Methodology studies on one and two carbon ring expansion on polyether polycyclic natural products [PDF]
, 2020 Medium sized cyclic ethers are found in many natural products, with the most notable example being the polyether polycyclic family of marine toxins. Due to their increased size loss of entropy, torsional strain and unfavourable transannular interactions,

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Many benthic dinoflagellates are known or suspected producers of lipophilic polyether phycotoxins, particularly in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. These toxins are responsible for diverse intoxication events of marine fauna and human consumers of

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Spirolides are polyether cyclic imines considered as “fast acting toxins.” Long-term human health consequences of spirolide ingestion are uncertain, and hence regulatory limits for human consumption have not been established.

CuAAC click chemistry for the enhanced detection of novel alkyne-based natural product toxins [PDF]
, 2018 In the context of discovering and quantifying terminal alkyne-based natural products, here we report the combination of CuAAC click chemistry with LC-MS for the detection of polyether toxins (prymnesins) associated with harmful algal blooms.

Marine Drugs, 2020 Ciguatera poisoning is linked to the ingestion of seafood that is contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs). The structural variability of these polyether toxins in nature remains poorly understood due to the low concentrations present even in highly toxic ...

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Alternative method to detect compounds produced by Gambierdiscus spp.
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Ciguatoxins (CTXs) and CTX precursors are produced by several Gambierdiscus spp. These polyether toxins are associated to ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). In addition to CTX, maitotoxins (MTX) and gambierol are also produced by these dinoflagellates.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Clusterization‐triggered emission is realized in dilute aqueous solution by introducing imine linkages into cellulose‐based luminophores. Imine functionalization creates O/N‐rich, hydrogen‐bonded clustered microenvironments that stabilize emissive states and restrict molecular motions. Luminescence is tunable by amine type and multiplicity.

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.
