A novel group of toxins, the spirolides, has been investigated by several mass spectrometric (MS) methods to enable structure elucidation and metabolite identification. These macrocyclic compounds, produced by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii, are a new class of marine phycotoxin with characteristic spiro-linked tricyclic ether and imine moieties. A crude phytoplankton extract has been shown to contain known spirolides and several unknown compounds, present at low yet significant levels. This study has focused on mass spectrometric characterization of the main component of this extract, 13-desmethyl spirolide C. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra were collected on triple-quadrupole and quadrupole linear ion-trap instruments. High-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance MS data revealed the accurate masses of the protonated molecule and the product ions formed by infrared multiphoton dissociation. A fragmentation scheme for this toxin has been proposed to explain the formation of the collision-induced fragments. Charge-remote fragmentations dominate the CID spectra, because there is only one predominantly basic site in this molecule, and prove to be structurally informative. Extensive MS characterization of 13-desmethyl spirolide C will undoubtedly be useful in the characterization of known and unknown spirolides and other related compounds.

“…Pinnatoxins are cyclic imine toxins and of them pinnatoxin A was the first to be characterised (Uemura et al 1995). Pinnatoxins BÁD were then isolated from P. muricata in Japan (Chou et al 1996;Takada et al 2001). Pinnatoxins EÁG were detected in shellfish from northern New Zealand and South Australia (McNabb et al 2008;Selwood et al 2010).…”

An individual non-motile (NM) cell was isolated from a surface sediment sample collected in Guangxi, China and subsequently established as a dinoflagellate strain in culture. The motile cells are 22.5Á32.5 mm long and 20.0Á30.0 mm wide, with a plate formula of Po, X, 4?, 3a, 7ƒ, 6c, 5(?)s, 5ƒ?, 2ƒƒ, fitting the description of Vulcanodinium rugosum. The Chinese strain shares 99.8%, 97.4% and 96.7% similarity (LSU sequence) with those from Australasia, France and Japan. Asexual division of V. rugosum takes place either in the thecate motile stage or within a NM division cell. Motile cells divided by binary fission inside the parent cell and transformed to NM division cells within 24 h. The NM cell underwent one to three consecutive divisions within the parent wall. The divisions were not always synchronous and neither was the release of motile cells from the NM cells. It generally took 4 to 6 days for the NM cells to complete one division. NM cells survived for 1 month at 4 8C in the dark, suggesting that they might play an important role in species dispersal. A novel pinnatoxin was detected at 20 pg cell(1 and no other known pinnatoxins (AÁG) were detected.

“…Pntx (A-G) and Pttx (A-C) were initially found in Japan and New Zealand (Chou et al, 1996;takada et al, 2001a;Uemura et al, 1995). the source of Pntx and Pttx currently is thought to be the dinoflagellate Vulcanodinium rugosum (Rhodes et al, 2010;Selwood et al, 2010;Nézan and Chomérat, 2011;Rhodes et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2011), and Pttx may be biotransformation products of Pntx .…”

Summary Aquatic food accounts for over 40% of global animal food products, and the potential contamination with toxins of algal origin -marine biotoxins -poses a health threat for consumers. The gold standards to assess toxins in aquatic food have traditionally been in vivo methodssingle marine biotoxins or combinations of marine biotoxins and intoxication symptomatology as well as monitoring the "success" of controls implemented during fishery and aquaculture production, processing, and retailing. For this reason, a workshop was organized in ermatingen, Switzerland by the Center for Alternatives to Animal testing -europe (CAAteurope) within the framework of the transatlantic think tank for toxicology (t 4 ).In contrast to other food products where hygiene and potential contamination with microbes or mold toxins is the prime issue, the emphasis in aquatic products (shellfish and finfish) is, beyond viral and bacterial contaminations, primarily placed on potential contamination with marine biotoxins owing to the numerous and recurring human intoxications.The gold standards to assess toxins in aquatic food have traditionally been in vivo methods, i.e., the mouse and the rat bioassays. Besides the ethical issues of in vivo bioassays there are specific difficulties, e.g., different exposure route (i.p. versus oral), low inter-species comparability, high intra-species variability, and questionable extrapolation of quantitative risk to humans, thus highlighting the need for the development of more reliable detection and quantification methods. Based on this reasoning, the european Food Safety Authority (eFSA) advocates the use of an analytical method, i.e., LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography coupled Mass Spectrometry), as a substitute for in vivo bioassays for almost all classes of marine toxins. However, although lC-MS is a very sensitive method that has the advantages of being able to detect multiple toxins in a single analysis and being good for confirming the identity of toxins, the quality of quantitative analysis is dependent on the availability of calibration standards. While many new toxin structural analogues have been detected and identified using LC-MS, this technique -as with most other methods -is not good at detecting new toxin types. When new toxin analogues are detected but accurate standards are not yet available, only an approximate quantitation is possible using estimated response factors.For the purpose of risk assessment of food, however, it is imperative to focus on the possible adverse effects, independent of whether they stem from one toxin or a combination of toxins. As toxicity is defined by functional and structural changes of biological systems, the development of a human-relevant in vitro system for appropriate risk assessment of marine biotoxins in seafood stands to reason. Moreover, poor correlation of human intoxications, of acute symptomatology and long-term adverse effects, and of predictive in vitro, in vivo, and analytical detection methodologies of marine biotoxins stems not least from a...
