    BTX or batrachotoxin is a type of steroidal alkaloid which was first derived from the skin of Dendrobatidae or poison dart frogs. This neurotoxin prevents the muscle and nerve cells from transmitting electrical signals. The toxin permanently blocks electrical signal transmission from the nerves to the muscle by binding and inactivating the sodium channels.
