Abstract
A new ciguatoxin congener, ciguatoxin-4A (CTX4A), was isolated from cu ltures of marine dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus toxicus, and its structu re was elucidated to be 52-epiciguatoxin-4B on the basis of spectrosco pic data. Chromatographic and spectral comparisons indicated that CTX4 A was identical with a structurally unelucidated congener known as sca ritoxin or SG1.
