Abstract

Saxitoxin, a notably potent neurotoxin produced by Harmful Algal Blooms, often associated with “red tides, ” presents a significant environmental challenge. This chapter delves into the complex nature of Saxitoxin compounds, focusing on their biosynthesis and genetic underpinnings from an omics perspective. It also examines the latest developments in diagnostic techniques for detecting this biotoxin and reviews the regulatory and sanitary standards within the marine and food industries. Additionally, this chapter explores Saxitoxin’s potential therapeutic applications, particularly in ophthalmology, positioning it alongside botulinum toxin as one of the most extensively researched biotoxins. This comprehensive overview aims to encapsulate the latest scientific advancements and diverse interests surrounding Saxitoxin compounds.
