Identification of a rapid detoxification mechanism for brevetoxin in rats. [PDF]
Toxicological Sciences, 2005 We examined detoxification of brevetoxin in rats through metabolic activities and key elimination routes by analyzing samples from individual rats exposed to two brevetoxin congeners (PbTx-2 and PbTx-3). Brevetoxins were detected by radioimmunoassay in methanolic extracts of blood within 1 h post intraperitoneal (ip) administration.

Synergistic Effect of Brevetoxin BTX-3 and Ciguatoxin CTX3C in Human Voltage-Gated Na<sub>v</sub>1.6 Sodium Channels. [PDF]
Chem Res Toxicol, 2023 Emerging marine biotoxins such as ciguatoxins and brevetoxins have been widely and independently studied as food pollutants. Their maximum levels in food components were set without considering their possible synergistic effects as consequence of their ...

Guidance Level for Brevetoxins in French Shellfish [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2021 Brevetoxins (BTXs) are marine biotoxins responsible for neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) after ingestion of contaminated shellfish. NSP is characterized by neurological, gastrointestinal and/or cardiovascular symptoms. The main known producer of BTXs is the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, but other microalgae are also suspected to synthesize BTX ...

Total Synthesis of Brevetoxin-B [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2003 Brevetoxin-B (BTX-B), produced by the red tide organism, Gymnodium breve Davis, is the first member of marine polycyclic ethers to be structurally elucidated and one of the most potent neurotoxins. The structural feature is a trans-fused polycyclic ether ring system with 23 stereocenters.

Exposure to the Florida red tide dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, and its associated brevetoxins induces ecophysiological and proteomic alterations in Porites astreoides. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 As reef-building corals are increasingly being exposed to persistent threats that operate on both regional and global scales, there is a pressing need to better understand the complex processes that diminish coral populations. This study investigated the

Toxicon: X, 2023 Brevetoxins (BTX) are a group of marine neurotoxins produced by the harmful alga Karenia brevis. Numerous studies have shown that BTX are rapidly accumulated and metabolized in shellfish and mammals. However, there are only limited data on BTX metabolism
