Cytotoxicity and intestinal permeability of phycotoxins assessed by the human Caco-2 cell model
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 Phycotoxins are a class of multiple natural metabolites produced by microalgae in marine and freshwater ecosystems that bioaccumulate in food webs, particularly in shellfish, having a great impact on human health.

Neurotoxicity induced by microcystins and cylindrospermopsin: A review [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2019 Microcystins (MCs) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are among the most frequent toxins produced by cyanobacteria. These toxic secondary metabolites are classified as hepatotoxins and cytotoxin, respectively. Furthermore, both may present the ability to induce damage to the nervous system.

Diversity and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins in the Italian subalpine lacustrine district [PDF]
, 2012 Nine lakes (Garda, Maggiore, Como, Iseo, Lugano, Idro, Pusiano, Ledro and Levico) located in the Italian subalpine lacustrine district have been chosen for a comparative study about the diversity and the distribution of cyanobacterial toxins.

Cylindrospermopsin: occurrence, methods of detection and toxicology [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2012 Cyanobacteria are aquatic micro-organisms that pose a great threat to aquatic ecosystems by the production of dense blooms, but most importantly by the production of secondary metabolites, namely the cyanotoxins. One of these is cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a hepatotoxic polyketide-derived alkaloid with well-known associated cases of animal mortalities ...

Toxins, 2020 Toxic metabolites are produced by many cyanobacterial species. There are limited data on toxigenic benthic, mat-forming cyanobacteria, and information on toxic cyanobacteria from Central Asia is even more scarce.

Toxicity at the Edge of Life: A Review on Cyanobacterial Toxins from Extreme Environments
Marine Drugs, 2017 Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, of varied chemical nature and toxic effects. Although cyanobacteria thrive in all kinds of ecosystems on Earth even under very harsh conditions, current knowledge on cyanotoxin distribution

Detoxification of Cylindrospermopsin by Pyrite in Water [PDF]
Catalysts, 2019 Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanobacterial toxin released from eutrophic water. It persistently remains in the environment because its degradation under solar light is extremely low. In this study, pyrite, an abundant mineral, was investigated as a catalyst for decomposing and detoxifying CYN in water. A detailed examination of intermediates provided
