Mycotoxins

Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium. The 100 ppm acetonitrile solution of Zearalenone, a kind of natural estrogen, could be used as standard solution.

The 100 ppm acetonitrile solution of T2 Triol toxin, a kind of type-A trichothecene mycotoxin, could be used as standard solution.

Neosolaniol is a kind of type A trichothecene mycotoxin found in Fusarium.

Ochratoxin B is an analogue of Ochratoxin A. Ochratoxins are mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium.

3-Acetyl-DON is a mycotoxin that has been found in F. graminearum.

A tremorgenic mycotoxin isolated from species of penicillium, acremonium and emericella. It selectively blocks high-conductance ca2+-activated potassium channels and inhibits binding to the cerebellar inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (insp(3)) receptor.

(-)-Altenuene is a toxin isolated from the fungus Alternaria tenuis. It has antioxidant activity and inhibits cholinesterases.

Veratridine, a pentacyclic triterpene acid compound, has been found to be a steroid-derived alkaloid neurotoxin and could be used as a voltage-gated Na+ channel opener.

Aflatoxin G2 is a naturally occuring mycotoxin produced by various species of the mold Aspergillus, which can be found in legumes, corn, soybeans, rice, milk, and cheese.

Verruculogen is a tremorgenic mycotoxin isolated from penicillium verruculosu. It can inhibit the K+ channel activated by ca2+, and is a cell cycle inhibitor that prevents M phase division.

Nivalenol is a trichothecene mycotoxin isolated from Fusarium.

15-Acetoxyscirpenol is a trichothecene mycotoxin isolated from predominantly.

Alternariol monomethyl ether is produced from the media of Alternaria alternata strain 261. Alternariol monomethyl ether, an Alternaria toxin, is a strong mutagen in Escherichia coli strain ND-160. Alternariol monomethyl ether possesses cytotoxic and immunosuppressive properties. It has genotoxic properties and can cause oxidative DNA damage.

Plumieride is isolated from the herb of Himatanthus fallax. It shows strong fungitoxicity against some dermatophytes.

It is a kind of nature type-A trichothecene mycotoxin, could be used as a reference standard in quantitative analysis of food stuffs.

It is a mycotoxin produced by the strain of Nodulisporium hinnuleum. It is a fungal metabolite belonging to the wortmannin and viridin classes and an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. It affects phospholipid signalling and proliferation of swiss 3T3 cells.

It is an acidic 13-membered cyclic hexapeptide-like metabolite with three unusual amino acids. It is a potent mycotoxin produced by the fungus, phomopsis leptostromiformis. It is an important bioprobe for understanding cellular structural proteins. It selectively binds to the dimeric tubulin at the overlap of vinblastine and maytansine, inhibits the formation of the microtubule spindle to block cell division.

It is a potent, water-soluble mycotoxin produced by several species of fusarium. It selectively inhibits mitochondrial oxidization of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate.

It is the less common optical isomer of the mycotoxin, (+)-rugulosin. It is first isolated from myrothecium verrucaria. It is a mycotoxin with antiviral activity.

A tetracycline-like metabolite produced by several species of penicillium. It causes myocardial deterioration, renal tubule necrosis and spleen atrophy. It is a mycotoxin and a potent antibacterial with activity against S. Aureus including MRSA and QRSA strains.
