Accumulation, transformation and breakdown of DSP toxins from the toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuta in blue mussels, Mytilus edulis [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxins (DTX) and pectenotoxins (PTX) produced by the dinoflagellates Dinophysis spp. can accumulate in shellfish and cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning upon human consumption. Shellfish toxicity is a result of algal abundance and toxicity as well as accumulation and depuration kinetics in mussels.

Diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins are widely distributed over the world, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and even tumor in human. However, bivalves, the main carrier of the DSP toxins, have some tolerant mechanisms to DSP toxins, though it remains ...

Effects of the Marine Biotoxins Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxins on Fish
Natural high proliferations of toxin-producing microorganisms in marine and freshwater environments result in dreadful consequences at the socioeconomically and environmental level due to water and seafood contamination.

Detection of DSP-Toxins, Okadaic Acid, and Dinophysis Toxin-1 in Shellfish by Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase Assay [PDF]
Abstract A relatively rapid protein phosphatase-based assay was developed for detecting okadaic acid in extracts of shellfish, using oysters (Crassostrea virginica) as a model. The assay has good sensitivity, detecting okadaic acid in crude methanolic extracts of oysters at ≥4 ng/mL (≥0.1 ng/assay).

Biosynthetic studies of the DSP toxin skeleton
AbstractMarine toxins have drawn wide interest because their economical impact and disastrous effect upon the shellfish industry and public health in many parts of the world. One of the most interesting group of substances of marine toxins, from structural and pharmacological points of view are polyether compounds, which generally present a great ...

Further Studies on the Analysis of DSP Toxin Profiles in Galician Mussels
Further studies on mussel samples from Galicia, Spain, have revealed the presence of okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin 2 (DTX2), and the fatty acid acyl esters of both of these toxins as the "DTX3" complex. Measurements were performed with an improved in situ method for the formation of 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM) derivatives followed by liquid ...
