Acute Effects of Brevetoxin-3 Administered via Oral Gavage to Mice
Marine Drugs, 2023 Brevetoxins (BTXs) constitute a family of lipid-soluble toxic cyclic polyethers mainly produced by Karenia brevis, which is the main vector for a foodborne syndrome known as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) in humans.

Brevenal inhibits pacific ciguatoxin-1B-induced neurosecretion from bovine chromaffin cells.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Ciguatoxins and brevetoxins are neurotoxic cyclic polyether compounds produced by dinoflagellates, which are responsible for ciguatera and neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) respectively. Recently, brevenal, a natural compound was found to specifically

Spectroscopic ellipsometry methods for brevetoxin detection
Talanta, 2022 The spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and attenuated internal reflection spectroscopic ellipsometry (TIRE) are promising methods in label-free biosensing applications. An ellipsometer running under surface plasmon resonance (SPR) conditions has unique advantages over other SPR-based methods in terms of sensitivity and real-time/label-free measurement ...

Marine Neurotoxins’ Effects on Environmental and Human Health: An OMICS Overview
Marine Drugs, 2021 Harmful algal blooms (HAB), and the consequent release of toxic metabolites, can be responsible for seafood poisoning outbreaks. Marine wildlife can accumulate these toxins throughout the food chain, which presents a threat to consumers’ health.

Determination of brevetoxin in recent marine sediments [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2008 Harmful algal blooms (HAB) of Karenia brevis (K. brevis) produce a suite of lipid soluble polyether brevetoxins, known to cause environmental, health and economic ill effects. There is evidence that K. brevis has increased in abundance over the past 50 years, but the dataset is incomplete.

Fluorescent Receptor Binding Assay for Detecting Ciguatoxins in Fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Ciguatera fish poisoning is an illness suffered by > 50,000 people yearly after consumption of fish containing ciguatoxins (CTXs). One of the current methodologies to detect ciguatoxins in fish is a radiolabeled receptor binding assay (RBA(R)).

Inhalation toxicity of brevetoxin 3 in rats exposed for 5 days
, 2004 Brevetoxins are potent neurotoxins produced by the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Exposure to brevetoxins may occur during a K. brevis red tide when the compounds become aerosolized by wind and surf.
