Synthesis of 7,7,8-trideuteriated trichothecenes
نویسنده
چکیده
Trideuteriated trichothecenes can be generated from diacetoxyscirpenol by a reaction sequence involving acetylation, epoxide deoxygenation, allylic oxidation, deuterium exchange, epoxidation, and reduction.

Inhibition of protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes trichodermol, diacetoxyscirpenol and verrucarin A. Reversibility of the effects.
Inhibition of protein synthesis by trichodermol, diacetoxyscirpenol and verrucarin A in cells and spheroplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Inhibition was reversible for trichodermol and diacetoxyscirpenol, both drugs being removed from their target site(s) by washing, but was reversible for verrucarin A. These results are interpreted in relation to variations in chemical struc...
متن کاملTrichothecenes in Cereal Grains
Trichothecenes are sesquiterpenoid mycotoxins associated with fusarium head blight (FHB) of cereals, with worldwide economic and health impacts. While various management strategies have been proposed to reduce the mycotoxin risk, breeding towards FHB-resistance appears to be the most effective means to manage the disease, and reduce trichothecene contamination of cereal-based food products. Thi...
متن کاملUDP-Glucosyltransferases from Rice, Brachypodium, and Barley: Substrate Specificities and Synthesis of Type A and B Trichothecene-3-O-β-d-glucosides
Trichothecene toxins are confirmed or suspected virulence factors of various plant-pathogenic Fusarium species. Plants can detoxify these to a variable extent by glucosylation, a reaction catalyzed by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs). Due to the unavailability of analytical standards for many trichothecene-glucoconjugates, information on such compounds is limited. Here, the previously identified...
متن کاملProduction of volatile sesquiterpenes by Fusarium sambucinum strains with different abilities to synthesize trichothecenes.
Twenty-five strains of Fusarium sambucinum grown on wheat kernels were examined for trichothecene production and the synthesis of volatile sesquiterpenes. The volatiles were purged with air and collected on Tenax traps. Adsorbed compounds were eluted from the traps and injected into a gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer. Ten strains isolated from potato tubers produced high amoun...
متن کاملComparison of anorectic potencies of the trichothecenes T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin and satratoxin G to the ipecac alkaloid emetine
Trichothecene mycotoxins, potent translational inhibitors that are associated with human food poisonings and damp-building illnesses, are of considerable concern to animal and human health. Food refusal is a hallmark of exposure of experimental animals to deoxynivalenol (DON) and other Type B trichothecenes but less is known about the anorectic effects of foodborne Type A trichothecenes (e.g., ...
