Acute Effects of Brevetoxin-3 Administered via Oral Gavage to Mice
Marine Drugs, 2023 Brevetoxins (BTXs) constitute a family of lipid-soluble toxic cyclic polyethers mainly produced by Karenia brevis, which is the main vector for a foodborne syndrome known as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) in humans.

Age and Sex as Determinants of Acute Domoic Acid Toxicity in a Mouse Model
Toxins, 2023 The excitatory neurotoxin domoic acid (DA) consistently contaminates food webs in coastal regions around the world. Acute exposure to the toxin causes Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning, a potentially lethal syndrome of gastrointestinal- and seizure-related ...

Are toxins from harmful algae a factor involved in the decline of harbour seal populations in Scotland? [PDF]
, 2015 Firstly this study builds on the investigation initiated by Hall and Frame (2010), which found that Scottish harbour seals were exposed to domoic acid (DA), a potent natural neurotoxin produced by phytoplankton.

Molecular Determinants of Brevetoxin Binding to Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Toxins, 2019 Brevetoxins are produced by dinoflagellates such as Karenia brevis in warm-water red tides and cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. They bind to voltage-gated sodium channels at neurotoxin receptor 5, making the channels more active by shifting the ...

Table_1_Human shellfish poisoning: Implementation of a national surveillance program in France.docx
, 2023 Toxic algae and their toxins represent an emerging public health issue, particularly due to global warming. The toxicological mechanisms of neurotoxic phycotoxins and their human health effects have been widely described (paralytic, neurological, amnesic,

Brevenal inhibits pacific ciguatoxin-1B-induced neurosecretion from bovine chromaffin cells.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Ciguatoxins and brevetoxins are neurotoxic cyclic polyether compounds produced by dinoflagellates, which are responsible for ciguatera and neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) respectively. Recently, brevenal, a natural compound was found to specifically
