A smartphone-controlled amperometric immunosensor for the detection of Pacific ciguatoxins in fish [PDF]

, 2021
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are marine neurotoxins produced by microalgae of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. CTXs may reach humans through food webs and cause ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP).

Stereoselective synthesis of the I–L fragment of the Pacific ciguatoxins [PDF]

, 2020
The I–L ring system found in all the Pacific ciguatoxins has been prepared from a tricyclic precursor in a highly stereoselective manner. Subtle differences in the reactivity of the enones present in the seven- and eight-membered rings of the tricyclic ...
