See: http://www.aims.gov.au/arnat/arnat-0005.htm Domoic acid (DA), was originally isolated from the macroscopic red alga Chondria armata, locally known in Japan as domoi, it being the antihelminthic agent in a long used traditional medicine. It was later identified as the cause of an unusual shellfish poisoning syndrome, amnesic shellfish poisoning, that first occurred on Prince Edward Island in Canada. The source of the toxin was the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia (previously Nitzschia) pungens forma multiseries. Other DA producing diatoms include Pseudo-nitzschia seriata, P.multiseries, P. australis, P. pseudodelicatissima, P.delicatissima, and P. turgidula. Domoic acid (MW=311; C15H21NO6) is a tricarboxylic acid similar to the glutamate receptor agonist kainic acid, being cyclised analogues of L-glutamate. It is only mildly toxic to mammals, with an LD50 to mice (intra-peritoneally) of 3.6 mg / kg. It is polar making it soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. The three carboxylic acids have pKa's of 2.1, 3.7 and 5.0 with the amino group in the pentameric ring having a pKa of 9.8. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 0 min (2004-06-15 22:45:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ili: KISELINA CRVENIH ALGI Botany On-Line ... 7, Phycobionta, Division Rhodophyta crvene alge/red algae Slide Show (presnimi/download PDF file), 19, Magnoliophyta, kritosjemenjače II / Magnoliophyta ... hirc.botanic.hr/botanika/botanika-prg.htm - 14k ====================== HABs and Biotoxins: Marine Biotoxins - Domoic Acid Poisoning ...
