Dinogunellin - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dinogunellins are unusual toxic phospholipids found in the roe of some fishes, and is one of the best studied ichthyotoxin.^[1] These phospholipids could be found as a complex with non-toxic proteins like in the cabezon toxin or in the lipostichaerin.^[2]^[3]

Occurrence

Dinogunellins were detected in the mature roe of four fishes: the cabezon or marbled sculpin Scorpaenichthys marmoratus, ^[2] the blennies Stichaeus grigorjewi ^[1]^[3] and Stichaeus nozawae, ^[4] and the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. ^[4]

The presence of dinogunellins has been discarded in the roe of the carp Cyprinus carpio, the sculpin Hemitripterus villosus, the blenny Lumpenus fowleri,^[4] and the lamprey Lapetra japonica.^[5]

Structure

Dinogunellins are unusual phospholipids having a nucleotide instead of the typical glycerol in their structure. They consist of an adenine nucleotide, with a 2-aminosuccinimide attached to the phosphorus moiety and a fatty acid attached to the oxygen from either the C2' or the C3' of the sugar moiety.^[1] The fatty acid chain could be either the eicosapentaenoic acid (Dinogunellin-A and Dinogunellin-B) or the stearidonic acid (Dinogunellin-C and Dinogunellin-D).^[1] In consequence, Dinogunellin-A and Dinogunellin-B have the same molecular formula (C₃₄H₄₉N₈O₉P) and molecular weight (744.8 g/mol), an so do Dinogunellin-C and Dinogunellin-D (C₃₂H₄₇N₈O₉P; 718.7 g/mol).

Pharmacology

When intraperitoneally administered to mice, dinogunellins have a mean lethal dose (LD50) of 25 mg/kg.^[3] Dinogunellins are also orally toxic to mice and guinea pigs and has also deleterious effects on humans.^[6] A few hours after ingestion, humans develop abrupt onset diaphoresis, chills, abdominal pain and cramping, with nausea and vomiting followed by voluminous, non-bloody diarrhea.^[7]

Analysis made on the cabezon toxin showed that its effects start 12 hours after administration and is characterized by several signs such as diarrhea, nasal discharge, and death.^[8] In addition, cabezon toxin showed cytotoxicity on fibroblast in culture.^[8]^[9] Besides, toxin administration causes an increase in white cell number, but with a decrease in lymphocytes associated with the observation of spleen necrosis. ^[9]
