinity for PP2A (IC50=0.1-0.3 nM), and inhibits PP1 (IC50=15-50 nM), PP3 (IC50=3.7-4 nM), PP4 (IC50=0.1 nM), PP5 (IC50=3.5 nM), but does not inhibit PP2C. Okadaic acid increases of phosphorylation of a number of proteins by inhibiting PP, and acts a tumor promoter. Okadaic acid induces tau phosphorylation[1][2]. In Vitro: Okadaic acid (0-100 nM; 24 h or 48 h) inhibits the proliferation of AGS, MNK-45, Caco 2 cells[3].
Okadaic acid (10 nM; 8 hours) increases Drp1 phosphorylation and mitochondrial fission in rat cortical neurons[4]. In Vivo: Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

Okadaic acid can be used to induce Alzheimer's disease models[6].

Induction of Alzheimer's disease model[6]
Background
Okadaic acid is a Ser/Thr phosphatase enzyme inhibitor that causes Tau hyperphosphorylation and induces the intracellular aggregation of neurofibrillary tangles.
