Venom-based biotoxins as potential analgesics

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2014
Chronic pain is a common debilitating condition with negative social and economic consequences. Management of chronic pain is challenging and the currently available medications do not yet yield satisfactory outcomes for many patients. Venom-derived biotoxins from various venomous species consist of several substances with different structures and ...

Multiplex biotoxin surface plasmon resonance method for marine biotoxins in algal and seawater samples

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2012
A multiplex surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor method for the detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins, okadaic acid (and analogues) and domoic acid was developed. This method was compared to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods.

How the marine biotoxins affect human health

Natural Product Research, 2017
Several marine microalgae produce dangerous toxins very damaging to human health, aquatic ecosystems and coastal resources. These Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in recent decades seem greatly increased regarding frequency, severity and biogeographical level, causing serious health risks as a consequence of the consumption of contaminated seafood.

Eutrophication, marine biotoxins, human health

1992
Eutrophication phenomena in marine coastal waters can today be explained on the basis of natural or anthropogenic causes. Undesirable effects and also sanitary problems in both types of eutrophication are often produced, but they may differ greatly in frequency and significance. Some algal biotoxins can affect both marine animals and man, whilst others

THE MICROBIAL BIOGENESIS OF AQUATIC BIOTOXINS

Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2002
The biogenesis of small molecular nonprotein poisons has long been a mystery in the world of biotoxicology. The phylogenetic distribution, molecular structure, evidence of biogenesis, and possible mechanisms involving some of these poisons, such as saxitoxin, tetrodotoxin, ciguatoxin, palytoxin, maitotoxin, and brevitoxin, are briefly discussed.

Lactic Acid Bacteria and Biotoxins

2018
Biological toxins are toxic chemicals from biological sources and have toxic effects or cause diseases and death. In order to reduce the biotoxins in food, many methods have been tried. The physical methods mainly include physical adsorption, strengthening the cleaning of raw materials, and clarification.

Biotoxins and Venomous Organisms

2020
Poisons are compounds produced in nonspecialized tissues as secondary products of metabolism that accumulate in the host animal or that accumulate in predators following ingestion of prey. In contrast, venoms are produced in specialized tissues or glands, and venomous animals have developed a variety of venom apparatuses (stingers, teeth, etc.) to ...

Functional assays in marine biotoxin detection

Toxicology, 2005
The contamination of seafood by algal toxins regularly affects animals living in several areas of the world, and the number of toxic phycotoxins which are being characterized is steadily increasing. The extreme dynamics characterizing the field of algal toxins has stimulated the development of tools to be implemented in the monitoring of contamination ...
