Domoic acid (DA) is a kainic acid analog neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).[1] It is produced by algae and accumulates in shellfish, sardines, and anchovies. When sea lions, otters, cetaceans, humans etc., then eat contaminated animals poisoning may result. Exposure to the biotoxin affects the brain, causing seizures, and possibly death.[2]

History
There has been little use of domoic acid throughout history except for in Japan, where it has been used as an anthelmintic for centuries. Domoic acid was first isolated in 1959 from a species of red algae, Chondria armata, in Japan; commonly referred to as “doumoi” or “hanyanagi”. Poisonings in history have been rare, or undocumented; however, it is thought that the increase in human activates is resulting in an increasing frequency of toxic algal blooms along coastlines in recent years. Consequently, poisonings have been affecting sea animal, birds, and humans.[3]
It has been speculated that the story in Exodus, from the Bible, of Moses turning the Nile into blood, may have been attributed to a red algal bloom that produced domoic acid. [4]
In 1961, seabirds attacked the Santa Cruz and Capitola areas in California, and though it was never confirmed, they were thought to be under the influence of domoic acid.[5]
In 1987, on Prince Edward Island, Canada, there was a shellfish poisoning resulting in 3 deaths. Blue mussels (Mytulis edulis) contaminated with domoic acid were blamed.[6]
An incident in which domoic acid may have been involved took place on June 22, 2006, when a California brown pelican flew through the windshield of a car on the Pacific Coast Highway.[7]
Chemistry
Synthesis of Domoic Acid as described by Jonathan Clayden, Benjamin Read and Katherine R. Hebditch, in their article Chemistry of domoic acid, isodomoic acids, and their analogues
[8]
General
Domoic acid is a structural analog of kainic acid and proline. Ohfune and Tomita, who wanted to investigate its absolute stereochemistry, were the first and only to synthesize domoic acid in 1982. [9]
Biosynthesis
In 1999, using 13C- and 14C-labelled precursors, the biosynthesis of domoic acid in the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia was examined. After addition of [1,2-13C2]-acetate, NMR spectroscopy showed enrichment of every carbon in domoic acid. This enrichment was consistent with two biosynthetic pathways. The labeling pattern determined that domoic acid can be biosynthesized by an isoprenoid intermediate in combination with a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate.[10]
Synthesis
Using intermediates 5 and 6, a Diels-Alder reaction produced a bicyclic compound (7). 7 then underwent ozonolysis to open the six-membered ring leading to selenide (8). 8 was then deselenated to form 9 (E-9 and Z-9), lastly leading to the formation of (-) domoic acid. [11]
Mechanism of Action
The effects of domoic acid have been attributed to several mechanisms, but the one of concern is through glutamate receptors. Domoic acid is an excitatory amino acid analogue of glutamate; a neurotransmitter in the brain that activates glutamate receptors. Domoic acid has a very strong affinity for these receptors, which results in excitotoxicity initiated by an integrative action on ionotropic glutamate receptors at both sides of the synapse blocking the channel from rapid desensitization. In addition there is a synergistic effect with endogenous glutamate and N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor agonists that contribute to the excitotoxicity.
In the brain, domoic acid especially damages the hippocampus and amygdaloid nucleus. It damages the neurons by activating AMPA and kainate receptors, causing an influx of calcium. Although calcium flowing into cells is normal, the uncontrolled increase of calcium causes the cells to degenerate. Because the hippocampus may be severely damaged, short-term memory loss occurs. It may also cause kidney damage – even at levels considered safe for human consumption, a new study in mice has revealed. The kidney is affected at a hundred times lower than the concentration allowed under FDA regulations.[12][13]

Toxicology
Domoic acid producing algal blooms are associated with the phenomenon of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Domoic acid can bioaccumulate in marine organisms such as shellfish, anchovies, and sardines that feed on the phytoplankton known to produce this toxin. It can accumulate in high concentrations in the tissues of these plankton feeders when the toxic phytoplankton are high in concentration in the surrounding waters. Domoic acid is a neurotoxin that inhibits neurochemical processes, causing short-term memory loss, brain damage, and, in severe cases, death in humans. In marine mammals, domoic acid typically causes seizures and tremors.
Studies have shown that there are no symptomatic effects in humans at levels of 0.5mg/kg of body weight. In the 1987 domoic acid poisoning on Prince Edward Island concentrations ranging from 0.31-1.28mg/g of muscle tissue were noted in people that became ill (three of which died).Dangerous levels of domoic acid have been calculated based on cases such as the one on Prince Edward island, however the exact LD50 for humans is unknown; for mice the LD50 is 3.6mg/kg.[15]
New research has found that domoic acid is heat resistant and very stable toxin, which can damage kidneys at concentrations that are 100 times lower than what causes neurological effects.[16]
Diagnosis and Prevention
In order to be diagnosed and treated if poisoned, domoic acid must first be detected. Methods such as ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), or probe development with PCR (polymerase chain reaction) may be used.[17]
There is no known antidote available for domoic acid therefore if poisoning occurs, it is advised to go quickly to a hospital. It is important to note that cooking or freezing affected fish or shellfish tissue that are contaminated with domoic acid does not lessen the toxicity.[18]
As a public health concern, the concentration of domoic acid in shellfish and shellfish parts at point of sale should not exceed the current permissible limit of 20mg/g tissue. In addition during processing shellfish, it is important to pay attention to environmental condition factors.[19]
Pop Culture
On August 18, 1961, in Capitola and Santa Cruz, California there was an invasion of what people described as chaotic seabirds. These birds were believed to be under the influence of domoic acid, and it inspired a scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s feature film The Birds (1963).[20]
In addition domoic acid was used to poison a witness in the TV series Elementary, episode The Red Team.
