Journal ArticleDOI
The Genoa 2005 outbreak. Determination of putative palytoxin in Mediterranean Ostreopsis ovata by a new liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method.
Patrizia Ciminiello,Carmela Dell'Aversano,Ernesto Fattorusso,Martino Forino,G. Silvana Magno,Luciana Tartaglione,Claudio Grillo,Nunzia Melchiorre +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that putative palytoxin was the causative agent responsible for patients' symptoms and demonstrated for the first time the presence of such a toxin in Italian waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putative palytoxin and its new analogue, ovatoxin-a, in Ostreopsis ovata collected along the ligurian coasts during the 2006 toxic outbreak
Patrizia Ciminiello,Carmela Dell'Aversano,Ernesto Fattorusso,Martino Forino,Luciana Tartaglione,Claudio Grillo,Nunzia Melchiorre +6 more
TL;DR: This article reports on the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry investigation of plankton samples collected in the summer of 2006 along the Ligurian coasts, coinciding with a massive bloom of the tropical microalga Ostreopsis ovata, and identifies a new palytoxin-like compound never reported so far, which is named ovatoxin-a.
Book
Modern Alkaloids : Structure, Isolation, Synthesis and Biology
TL;DR: The structure and pharmacological properties of Alkaloid-like Compounds and their applications in Clinical Use or in Clinical Trials are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of melanins and melanogenesis—IV : On some natural melanins
TL;DR: A few melanins from the plant kingdom have also been taken into consideration, such as ustilago melanin, sunflower seed and watermelon seed melanins as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex palytoxin-like profile of Ostreopsis ovata. Identification of four new ovatoxins by high-resolution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry
Patrizia Ciminiello,Carmela Dell'Aversano,Emma Dello Iacovo,Ernesto Fattorusso,Martino Forino,Laura Grauso,Luciana Tartaglione,Franca Guerrini,Rossella Pistocchi +8 more
TL;DR: A quantitative study of the O. ovata culture extract indicated that the whole of the new ovatoxins represents about 46% of the total toxin content and, thus, their presence has to be taken into account when LC/MS-based monitoring programs of either plankton or contaminated seafood are carried out.
