How are pectenotoxins transformed in Mesodesma donacium?

Label:chem

Topic
A study explores the biotransformation processes occurring in Mesodesma donacium after the accumulation of pectenotoxins from Dinophysis acuminata.
Answer
Pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2) is transformed into PTX2sa, which is then further transformed into acyl-esters through esterification with various fatty acids. The main esters found are those derived from palmitic acid (C16:0), but other even and odd carbon chain fatty acids are also involved.
