Quantitative structure-activity relationships were determined for the diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins, okadaic acid (OA), OA diol-ester and dinophysistoxin-4 (DTX-4), using a sensitive bioassay procedure with the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii. OA diol-ester was found to be nearly as toxic as OA. This result contradicted the accepted idea that only the free acid toxins, such as DTX-1...
Two novel water-soluble sulfated DSP toxin derivatives 4 and 5, are reported from the benthic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum maculosum. Their occurrence supports the idea that all DSP toxin-producing Prorocentrum species biosynthesize such compounds as a means of toxin storage, and perhaps as a means of eventually exporting them from the cell.
