Experimental Basis for the High Oral Toxicity of Dinophysistoxin 1: A Comparative Study of DSP

Okadaic acid (OA) and its analogues, dinophysistoxin 1 (DTX1) and dinophysistoxin 2 (DTX2), are lipophilic and heat-stable marine toxins produced by dinoflagellates, which can accumulate in filter-feeding bivalves.
