Dampness in buildings has been linked to adverse health effects, but the specific causative agents are unknown. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by molds and toxic to higher vertebrates. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to demonstrate the presence

A general, sensitive gas chromatographic/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometric (GC/NICIMS) method of analysis was developed for the detection and quantitation of several polar, thermally labile, toxic macrocyclic trichothecenes. The procedure involves the conversion of the molecules to their corresponding

The pharmacokinetics and renal excretion of a trichothecene mycotoxin, verrucarol, were studied in six mongrel dogs following IV administration (0.4 mg kg-1). The fraction of verrucarol excreted intact in the urine ranged from 0.9% to 2.7% of the administered dose.

Verrucarol is a simple trichothecene which is structurally related to T-2 and HT-2 toxins. Several macrocyclic trichothecenes which are ester derivatives of verrucarol possess antitumor activity. The pharmacokinetics of verrucarol has been studied in eight dogs following iv and oral

Isoverrucarol (3,15-dihydroxy-12,13-epoxy-trichothec-9-ene) was isolated and purified from wheat cultures of a toxic strain of Fusarium oxysporum CJS-12. The toxin was characterized by thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Isoverrucarol caused toxic effects in
