A Colorimetric Method for Determination of Saxitoxin
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
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]
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
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.

Visible Fluorescence Chemosensor for Saxitoxin [PDF]
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
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
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 ...
