Phallacidin is a member of the phallotoxin family of mushroom toxins isolated from Amanita phalloides with biological activity similar to Phalloidin, which binds and stabilizes filamentous F-actin, preventing the dissociation of paired filaments and disturbing the natural equilibrium between filamentous (polymeric) and globular (monomeric) actin in the cell. Actin is used by the cell for mechanical processes such as growth, scaffolding of the cytoskeleton, and locomotion, and disruption of this actin equilibrium destroys cellular functioning. This product has a carboxy group that Phalloidin does not, making it useful for coupling reactions to fluorescent molecules.
A poison by intraperitoneal route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx and SOx.
