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 ...

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

Neurotoxic Alkaloids: Saxitoxin and Its Analogs
Marine Drugs, 2010 Saxitoxin (STX) and its 57 analogs are a broad group of natural neurotoxic alkaloids, commonly known as the paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). PSTs are the causative agents of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and are mostly associated with marine ...

A New Cytotoxicity Assay for Brevetoxins Using Fluorescence Microscopy
Marine Drugs, 2014 Brevetoxins are a family of ladder-framed polyether toxins produced during blooms of the marine dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. Consumption of shellfish or finfish exposed to brevetoxins can lead to the development of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning.

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring
Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).
