Syntheses of the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids

Tetrahedron, 2006
Abstract An intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has efficiently constructed the A-ring portions of the cylindrospermopsin alkaloids. A nitro-aldol addition of an elaborated nitroalkane to a pyrimidine aldehyde followed by an intramolecular reductive guanidinylation has enabled the syntheses of all three alkaloids in this family in 18–19 steps ...

Genotoxicity investigation of a cyanobacterial toxin, cylindrospermopsin

Toxicon, 2002
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a potent cyanobacterial hepatotoxin produced by Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and other cyanobacteria, is regularly found in water supplies in many parts of the world, and has been associated with the intoxication of humans and livestock.

Interlaboratory comparison trial on cylindrospermopsin measurement

Analytical Biochemistry, 2004
The hepatotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in mammalian cells. It is produced by freshwater cyanobacterial blooms in countries such as Australia, the United States, Israel, Thailand, and Brazil. An interlaboratory comparison was organized as a first step to evaluate the measurement of CYN in lyophilized ...

First occurrence of cylindrospermopsin in freshwater in France

Environmental Toxicology, 2008
AbstractEleven waterbodies in Western France dominated by cyanobacteria of the genera Aphanizomenon and Anabaena were analyzed in September 2006 for microcystins (MC) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN). CYN was detected for the first time in France in four of them in the presence of Aphanizomenon flos‐aquae and in the presence of Anabaena planctonica in the ...

Biosynthesis of Cylindrospermopsin in Cyanobacteria: Characterization of CyrJ the Sulfotransferase

Journal of Natural Products, 2021
7-Deoxy-desulfo-cylindrospermopsin was purified at small-scale from the supernatant of a culture of the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. PCC 10702. This metabolite was obtained in a pure form using a three-step chromatographic procedure, and its identity was confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Cytotoxicity Screening for the Cyanobacterial Toxin Cylindrospermopsin

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2009
The cell lines C3A, HepG2, NCI-87, HCT-8, HuTu-80, Caco-2, and Vero were screened for sensitivity to the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN), with the aim of determining the most sensitive cells to be used in cytotoxicity tests. Cell lines were chosen to be representative of the organs targeted by the toxin; liver, kidney, intestine, and were

Synthetic Studies on a Model of Cylindrospermopsin

Synlett, 2007
A new strategy for the synthesis of cylindrospermopsin is described using an intramolecular Mannich reaction to form ring A. Guanylation of the piperidine nitrogen and reaction on an activated double bond generates ring B.

Distribution of 14C cylindrospermopsin in vivo in the mouse

Environmental Toxicology, 2001
AbstractRadiolabelled 14C cylindrospermopsin (CYN) has been prepared and used to investigate the distribution and excretion of CYN in vivo in male Quackenbush mice. At a dose of 0.2 mg/kg (i.e., approx. median lethal dose) the following mean (SD) urinary and faecal recoveries (cumulative) were obtained, respectively: (0–6 hours, n=4) 48.2 (29.3)%, 11.9
