Transformation of a marine toxic polyether, okadaic acid. [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1988
Natural okadaic acid 1 was transformed into the 7, 24, 27-tri-0-benzyl-l, 2-acetonide derivative (4) in a 66% overall yidd. The corresponding synthetic derivative (4) was identified with this authentic sample.

Dinophysis Toxins: Distribution, Fate in Shellfish and Impacts

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Several planktonic dinoflagellate species of the genus Dinophysis produce one or two groups of lipophilic toxins: (i) okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, the dinophysistoxins (DTXs), and (ii) pectenotoxins (PTXs) [...]

Multifunctional Gold Nanocluster‐Based PROTAC System for Targeted Degradation of Phosphorylated Tau and Modulation of Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a novel proteolysis‐targeting chimera (PROTAC) system conjugated to lipoic acid gold nanoclusters (PLANC), designed to degrade pTau, regulate inflammatory signaling, and effectively traverse the blood‐brain barrier (BBB). PLANC degraded pTau at various phosphorylation sites, with mechanistic studies confirming proteasome‐mediated degradation

Harmful algal and cyanobacterial toxins in foraging green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Florida's Big Bend

open access: yesToxicon: X, 2020
Numerous toxin-producing harmful algal (HAB) species occur in Florida's coastal waters. Exposure to these toxins has been shown to have sublethal effects in sea turtles.

Two‐Dimensional Materials For Lateral Flow Assays: A Critical Review of Functional Roles and Translational Challenges

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
2D nanosheets, with large surface area, excellent optical/electrical properties, and high specificity, combine with lateral flow assay strips to enable rapid, readable detection, boosting the strips’ development and applications. Abstract Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are widely used for point‐of‐care diagnostics, but their detection capability remains ...

Marine toxins and the cytoskeleton: okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2008
Okadaic acid (OA) and its analogs, the dinophysistoxins, are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. This action is well known to cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal symptons when the toxins reach the digestive tract by ingestion of mollusks. A less well‐known effect of these group of toxins is their effect in the cytoskeleton.

Evidence for physiological functions of protein phosphatases in the heart: evaluation with okadaic acid

open access: yes, 1993
Okadaic acid exerts a positive inotropic effect in cardiac preparations. We studied whether the positive inotropic effect of okadaic acid in cardiac preparations could be due to phosphatase inhibition and whether this inhibition affects the ...

Co-occurrence of marine and freshwater phycotoxins in oysters, and analysis of possible predictors for management

open access: yesToxicon: X, 2023
Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of phycotoxin co-occurrence in the commercially and ecologically-relevant species.

Far‐infrared irradiation attenuates platelet‐derived growth factor‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell migration through protein phosphatase 2A‐mediated Akt inhibition

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.

Isoproterenol-induced dephosphorylation events in the presence of okadaic acid.

open access: yes, 2013
MEFs were pretreated with okadaic acid (1 μM) for 30 minutes and then were stimulated with isoproterenol (10 μM) for various times (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes).
