LC-MS/MS Detection of Karlotoxins Reveals New Variants in Strains of the Marine Dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum from the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean) [PDF]
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the detection and quantitation of karlotoxins in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. This novel method was based upon the analysis of purified karlotoxins (KcTx-

First Identification of Amphidinols from Mexican Strains and New Analogs. [PDF]
The genus Amphidinium has been the subject of recent attention due to the production of polyketide metabolites. Some of these compounds have shown significant bioactivities and could be related to species interactions in the natural benthic microenvironment. Among these compounds, amphidinols (AMs) are suspected to be related to fish kills and probably

Synthesis of the bis-tetrahydropyran core of amphidinol 3. [PDF]
A convergent synthesis of the C31-C52 bis-tetrahydropyran core of the natural product amphidinol 3 is reported. A common intermediate was synthesized from D-tartaric acid utilizing an asymmetric glycolate alkylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence to construct the THP rings.

LC-MS/MS Method Development for the Discovery and Identification of Amphidinols Produced by Amphidinium. [PDF]
Amphidinols are polyketides produced by dinoflagellates suspected of causing fish kills. Here, we demonstrate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the identification and quantification of amphidinols (AM). Novel AM were detected by neutral loss (NL) scan and then quantified together with known AM by selection reaction ...

Two New Cytotoxic Candidaspongiolides from an Indonesian Sponge
Marine sponges have been recognized as potentially rich sources of various bioactive molecules. In our continuing search for new secondary metabolites from Indonesian marine invertebrates, we collected a sponge, whose extract showed cytotoxicity against cultured cells at 0.1 μg/mL.

Roles of integral protein in membrane permeabilization by amphidinols
Amphidinols (AMs) are a group of dinoflagellate metabolites with potent antifungal activity. As is the case with polyene macrolide antibiotics, the mode of action of AMs is accounted for by direct interaction with lipid bilayers, which leads to formation of pores or lesions in biomembranes.

Channel Formation and Membrane Deformation via Sterol-Aided Polymorphism of Amphidinol 3. [PDF]
AbstractAmphidinol 3 (AM3) is an anti-fungal polyene extracted from a marine dinoflagellate. Here, we examined the ion channel activity and membrane-embedded structure of AM3 using a lipid bilayer method and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AM3 exhibited large-conductance (~1 nS) and non-selective single-channel activity only when sterols were present in
