J Chromatogr A 2024; 1720:464795. [PMID: 38490144 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
An accurate and efficient method was developed for the determination of azaspiracid shellfish toxins (azaspiracids-1, -2, and -3), neurotoxic shellfish toxins (brevetoxins-2 and -3), diarrhetic shellfish toxins (okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins-1 and -2), and the amnesic shellfish toxin (domoic acid) in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). Lipophilic marine biotoxins (azaspiracids, brevetoxins, and okadaic acid group) were extracted with 0.5 % acetic acid in methanol under heating at 60°C to improve the extraction efficiency of okadaic acid group toxins and then cleaned up with a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge. Domoic acid was extracted with 50 % aqueous methanol and then cleaned up with a graphitized carbon solid-phase extraction cartridge. Lipophilic marine biotoxins and domoic acid were quantified by reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The developed method had insignificant matrix effects for the nine analytes and good recoveries in the range of 79.0 % to 97.6 % at three spiking levels for all analytes except brevetoxin-2 (43.8-49.8 %). The developed method was further validated by analyzing mussel tissue certified reference materials, and good agreement was observed between certified and determined values.

Abstract
Marine biotoxins have been frequently implicated in morbidity and mortality events in numerous species of birds worldwide. Nevertheless, their effects on seabirds have often been overlooked and the associated ecological impact has not been extensively studied. On top of that, the number of published studies confirming by analyses the presence of marine biotoxins from harmful algal blooms (HABs) in seabirds, although having increased in recent years, is still quite low. This review compiles information on studies evidencing the impact of HAB toxins on marine birds, with a special focus on the effects of paralytic and amnesic shellfish toxins (PSTs and ASTs). It is mainly centered on studies in which the presence of PSTs and/or ASTs in seabird samples was demonstrated through analyses. The analytical techniques commonly employed, the tissues selected and the adjustments done in protocols for processing seabird matrixes are summarized. Other topics covered include the role of different vectors in the seabird intoxications, information on clinical signs in birds affected by PSTs and ASTs, and multifactorial causes which could aggravate the syndromes. Close collaboration between seabird experts and marine biotoxins researchers is needed to identify and report the potential involvement of HABs and their toxins in the mortality events. Future studies on the PSTs and ASTs pharmacodynamics, together with the establishment of lethal doses in various seabird species, are also necessary. These studies would aid in the selection of the target organs for toxins analyses and in the postmortem intoxication diagnoses.

Abstract
A highly selective sample cleanup method using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was developed for the enrichment of domoic acid (DA, an amnesic shellfish toxin) from both seawater and shellfish samples. Molecular modelling was firstly applied to screening a suitable functional monomer and optimize the polymer preparation. Theoretical results were in a good agreement with those of the experimental studies. MIP was prepared by precipitation polymerization using 1, 3, 5-pentanetricarboxylic acid and 2-(Trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid as the template molecule and functional monomer, respectively. The morphology and molecular structure of MIP were revealed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The obtained MIP showed high affinity and selectivity for DA with binding site numbers of 0.875 mg g-1 and an average association constant of 0.219 L mg-1 evaluated by adsorption experiments. The developed molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) column achieved satisfied adsorption rate (99.2%) and recovery (71.2%) with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 1.0%, which is more stable and precise than the C18, SAX, and HLB columns. Finally, the determination method for DA in both seawater and shellfish samples was then successfully established and validated using MISPE coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). The method limit of detection was 20 μg L-1 and 50 μg kg-1 for seawater and shellfish, respectively. This study demonstrates that molecular modelling is a useful tool to screening functional monomer and optimize polymer preparation. It provides an innovative polymer for trace DA monitoring in both seawater and shellfish.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is an excitatory neurotoxic amino acid produced by several marine algal species and is the causative agent of amnesic shellfish poisoning. Profound differences in the toxicokinetics of DA have been identified in a wide variety of shellfish. We characterized the toxicokinetics of DA in Dungeness crabs (Metacarcinus magister) after oral and intravascular dosing (IV) using a variety of doses ranging from 0.1 to 20mg/kg. After a 1mg/kg oral dose, DA disappeared from the foregut within 2h and largely accumulated in the hepatopancreas, with hemolymph and other tissues having 100-1000 times lower concentrations. After IV dosing, hemolymph concentrations of DA were unexpectedly high and toxicokinetic analysis indicated the steady-state volume of distribution (Vss) was 123-197 ml/kg, which is well below the hemolymph volume of 350 ml/kg for crabs. This indicated only limited extravascular distribution of DA was occurring after IV injection, which is surprising considering the capacity of the hepatopancreas to sequester DA after oral dosing. Additional studies measured the partitioning of DA in hepatopancreas cellular and subcellular fractions. The subcellular distribution of DA was primarily associated with the S8 fraction and could be filtered through a 30,000 MW cut-off filter, indicating DA was not appreciably bound to macromolecules. Interestingly, very little (<0.4%) of the total hepatopancreas DA tissue content was associated with the cellular fraction isolated after dissociation and separation from tissue fragments. The in vivo and in vitro results led us to hypothesize that DA uptake and distribution is regulated by crustacean orthologs of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporters. We tested this hypothesis by co-exposing crabs to DA and known inhibitors of ABC transporters (verapamil, cyclosporine A and MK-571) and through in vitro studies using isolated hepatopancreas tissue and mixed cell suspensions prepared from hepatopancreas tissue. The in vivo results were inconclusive in that the toxicokinetics of DA was not consistently altered by co-administration of the inhibitors. Two exceptions were MK-571, which significantly increased the total body clearance of DA and co-administration of verapamil, which significantly increased the hepatopancreas tissue content of DA 24h after IV injection. Isolated pieces of hepatopancreas tissue were able to readily absorb DA from incubation media, but mixed cell suspensions did not. The absorption of DA or lack thereof was largely unaffected by co-incubation with verapamil although cell suspensions appeared to accumulate small quantities of DA in the presence of verapamil. Collectively, the results of this study suggest DA accumulates in the extracellular spaces of the hepatopancreas, such as the tubular lumen. Under natural circumstances, crabs feeding on contaminated shellfish would be expected to readily absorb DA, which is then stored and slowly eliminated in urine. If the DA exposure level exceeds the storage capacity of the tissue (as occurred with the 20mg/kg dose), breakthrough occurs resulting in much higher systemic exposure and potential for DA toxicity.

