Antineoplastic potential of mycotoxins

Computer-aided predictions of potential antineoplastic agents

Neoplastic disorders are one of the most widely spread diseases over the world. There are more than 1 million new cases of cancer registered in the world every year. Therefore, searching for new potential antineoplastic agents is very important task. Computer-aided approaches are widely used for this purpose. To find new agents possessing the required activities, we used a computer program PASS...

Biological action of mycotoxins.

Mycotoxins are ubiquitous, mold-produced toxins that contaminate a wide variety of foods and feeds. Ingestion of mycotoxins cause a range of toxic responses, from acute toxicity to long-term or chronic health disorders. Some mycotoxins have caused outbreaks of human toxicoses, and at least one mycotoxin, aflatoxin B1, is a presumed human hepatocarcinogen. As part of a comprehensive effort to cu...
