The recently characterized single-domain voltage-gated ion channels from eukaryotic protists (EukCats) provide an array of novel channel proteins upon which to test the pharmacology of both clinically and environmentally relevant marine toxins.

The fully functionalized A−F ring system of the Pacific ciguatoxin CTX3C suitable for coupling to the I−M fragment of the natural product, has been synthesized from a simple glucal derivative. A six‐step sequence that features ring‐closing metathesis and stereoselective palladium‐mediated allylation has been deployed in an iterative manner to construct

First Light Demonstration of Red Solar Induced Fluorescence for Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring
Abstract The risks harmful algal blooms (HAB) pose to aquatic ecosystems, public health, and coastal economies necessitate supplementation of current observation strategies. Herein, we explore the use of red solar induced fluorescence (SIF) from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), a remote sensing measurement retrievable in variable cloud

Brevetoxin versus Brevenal Modulation of Human Nav1 Channels
Brevetoxins (PbTx) and brevenal are marine ladder-frame polyethers. PbTx binds to and activates voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels in native tissues, whereas brevenal antagonizes these actions.

Red tides involving Karenia brevis expose humans to brevetoxins (PbTxs). Oral exposition triggers neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, whereas inhalation induces a respiratory syndrome and sensory disturbances.

Structure Activity Relationship of Brevenal Hydrazide Derivatives
Brevenal is a ladder frame polyether produced by the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. This organism is also responsible for the production of the neurotoxic compounds known as brevetoxins. Ingestion or inhalation of the brevetoxins leads to adverse effects

Acute Effects of Brevetoxin-3 Administered via Oral Gavage to Mice
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.

Synthesis, Modeling, and Biological Evaluation of Analogues of the Semisynthetic Brevetoxin Antagonist β‐Naphthoyl‐Brevetoxin [PDF]
AbstractBrevetoxins are neurotoxic compounds produced by the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Extensive blooms induce neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) and asthma‐like symptoms in humans. β‐naphthoyl‐brevetoxin, the first semisynthetic brevetoxin antagonist, has been defined as the lead compound in the investigation of the mechanisms of ...
