Total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C
Masahiro Hirama,Tohru Oishi,Hisatoshi Uehara,Masayuki Inoue,Megumi Maruyama,Hiroki Oguri,Masayuki Satake +6 more
TL;DR: A highly convergent strategic approach featuring the chemoselective ring-closing metathesis reaction as a key tactic has enabled the total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C, which will provide a practical supply for further studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C by improved protective group strategy.
TL;DR: An improved total synthesis of CTX3C is reported, and Alteration of the protective group from benzyl ether to 2-naphthylmethyl (NAP) ether drastically increases the yield for final global deprotection and has provided a sufficient amount of sample for further biological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
First- and second-generation total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the full details of studies leading to the total synthesis of ciguatoxin CTX3C, including the formation of O,O-acetal from the right and left wing fragments, conversion from O, O-acetals to O,Sacetals, a radical reaction to cyclize the G ring, a ring-closing metathesis reaction to close the F ring, and final removal of the 2-naphtylmethyl protective groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis-based approach toward direct sandwich immunoassay for ciguatoxin CTX3C.

TL;DR: A direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies specific against both ends of ciguatoxin CTX3C was established to detect CTx3C at the ppb level with no cross-reactivity against other related marine toxins, including brevet toxin A, brevetoxin B, okadaic acid, or maitotoxin.
