Permeability of dihydro- and cysteine-brevetoxin metabolites across a Caco-2 cell monolayer

open access: yes, 2014
Brevetoxin B is a highly reactive molecule, due in part to an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde group at the terminal side chain, leading to metabolism by reduction, oxidation and conjugation. These reactions have little effect to reduce intrinsic activity at the

Design of a Duplex-to-Complex Structure-Switching Approach for the Homogeneous Determination of Marine Biotoxins in Water

open access: yesToxins
In this report, we describe a fluorescent assay for the detection of six marine toxins in water. The mechanism of detection is based on a duplex-to-complex structure-switching approach.

Brevetoxin PbTx2 Modulates Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response in an In Vitro Human Immune Cell Line

open access: yesToxics
Brevetoxins (PbTx) exert detrimental effects on marine organisms and humans, mainly through alterations in immune cell function. This study evaluated the immunotoxic potential of sublethal concentrations of PbTx-2 using the THP-1 human monocyte cell line

Inhalation Toxicity of Brevetoxin 3 in Rats Exposed for Twenty-Two Days

open access: yes, 2005
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.

Harmful algal blooms in the Gulf of Mexico : brevetoxin degradation and derivation formation via photochemical processes

open access: yes
Harmful algal blooms (HAB’s) of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (Gymnodinium breve) are recurring events in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) which have significant adverse human health, environmental and economic impacts.

“Algal-dromes”: a novel conceptual approach to illness in humans exposed to harmful algal bloom toxins

open access: yesFrontiers in Toxicology
Although adverse health effects from harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxins have been described since antiquity, the true worldwide incidence and disease burden has yet to be defined.

Brevetoxin distribution in various sample types from stranded bottlenose dolphins in the 1999 UME.

open access: yes, 2012
Values are reported in ng brevetoxin-3 equiv./g. Data are median, quartile, and minimum/maximum values indicated by the midline, box, and whisker lines; respectively. Note: ‘na’ denotes samples were not available for analysis and “
