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

Applied and environmental microbiology, 71(1), 114-122 (2005-01-11)
Highly respirable particles (diameter, <1 microm) constitute the majority of particulate matter found in indoor air. It is hypothesized that these particles serve as carriers for toxic compounds, specifically the compounds produced by molds in water-damaged buildings. The presence of

We compared the efficiency of some commercially available products and methods used for remediation of mould-contaminated building materials. Samples of gypsum board and pinewood were artificially contaminated with toxin-producing isolates of Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor, respectively, then, ten different

Journal - Association of Official Analytical Chemists, 70(1), 132-140 (1987-01-01)
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

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
