Trichothecene Mycotoxins
The trichothecenes are a very large family of chemically related toxins produced by various species of Fusarium, Myrotecium, Trichoderma, Cephalosporium, Verticimonosporium, and Stachybotrys. The distinguishing chemical feature of trichothecenes is the presence of a trichothecene ring, which contains an olefinic bond at C-9, 10; and an epoxide group at C-12, 12. This family of mycotoxins causes multiorgan effects including emesis and diarrhea, weight loss, nervous disorders, cardiovascular alterations, immunodepression, hemostatic derangements, skin toxicity, decreased reproductive capacity, and bone marrow damage.
This study concentrate on T-2 mycotoxin, a highly toxic trichothecene that, together with some closely related compounds, has been the causative agent of a number of illnesses in humans and domestic animals. During the 1970s and 1980s, the trichothecene mycotoxins gained some notoriety as putative biological warfare agents when they were implicated in “yellow rain” attacks in Southeast Asia.
