DescriptionBrevetoxins are cyclic polyether compounds produced naturally by a species of dinoflagellates (Karenia brevis). They are neurotoxins that bind to voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to disruption of normal neurological processes and causing the illness clinically described as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning.