Abstract
Detection of aquatic algal toxins has become critical for the protection of human health. During the last 5 years, techniques such as optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric biosensors or fluorescent-microsphere-based assays have been developed for the detection of aquatic algal toxins, in addition to optimization of existing techniques, to achieve higher sensitivities, specificity, and speed or multidetection. New toxins have also been incorporated in the array of analytical and biological methods. The impact of the former innovation on this field is highlighted by recent changes in legal regulations, with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry becoming the official reference method for marine lipophilic toxins and replacing the mouse bioassay in many countries. This review summarizes the large international effort to provide routine testing laboratories with fast, sensitive, high-throughput, multitoxin, validated methods for the screening of seafood, algae, and water samples.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxic amino acid produced by some strains of phytoplankton, is responsible for the human toxic syndrome amnesic shellfish poisoning. This exocitotoxin results in neuronal degeneration and necrosis in specific regions of the hippocampus. Because DA accumulates mostly in shellfish, causing outbreaks in different countries, screening for DA has been carried out with various assays. Although bioassays and immunoassays have been developed, several liquid chromatographic methods for the determination of DA in different matrices such as shellfish, algae, or seawater have been reported. Additionally, other alternative methods such as capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography have been described. This paper summaries the toxicology, the chemistry, and the developed determination methods of DA.

Abstract
Five major human toxic syndromes caused by the consumption of shellfish contaminated by algal toxins are presented. The increased risks to humans of shellfish toxicity from the prevalence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) may be a consequence of large-scale ecological changes from anthropogenic activities, especially increased eutrophication, marine transport and aquaculture, and global climate change. Improvements in toxin detection methods and increased toxin surveillance programmes are positive developments in limiting human exposure to shellfish toxins.

