Saxitoxin (STX) (2) and its analogues known as causative agents of paralytic shellfish poisoning, so called PSP, are potent neurotoxins produced by harmful dinoflagellates. This fatal intoxication is attributed to STXs' potent affinity against the voltage gated sodium channels (NaChs), thus the toxins strongly block the influx of sodium ion and inhibit the depolarization process of neuronal cells. We have recently accomplished total synthesis of (-) and (+)-doSTX (ent-2 and 2) and (+)-STX (1) by the use of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and unique IBX oxidation reaction. In this paper, we described the NaCh inhibitory activity of novel synthetic STX derivatives 19-22. We also succeeded in developing the new synthetic methodology for constructing the cyclic guanidine skeleton under the extremely mild conditions, which successfully allow us to the total synthesis of (+)-dcSTX (3) and (+)-GTX3 (7) from "protected" saxitoxinol 34.
