Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that has been found in F. moniliforme. It inhibits ceramide synthase (IC50 = 0.1 µM for the rat liver enzyme). FB1 induces DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in CV-1 cells when used at concentrations of 5 and 25 µM, respectively. It is cytotoxic to primary rat hepatocytes and induces...

Description: Fumonisin B1 (Fumonisin-B1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium oxysporum that is widely present in crops, contaminating them and posing a significant food safety hazard.Fumonisin B1 is structurally a sphingosine and sphingomyelin analog, and inhibits the biosynthesis of complex sphingolipids through...

A mycotoxin isolated from Fusarium moniliforme. This compound induces apoptosis in rat and monkey kidney cells.

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...
