Metabolic Pathways of T-2 Toxin

Abstract: Among the naturally-occurring trichothecenes found in food and feed, T-2 toxin is the most potent and toxic mycotoxin. After ingestion of T-2 toxin into the organism, it is processed and eliminated. Some metabolites of this trichothecene are equally toxic or slightly more toxic than T-2 itself, and therefore, the metabolic fate of T-2 toxin has been of great concern. The main reactions in trichothecene metabolism are hydrolysis, hydroxylation and deep oxidation. Typical metabolites of T-2 toxin in an organism … Show more

“…Trichothecenes, such as 2-T toxin, HT-2 toxin, deoxinivalenol or nivalenol, are very large family of chemically related sesquiterpenic mycotoxins produced by various species of Fusarium , Myrothecium , Trichoderma , Trichothecium , Cephalosporium , Verticimonosporium and Stachybotrys [15,16]. …”

“…Deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) are ranked among the most frequently encountered mycotoxins [13]. Trichothecenes, such as deoxynivalenol or nivalenol, are a very large family of chemically related sesquiterpenic mycotoxins produced by various species of Fusarium [14]. The aim of this work is (I) to compare the microbial counts and levels of BA and mycotoxins in alfalfa and red clover fodder, (II) to compare the occurrence of microorganisms and the levels of mycotoxins in green fodder and subsequently produced silages, and (III) to assess the effect of additives on the content of natural harmful substances in silages of alfalfa and red clover.…”

“…Most of the terpenes produced by fungi have various biological functions. Terpene include commercially fascinating compounds due to their properties, such as paxilline an indole diterpene, gibberelic acid, a pentacyclic diterpene plant growth hormone and trichothecenes a sesquiterpene mycotoxin [2,3].…”
