Research Excerpts

Overview

Brevetoxins are a suite of marine neurotoxins that activate voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in cell membranes. toxicity occurs from persistent activation of the channel at high doses. Brevetoxin-B2 is a toxic metabolite produced in shellfish exposed to algae that contain brevet toxin-B ( 1)

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Brevetoxins (PbTx) are a well-recognized group of neurotoxins associated with harmful algal blooms, and specifically recurrent "Florida Red Tides," in marine waters that are linked to impacts on both human and ecosystem health including well-documented "fish kills" and marine mammal mortalities in affected coastal waters.

Toxicity

Brevetoxins are believed to be due to the activation of voltage-sensitive sodium channels in cell membranes. This study assesses possible adverse health effects associated with short-term inhalation exposure to brevetoxin 3. The molecular ions m/z 1004, 1017 and 1033 dominated toxic chromatographic fractions from the extracts.
