This study investigates the occurrence of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) and their producing phytoplankton species in southern Brazil, as well as the potential for toxin accumulation in co-occurring mussels (Perna perna) and octopuses (Octopus ...

Lipophilic shellfish toxins (LSTs) can cause human illness and therefore represent a serious threat to public health. Shellfish are the main dietary source of LSTs, but very few studies have appraised dietary exposure to LSTs through shellfish ...

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the safety of an oil derived from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. (strain ATCC‐20889) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

Accumulation and Biotransformation of Dinophysis Toxins by the Surf Clam Mesodesma donacium
Surf clams, Mesodesma donacium, were shown to accumulate toxins from Dinophysis acuminata blooms. Only pectenotoxin 2 (PTX2) and some of its derivatives were found, and no toxins from the okadaic acid group were detected.

A Convergent Route to the CDEF-Tetracycle of Pectenotoxin-2
A convergent synthesis of the CDEF-tetracyclic region of pectenotoxin-2 (PTX-2) is described. The synthetic pathway derives from a head-to-tail union of 2 equiv of linalool to establish a stereodefined DEF-tricyclic aldehyde.

Field monitoring of copepodamides using a new application for solid phase adsorption toxin tracking
Abstract Chemical signaling is ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plankton rely on chemical signals to find mates, hunt prey, and respond to threats, and these small‐scale interactions can propagate into community‐wide cascades and large‐scale ecological changes. The chemical signaling exchange in the open ocean is poorly understood, and fundamental

Actin depolymerizing action by marine toxin, Pectenotoxin-2
Pectenotoxin-2 (PCTX-2), which is one of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP), is a family of cyclic polyether macrolide toxin isolated from scallop Patinopecten yessoensis. Although PCTX-2 has a potent cytotoxic activities against several cancer cell lines, the biochemical activity of PCTX-2 has not been determined yet.
