The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group.

In all, 21 marine chemicals demonstrated anthelmintic, antibacterial, anticoagulant, antifungal, antimalarial, antiplatelet, antituberculosis or antiviral activities. An additional 23 compounds had significant effects on the cardiovascular, sympathomimetic or the nervous system, as well as possessed anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressant or fibrinolytic effects. Finally, 22 marine compounds were reported to act on a variety of molecular targets, and thus could potentially contribute to several pharmacological classes.

Besonders bedroht sind aquatische Organismen, weil sie von Cyanobakterien sehr vielfältig beeinflussbar sind und ihnen zudem oft nur sehr begrenzt ausweichen können. Zu den toxinreichsten Cyanobakterien gehören Arten der Gattung Planktothrix. Hierzu zählt auch die Burgunderblutalge Planktothrix rubescens, eine Cyanobakterienart die über die letzten Jahrzehnte im Besonderen in den Seen der Voralpenregionen zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen hat. An einigen dieser Voralpenseen treten seit dem Erstarken von P. rubescens existenzielle, fischereiwirtschaftliche Probleme auf, die wesentlich auf markante Wachstumseinbrüche bei den Coregonenbeständen (Coregonus sp.; i.e. Renken, Felchen, etc.) zurückzuführen sind.

  • Toxin Types, Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics
    Chapter 16: Toxin types, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics Andrew Humpage1,2,3 1Australian Water Quality Centre, PMB 3, Salisbury, Adelaide, SA 5108, Australia. 2Discipline of Pharmacology, School of Medical Sciences, Uni- versity of Adelaide, SA 5005, Australia. 3Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment, PMB 3, Salisbury, Adelaide, SA 5108, Aus- tralia. Introduction Cyanobacteria produce a wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites (see Table A.1 in Appendix A), some which are toxic (Namikoshi and Rinehart 1996; Skulberg 2000). Those toxic to mammals include the mi- crocystins, cylindrospermopsins, saxitoxins, nodularins, anatoxin-a, ho- moanatoxin-a, and anatoxin-a(s). It has been recently suggested that β- methylamino alanine (BMAA) may be a new cyanobacterial toxin (Cox et al. 2003; Cox et al. 2005). The public health risks of cyanotoxins in drink- ing water have recently been reviewed (Falconer and Humpage 2005b). The aim of this paper is to concisely review our current knowledge of their acute toxicity, mechanisms of action, toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. Microcystins Microcystins (MCs) are a group of at least 80 variants based on a cyclic heptapeptide structure (Fig. 1). All toxic microcystin structural variants contain a unique hydrophobic amino acid, 3-amino-9-methoxy-10-phenyl- 2,6,8-trimethyl-deca-4(E),6(E)-dienoic acid (ADDA). The prototype- compound is MC-LR, which has leucine and arginine at the two hypervari- able positions in the ring structure (X and Y, respectively, in Fig. 1). Sub- 384 A. Humpage stitution of other amino acids at these sites, or methylation of residues at other sites, leads to wide structural variability (Namikoshi et al.

    THE AUTOCRINE EXCITOTOXICITY OF ANTILLATOXIN, A NOVEL LIPOPEPTIDE DERIVED FROM THE PANTROPICAL MARINE CYANOBACTERIUM LYNGBYA majuscula by JOHN MICHAEL MOULTON (Under the D rect on of Dr. Thomas Murray) ABSTRACT Ant llatoxin (ATX) is a l popept de produce d by the mar ne cyanobacter um . Lyngbya majuscula . ATX, a Na channel act vator, produces N 0methyl 0D0aspartate (NMDA) receptor mediated neurotox c ty in rat cerebellar granule neurons (C2Ns). To determ ne whether ATX produced this neurotox c ty throu1h an ndirect mechanism, the nfluence of ATX on 1lutamate release 3as ascerta ned. ATX produced a concentrat on0 dependent increase in e,tracellular 1lutamate. This response was prevented by the Na . channel anta1onist tetrodotox n (TTX). ATX caused a stron1 membrane depolar 4at on 3 th a ma1nitude comparable to that of 100 mM KCL. ATX also produced concentrat on0dependent cytotox c ty as measured by lactate dehydro1enase act vity. Ca .2 influ, was measured us ng a fluorescent ima1 n1 plate reader (FLIPR). AT X produced concentrat on0dependent Ca .2 influx. The neurotox c mechanisms of ATX are therefore s m lar to those of brevetox ns, which produce neuronal injury through depolar 4at on0 nduced Na .1 load, glutamate release, rel ef of M1 .2 block of NMDA recepto rs, and Ca .2 influx.

Received: 27 August 2019; Accepted: 9 September 2019; Published: 12 September 2019 Abstract: The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria in the aquatic environment is increasing the risk of water pollution caused by cyanotoxins, which poses a serious threat to human health. However, the structural characterization, distribution and identification techniques of cyanotoxins have not been comprehensively reviewed in previous studies. This paper aims to elaborate the existing information systematically on the diversity of cyanotoxins to identify valuable research avenues. According to the chemical structure, cyanotoxins are mainly classified into cyclic peptides, alkaloids, lipopeptides, nonprotein amino acids and lipoglycans. In terms of global distribution, the amount of cyanotoxins are unbalanced in different areas.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Min Wu for the degree of Master ofScience in Pharmacy presented on September 13, 1996. Title:Novel Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from the Marine CyanobacteriumLyngbya majuscula Abstract ved: Redacted for Privacy William H, Gerwick Marine algae have been recognized as arich resource of new and unusual organic molecules withdiverse biological properties. The current need to develop new antifungal,anticancer, antibiotic and antiviral drugs has led to an intenseresearch effort into the discovery, isolation and structure determinationof potential medicinal agents from marine algae. In the past two years, I have participatedin a drug discovery program designed forantitumor, antifungal and other agents of potential pharmaceutical utility from themarine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula. This research utilized modernchromatographic and spectrochemical techniques including2D NMR spectroscopy. Brine shrimp toxicity guided the fractionationthat led to the discovery of the biologically activecompound kalkitoxin from a Curacao Lyngbya majuscula extract.The structure of this new thiazoline ring-containing lipid wasdetermined spectroscopically by interpretation of 2D-NMR experiments,including heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC),heteronuclear multiple-bond coherence spectroscopy (HMBC) and'H-'H COSY at room temperature and elevated temperature.Kalkitoxin shows modest molluscicidal toxicity, good brine shrimptoxicity and extremely potent ichthyotoxicity.

Received: 12 September 2013; in revised form: 10 November 2013 / Accepted: 12 November 2013 / Published: 28 November 2013 Abstract: Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play a central role in the generation and propagation of action potentials in excitable neurons and other cells and are targeted by commonly used local anesthetics, antiarrhythmics, and anticonvulsants. They are also common targets of neurotoxins including shellfish toxins. Shellfish toxins are a variety of toxic secondary metabolites produced by prokaryotic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic dinoflagellates in both marine and fresh water systems, which can accumulate in marine animals via the food chain. Consumption of shellfish toxin-contaminated seafood may result in potentially fatal human shellfish poisoning. This article provides an overview of the structure, bioactivity, and pharmacology of shellfish toxins that act on VGSCs, along with a brief discussion on their pharmaceutical potential for pain management. Keywords: VGSCs; shellfish toxins; structure; bioactivity; pharmaceutical potential 1. Overview of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are transmembrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ion (Na+) through the cell plasma membrane upon activation.
