Neurotoxins from Marine Dinoflagellates: A Brief Review
Dinoflagellates are not only important marine primary producers and grazers, but also the major causative agents of harmful algal blooms. It has been reported that many dinoflagellate species can produce various natural toxins.

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family
Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

A Critical Overview of Common Foodborne Toxicants and Methods for Their Reliable Detection
ABSTRACT Food is an essential commodity for human health. However, toxicants such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamide, and pesticides can be present in food either naturally or through processing, packaging, or some anthropogenic activities. A thorough review of carefully selected studies revealed that climate change and pandemics have led to an ...

Characterization of Benzoyl Saxitoxin Analogs from the Toxigenic Marine Dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum by Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Ion-Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
The chain-forming marine dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum Graham has a remarkable capacity to produce a wide array of neurotoxic alkaloids associated with Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP). More than a decade ago, a completely new group of benzoyl

Climate change is expected to shift the risks posed by harmful dinoflagellates in China's coastal waters. In this study, the ecological–social risk is assessed by considering both the potential presence of these algae and their overlap with coastal populations and mariculture areas.

First Report of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Marine Invertebrates and Fish in Spain
A paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) episode developed in summer 2018 in the Rías Baixas (Galicia, NW Spain). The outbreak was associated with an unprecedentedly intense and long-lasting harmful algal bloom (HAB) (~one month) caused by the ...
