Fumonisin B2 (FB2) is a mycotoxin that has been found in F. moniliforme. It is cytotoxic against a panel of seven rat hepatoma cell lines (IC50s = 3-50 µg/ml), as well as MDCK cells (IC50 = 2 µg/ml). FB2 (125-1,000 µM) is also cytotoxic to primary rat hepatocytes and induces hepatocyte nodule formation, a marker of...

A Mycotoxin isolated from Fusarium moniliforme. This compound is an inhibitor of the enzyme spingosine acyltransferase.

Description: Fumonisin B2 is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium moniliforme in various grains. It also is a potent inhibitor of sphingosine N-acyltransferase (ceramide synthase). Which disrupts de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. Target: Others. Smiles:...

Fumonisin is a group of toxins (B1 or FB1, B2 or FB2, which are equally toxic, and B3 or FB3, which is relatively nontoxic) which are produced by fungi (Fusarium moniliforme and F. proliferatum) that causes equine leukoencephalomalacia, a disease of the central nervous system of equines and is associated with the...
