摘要: Brevetoxin (PbTx) metabolism was examined in the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) following exposure to a Karenia brevis red tide, by using LC/MS(/MS) and cytotoxicity assay. Metabolites observed field-exposed oysters were confirmed exposed K. cultures laboratory. Previously, we identified cysteine conjugate its sulfoxide (MH+: m/z 1018 1034) as metabolites of brevetoxin congener PbTx-2. In present study, found with A-type backbone structure 990 1006), probable derivatives PbTx-1. We also glycine-cysteine–PbTx (m/z 1047 1075), γ-glutamyl-cysteine–PbTx 1147), glutathione–PbTx 1176 1204) conjugates A- B-type structures. Amino acid–PbTx react fatty acids through amide linkage form series acid–amino conjugates. These acid are major contributors composite cytototoxic responses obtained extracts brevetoxin-contaminated oysters. Other consistent hydrolytic ring-opening oxidation/reduction reactions.
