suggested research topic
[edit]Because acetylcysteine is very reactive with aldehydes to form water soluble compounds and some of the R groups on Brevetoxin are aldehydes I suggest that research be done on the effectiveness of acetylcysteine on decreasing the toxicity of Brevetoxin. Besides improving renal elimination, it might also alter the ability of the toxin to pass the blood brain barrier.
Of course I might be wrong, it would take experimentation to find out.

Nomenclature?

Nice body of biol text added, now for next step
[edit]The two closing sections were interesting additions to the article, and provide a wealth of material for editorial development. Could someone with an interest in these areas take these long sections to their next stage? First, each section needs to be condensed. Give the length of the article, there is far too much detail on these subjects, interesting though they are. Second (and not necessarily chronologically second), further sources need to be identified, specifically, secondary sources from review, monograph, and other high quality venues (books, Natural Product Reports, etc.) so that the content from the small set of primary sources currently appearing can be tested for the notability and generality of the content and opinions derived from them. If there are academic readers of this, this end could be achieved via an academic student project executed in sandbox, with placement here after vetting in Talk. In any case, this body of text is a nice starting point for editing, for an individual with interest and some training. Tags are placed to call broader attention to this, to remain until these sections are in proportion to the rest of article, in terms of detail and length. Cheers.
