Sensitive Detection of Ciguatoxins Using a Neuroblastoma Cell-Based Assay with Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Inhibitors [PDF]
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are neurotoxins responsible for ciguatera poisoning (CP), which affects more than 50,000 people worldwide annually. The development of analytical methods to prevent CP is a pressing global issue, and the N2a assay is one of the most ...

Optimization of the Extraction Protocol for Pacific Ciguatoxins from Marine Products Prior to Analysis Using the Neuroblastoma Cell-Based Assay [PDF]
Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is caused by the consumption of marine products contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus.

Synthesis of the A-F Fragment of the Pacific Ciguatoxin CTX3C by Iterative Ring-Closing Metathesis and Tsuji-Trost Allylation. [PDF]
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 Confirmed Occurrence of Ciguatera Poisoning in the UK from Imported Pinjalo Snapper (Pinjalo pinjalo) [PDF]
Three people in England consumed fish steaks labeled as Red Snapper (Lutjanus bohar) originating from the Indian Ocean. Within 12 h, all three experienced sickness including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, as well as myalgia and paresthesia.
