ABSTRACT
Toxins were extracted from the xanthid crab Atergatis floridus inhabiting Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, and subjected to several types of chromatography, resulting in separation into gonyautoxin and saxitoxin fractions. Thin-layer chromatographic and electrophoretic analyses showed that the gonyautoxin fraction was composed of gonyautoxins 1-4, along with some unknown compounds. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated that the gonyautoxin fraction gave rise to the C9-base when alkali-hydrolyzed, indicating that this fraction contained a tetrodotoxin-like compound possessing the quinazoline skeleton specific to tetrodotoxin. The saxitoxin fraction consisted of neosaxitoxin, saxitoxin and two unknown compounds.
