A Colorimetric Method for Determination of Saxitoxin

open access: yes, 1977
Saxitoxin, the paralytic shellfish poison, can be conveniently determined by colorimetry after hydrogen peroxide oxidation and reaction of the resultant guanidine with biacetyl. This colorimetric method has been used to assay saxitoxin quantitatively at

Bacterial Production of Saxitoxin

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1988
A bacterium was isolated from the homogenate of Protogonyaulax tamarensis cells cultured in T1 medium containing antibiotics. The culture broth after centrifugation, to remove the cells, and the bacterial cells contained a toxin that could kill mice with signs similar to those of poisoning by paralytic shellfish toxins or tetrodotoxin. The toxin in the

Production of antibodies and development of highly sensitive formats of enzyme immunoassay for saxitoxin analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In this paper the production of antibodies against saxitoxin (STX) is described, as is the optimization and comparison of two competitive ELISA formats (direct and indirect) for the detection of this toxin.

A Stereocontrolled Synthesis of (+)-Saxitoxin

open access: yes, 2016
A concise stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-saxitoxin is described. A silver(I)-initiated hydroamination cascade constructs the bicyclic guanidinium ion core from a alkynyl bisguanidine.

Evaluation of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Marine Oyster Farming and Microalgae in the Atlantic Amazon Evidences Safety but Highlights Potential Risks of Shellfish Poisoning

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Marine phycotoxins are organic compounds synthesized by some species of microalgae, which accumulate in the tissues of filter-feeder organisms such as bivalve mollusks.

Interplay of Nutrients, Temperature, and Competition of Native and Alien Cyanobacteria Species Growth and Cyanotoxin Production in Temperate Lakes

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Global warming and eutrophication contribute to formation of HABs and distribution of alien cyanobacteria northward. The current study assessed how alien to Europe Sphaerospermopsis aphanizomenoides and Chrysosporum bergii will co-occur with dominant ...

Visible Fluorescence Chemosensor for Saxitoxin [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2007
Absorption spectra of a number of shellfish extracts have been obtained and reveal prominent absorptions in all samples at 210 and 260 nm and at 325 nm in some of them. These absorptions preclude the use of chromophores with similar absorptions in testing of shellfish samples for paralytic shellfish toxins.

Chemosensors for the Marine Toxin Saxitoxin

open access: yes, 2016
Eleven anthracylmethyl crown ethers have been synthesized and evaluated as fluorescence sensors for the marine toxin saxitoxin. Fluorescence enhancement data are consistent with a 1:1 binding complex for all crowns. The binding constants are in the range

Research progress on extraction and analytical methods for saxitoxin and its congeners

open access: yes, 2023
Saxitoxin is a potent neurotoxin commonly found in shellfish, produced by dinoflagellate and cyanobacterial blooms in seawater or fresh water. This review dissects the conventional liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) and the ...

A Systematic Literature Review for Evidence of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae Toxigenicity in Recreational Waters and Toxicity of Dietary Supplements: 2000–2017

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Previous studies of recreational waters and blue-green algae supplements (BGAS) demonstrated co-occurrence of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) and cyanotoxins, presenting exposure risk.
