The quite low cross-reactivity of Kawatsu's anti-tetrodotoxin monoclonal antibody to 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin, 11-nortetrodotoxin-6(S)-ol, and 11-oxotetrodotoxin, the major tetrodotoxin analogues in pufferfish

Toxicon, 2023
The monoclonal antibody against tetrodotoxin (TTX), prepared by Kawatsu et al. (1997), has been used in several TTX-related studies. Herein, we confirmed the quite low cross-reactivity of this antibody to three major TTX analogues in pufferfish using competitive ELISA: 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX (

Occurrence of tetrodotoxin and its analogues in the Brazilian frog Brachycephalus ephippium (Anura: Brachycephalidae)

Toxicon, 2002
Brachycephalus ephippium is a diurnal frog, that shows aposematic colouration and inhabits Atlantic forest leaf litter in south-eastern Brazil. The presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in the skin, liver and ovaries of B. ephippium was demonstrated. The skin (260 M.U./g) exhibited the highest toxicity followed by liver (177 M.U./g).

Tetrodotoxin and its analogues in extracts from the toad Atelopus oxyrhynchus (family: Bufonidae)

Toxicon, 1992
Tetrodotoxin and its analogues, 4-epitetrodotoxin and 4,9-anhydrotetrodotoxin, were detected in the toad Atelopus oxyrhynchus by HPLC analysis. The toxin and its analogues were still present in a specimen which lived 3.5 years in captivity.

Variability of tetrodotoxin and of its analogues in the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens (Amphibia: Urodela: Salamandridae)

Toxicon, 2012
Efts and adult specimens (n = 142) of the red-spotted newt Notophthalmus viridescens from various locations in Canada and USA were analyzed for the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) and of its analogues 6-epitetrodotoxin and 11-oxotetrodotoxin. Considerable individual variations in toxin levels were found within and among populations from New Hampshire ...

Occurrence of 11-oxotetrodotoxin in the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, and further studies on the levels of tetrodotoxin and its analogues in the newt's efts

Toxicon, 2003
An analogue of tetrodotoxin (TTX), 11-oxoTTX, was semi-purified from the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, and identified by ESI-MS and 1H NMR spectra. The levels of TTX, 11-oxoTTX and 6-epiTTX in early stage of development (efts) of this newt were investigated by a post-column fluorescent-HPLC system, and compared with those of adult newts.

Synthesis of the 8-Deoxy Analogue of 4,9-Anhydro-10-hemiketal-5-deoxy-tetrodotoxin, a Proposed Biosynthetic Precursor of Tetrodotoxin

Organic Letters, 2021
Despite decades of research, the biosynthesis of tetrodotoxin, also known as a puffer fish toxin, remains an unsolved mystery. We disclose a synthesis of the 8-deoxy analogue of 4,9-anhydro-10-hemiketal-5-deoxy-tetrodotoxin, a possible biosynthetic precursor of tetrodotoxin isolated from the Japanese toxic newt, by an intramolecular radical cyclization

Changes in Tissue Distribution of Tetrodotoxin and Its Analogues in Association with Maturation in the Toxic Flatworm, Planocera multitentaculata

Marine Biotechnology, 2022
The toxic flatworm, Planocera multitentaculata, possesses highly concentrated tetrodotoxin (TTX), also known as pufferfish toxin, throughout its life cycle, including the egg and larval stages. Additionally, TTX analogues, 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX and 11-norTTX-6(S)-ol, have also been detected in the flatworm.

Tetrodotoxin and Its Analogues in Food: Recent Updates on Sample Preparation and Analytical Methods Since 2012

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2022
Tetrodotoxin (TTX), found in various organisms including pufferfish, is an extremely potent marine toxin responsible for numerous food poisoning accidents. Due to its serious toxicity and public health threat, detecting TTX and its analogues in diverse food matrices with a simple, fast, efficient method has become a worldwide concern.

An in silico perspective on the toxicodynamic of tetrodotoxin and analogues – A tool for supporting the hazard identification

Toxicon, 2017
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin naturally found in terrestrial and marine animals targeting the voltage-gated sodium channels. Historically, TTX has raised food safety concerns mainly in the Asian countries due to the consumption of the typical pufferfish-derived delicacy fugu.

Total Synthesis of Chiriquitoxin, an Analogue of Tetrodotoxin Isolated from the Skin of a Dart Frog

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2014
AbstractThe first total synthesis of chiriquitoxin, the most structurally complex analogue of tetrodotoxin isolated from a Costa Rican dart frog, has been accomplished from a newly designed intermediate for a variety of tetrodotoxin derivatives. The synthesis includes the third total synthesis of tetrodotoxin in this laboratory, and its intermediate ...