Abstract
The tunicate Pyura chilensis (Molina, 1782); Phylum Chordata; Subphylum Urochordata; Class Ascidiacea, common local name "piure" or sea squirt; a filter-feeder (plankton and suspended particles) sessile species; may play an important role in monitoring domoic acid (DA) the principal toxic component of Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP). Significant DA concentrations have been determined in tunicate samples, collected during a recent ASP outbreak in Bahía Inglesa, an important scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) farming area. Several infaunal species were tested for the presence of DA, in addition to the usual scallop monitoring programme. DA was found at sub-toxic levels in filtering bivalves such as mussels (Mytilus chilensis), large mussels (Aulacomya ater) and clams (Protothaca thaca) (6.4, 5.4 and 4.7 microg DA/g tissue respectively). Of particular interest was the observation of significant accumulations of toxic Pseudo-nitzschia sp. diatoms in the internal siphon and atrium spaces of the tunicate. Toxin distribution within major tunicate organs was heterogeneous with 8.7-15.5 microg DA/g in edible tissues, 14.9-17.9 microg DA/g in the fecal material and 13.6-32.7 microg DA/g in the gut content. DA was determined by HPLC-UV and confirmed by diode-array detection and LC-MS/MS analysis. This is the first report of the presence of DA in a tunicate that is regularly consumed by coastal populations. These results confirm the need to include these organisms in sanitation programs for marine toxins.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is the principal neurotoxin responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) and is produced, among other species, by marine diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. In this work, a method for the determination of dissolved DA and its isomers present in seawater has been developed, based on a solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks followed by rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. SPE provided sample desalting and 20-fold concentration of dissolved DA, while complete resolution between DA and its isomers was achieved in less than 3 min with rapid resolution chromatography thus providing high sample throughput. Additionally, a simple on-column chromatographic procedure allowed head-column trapping of DA providing 15-fold higher sensitivity. The conditions developed in this work have shown appropriate quality parameters in a within-laboratory validation. The detection limit was 0.02 ng mL(-1) for the whole method, while trueness ranged between 92.1% and 110.6% recovery and precision between 8.4% and 19.0% relative standard deviation. Expanded uncertainty measured was 1.92, 0.23 and 0.03 for 10.0, 1.0 and 0.1 ng mL(-1) DA concentrations, respectively, which demonstrated the accuracy of this method for confirmation and quantification of DA present at very low concentration levels in seawater.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA) is an algal neurotoxin produced by diatoms primarily of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia and is responsible for the human intoxication syndrome known as amnesic shellfish poisoning. A method has been developed to determine DA in seawater and phytoplankton matrices by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for both quantitation and confirmation purposes. Sample extraction and clean-up was achieved on a C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. An acidic condition is critical for retaining hydrophilic DA on the cartridge. Direct injection of SPE eluate for analysis is recommended in order to avoid loss of DA by drying with heat prior to resuspension and injection. DA was quantified using the fragments produced from the protonated DA ion through multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Recoveries exceeded 90% for all seawater samples spiked with DA and approximated 98% of toxin standard added to cultured phytoplankton material. Acceptable reproducibility (ca. 5% or less) was obtained for all intra-day and inter-day samples. The detection limit was 30 pg/ml level with a 20 microl injection volume, which demonstrated the value of this method for not only confirming DA production by minimally toxic phytoplankton species, but also for investigating the potentially important role of dissolved DA in marine food webs.

Abstract
Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) is a potentially lethal human toxic syndrome which is caused by domoic acid (DA) that originates in marine phytoplankton belonging to the Pseudonitzschia genus. A confirmatory and sensitive procedure has been developed and validated for the determination of DA in shellfish. The proposed method includes pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) with methanol/acetone (9:1), florisil clean-up purification inside the PLE extraction cell and detection by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to electrospray ionization in positive mode tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS). Comparison of ionization sources (ESI, atmospheric pressure ionization (APCI) atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) and combined APCI/APPI) were carried out in order to improve the analytical signal. The main parameters affecting the performance of the different ionization sources and PLE parameters were previously optimised using statistical design of experiments (DOE). Linear calibrations were obtained using mussel tissue extracts 0.05-5 microg DA/ml (R2>0.999). The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) of the method were 0.2 and 0.5 microg/g respectively and recoveries ranged from 81 to 95%. This method was successfully applied to determine DA levels in 46 shellfish samples collected from Valencian (Spain) supermarkets, showing high sample throughput.

Abstract
We prepared molecularly imprinted polymers for an amnesic shellfish poison, domoic acid. To prepare the polymer, we tested several commercial aromatic dicarboxylic compounds such as isomers of phthalic acid for templates of molecularly imprinted polymers. The highest selective recognition ability of the polymer for domoic acid in the tested compounds was found when o-phthalic acid was used as the template. The ability was due to the acidity of the carboxylic acids in the domoic acid and the similarity of the shape around the carboxylic acids of domoic acid and the templates. The effective chromatographic separation of domoic acid in the extract from blue mussels was achieved with a LC column packed with the fragment imprinted polymer using o-phthalic acid as the template. This polymer can be utilized for a clean up procedure of domoic acid in toxic shellfish.

Abstract
The adsorption of an anti-domoic acid single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragment onto a range of mesoporous silicate supports was investigated. The scFv fragment adsorbed to all materials investigated, and pI had an apparently large effect on coating, with the greatest-and fastest-adsorption found on the most negatively charged silicates. Maximal coating levels attainable did not reflect the pore diameters of the materials. The immobilized antibody was functional on all materials and bound its antigen, a naturally occurring neurotoxin produced by shellfish, in a rapidly saturating manner that suggested the antibody adsorbed in a multilayer on the mesoporous particles. The antigen:antibody ratio decreased from 1:1.3 to <1:10 with increasing concentration of immobilized antibody, and the immobilized scFv exhibited no detectable reduction in domoic acid binding over a 42-day incubation period.
