Recent Progress in Marine Toxin Rsearch

open access: yes, 1982
A series of toxins isolated from the dinoflagellates, Gonyaulax spp., sheds new light on the structure of the receptors on excitable membranes. Biosynthetic origins of these toxins and tetrodotoxin, another sodium channel-specific marine toxin, are ...

The Claisen rearrangement approach to fused bicyclic medium-ring oxacycles.

open access: yes, 2008
The synthesis of five fused-bicyclic medium-ring lactones carrying identical ring-fusion to that in the polyether toxins is described using an enolate hydroxylation, intramolecular hydrosilation, Claisen rearrangement ...

Tandem Alkylation−Michael Addition to Vinylogous Carbonates for the Stereoselective Construction of 2,3,3,6-Tetrasubstituted Tetrahydropyrans

open access: yes, 2016
A stereoselective method for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydropyran derivatives employing a tandem SN2−Michael addition sequence to vinylogous carbonates is developed.

Biological activities of aqueous and organic extracts from tropical marine sponges

open access: yes, 2010
We report on screening tests of 66 extracts obtained from 35 marine sponge species from the Caribbean Sea (Curaçao) and from eight species from the Great Barrier Reef (Lizard Island). Extracts were prepared in aqueous and organic solvents and were tested

Cationic Zirconocene Mediated Cascade Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans are common structural features of numerous natural products, most notably the marine toxins and the polyether antibiotics, such brevetoxin and monensin.

Simplified methods for obtaining purified oocysts from mice and for growing Cryptosporidium parvum in vitro

open access: yes, 1996
Seven- to 8-day-old Arc/Swiss mice were infected with 100,000-120,000 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. At 8 days postinfection (PI) the jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and rectum were removed.

Stereoselective 6-exo Radical Cyclization Using cis-Vinyl Sulfoxide: Practical Total Synthesis of CTX3C

open access: yes, 2016
Ciguatoxins, the principal causative toxins of ciguatera seafood poisoning, are large ladder-like polycyclic ethers. We report a highly stereoselective 6-exo radical cyclization/ring-closing olefin metathesis sequence to construct the syn/trans-fused ...

Review Ciguatoxins: Cyclic Polyether Modulators of Voltage-gated Iion Channel Function

open access: yes, 2014
: Ciguatoxins are cyclic polyether toxins, derived from marine dinoflagellates, which are responsible for the symptoms of ciguatera poisoning. Ingestion of tropical and subtropical fin fish contaminated by ciguatoxins results in an illness characterised ...

Self-Assembly of Okadaic Acid as a Pathway to the Cell

open access: yes, 2016
The polyether toxin okadaic acid (OA) inhibits several protein serine/threonine phosphatases that play central roles in the regulation of many essential cellular processes.
