General description

Polycyclic polyethers from the marine dinoflagellate Ptychodiscus brevis (Gymnodinium breve).
Red tide toxin; acts by opening Na+ channels.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent toxins responsible for "red tide" fish kills, these compounds disrupt neurotransmission by opening sodium channels.
Red tide toxin; acts by opening Na+ channels.

Other Notes

This form has an unusual acrolein side-chain on one of the terminal rings.

Since the isolation of brevetoxin-B, a red tide toxin, many bioactive marine natural products featuring synthetically challenging trans-fused polycyclic ether ring systems have been reported. We have developed SmI(2)-induced cyclization of beta-alkoxyacrylate with aldehyde, affording 2,6-syn-2,3-trans-tetrahydropyran (THP) or 2,7-syn-2,3-trans-oxepane with

Ladder-shaped polyether (LSP) compounds are thought to interact with transmembrane alpha-helices, but direct evidence has scarcely obtained for these interactions. We adopted a transmembrane alpha-helix of glycophorin A, and quantitatively evaluated its interaction with LSPs such as yessotoxin (YTX), desulfated

A facile and feasible magneto-controlled immunosensing platform was designed for sensitive electrochemical immunoassay of brevetoxin B (BTX-2) in seafood by using guanine-assembled graphene nanoribbons (GGNRs) as molecular tags on a home-made magnetic carbon paste electrode. Initially, monoclonal mouse anti-BTX-2 antibodies
