Ciguatera

Ciguatoxin. The toxin was isolated from moray eels and purified to crystals by Scheuer s group (1). Structural determination of the toxin by x-ray or NMR analyses was unsuccessful due to the unsuitability of the crystals and due to the extremely small amount of the sample. The toxin was presumed to have a molecular formula of C Hg NO from HRFAB-MS data (MH+, 1111.5570) and to have six hydroxyls, five methyls, and five double bonds in the molecule (2). The number of unsaturations (18 including the five double bonds) and the abundance of oxygen atoms in the molecule point to a polyether nature of the toxin. The toxin, or a closely related toxin if not identical, is believed to be the principal toxin in ciguatera. Ciguatoxin was separable on an alumina column into two interconvertible entities presumably differing only in polarity (J). [Pg.120]

Scaritoxin. During a survey of ciguatera intoxication in the Gambier Islands, Bagnis et al. observed that patients poisoned by parrotfish (Scaridae) suffered a longer period than conventional ciguatera symptoms, and postulated the presence of a... [Pg.120]

Local regulations controlling the harvest and sales of seafood may be more specific. For example, based on ciguatera testing in the 1980s, Dade County, Florida, has completely banned the sale of barracuda within the county (Lawrence et al., 1980). [Pg.180]

Human disease associated with eating fish not previously identified with a particular toxin has also been reported. One example is saxitoxin poisoning associated with eating pulfer fish caught in Florida. Another example involves CFP. Ciguatera has not historically been associated with cold-water fish, but Dinubile and Hokama (1995) reported a case of CFP in a woman who had eaten farm-raised salmon. [Pg.183]
