The Chemistry of Mycotoxins [electronic resource] / by Stefan Bräse, Franziska Gläser, Carsten Kramer, Stephanie Lindner, Anna M. Linsenmeier, Kye-Simeon Masters, Anne C. Meister, Bettina M. Ruff, Sabilla Zhong. - XV, 300 p. 269 illus., 37 illus. in color. online resource. - Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products, 97 2191-7043 ; .
Aflatoxins -- Citrinin -- Ergot alkaloids -- Fumonisins -- Ochratoxins -- Trichothecenes -- (Thio)diketopiperazines -- Alternaria metabolites -- Skyrins -- Xanthones -- Cytochalasans -- Peptidic mycotoxins.
The biological activity of mycotoxins ranges from weak and/or sometimes positive effects, such as antibacterial activity (see penicillin derivatives derived from Penicillium strains) to strong mutagenic (e. g. aflatoxins, patulin), carcinogenic (e. g. aflatoxins), teratogenic, neurotoxic (e. g. ochratoxins), nephrotoxic (e. g. fumonisins, citrinin), hepatotoxic, and immunotoxic (e. g. ochratoxins, diketopiperazines) activity. Nowadays, many laboratories around the world are specialized in the detection of mycotoxins in food products and contaminated material found in housing. In this volume, a focus on the most important classes of mycotoxins is provided and their chemistry of the last ten years is discussed. In each Section, the individual biological impact is outlined. Sections are arranged according to mycotoxin classes (e. g. aflatoxins) and/or structural classes (e. g. resorcinyl lactones, diketopiperazines). The biology of mycotoxins is also described.
