Bioactivity Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a potent neurotoxin and cardiotoxin found in the skin of the Colombian poison dart frog (Phyllobates aurotaenia). Batrachotoxin (BTX) is a sodium channel activator that interacts with voltage-gated sodium channels on the cell membrane, blocking the normal closure of sodium channels, causing a continuous influx of sodium ions into the cell, thereby causing a sustained depolarization of the cell[1].
