Biotoxins for Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2014
In recent times, a number of studies have provided evidence that biotoxins present great potential as antitumor agents, such as snake venom, bee venom, some bacteria toxins and plant toxins, and thus could be used as chemotherapeutic agents against tumors. The biodiversity of venoms and toxins make them a unique source from which novel anticancer agent

The Continuing Saga of the Marine Polyether Biotoxins [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2008
AbstractThe unprecedented structure of the marine natural product brevetoxin B was elucidated by the research group of Nakanishi and Clardy in 1981. The ladderlike molecular architecture of this fused polyether molecule, its potent toxicity, and fascinating voltage‐sensitive sodium channel based mechanism of action immediately captured the imagination ...

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.

Biotoxins in muscle regeneration research

Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility, 2019
Skeletal muscles are characterized by their unique regenerative capacity following injury due to the presence of muscle precursor cells, satellite cells. This characteristic allows researchers to study muscle regeneration using experimental injury models. These injury models should be stable and reproducible.

Foodborne Marine Biotoxins

2003
Abstract : Marine biotoxins, which are globally distributed, are responsible for numberous human intoxication syndromes due to the ingestion of cooked or uncooked seafood. Over 2500 cases of foodborne diseases caused by fish and shellfish toxicity were reported to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) between 1993 and 1997 in the United ...
