Biological activity
Nivalenol is a type B trichloroethylene toxin (B trichotecenes toxins) produced by Fusarium graminearum (Fusarium graminearum), which is a fungal metabolite present in agricultural products. Nivalenol induce cell death through caspase-dependent mechanisms and intrinsic apoptotic (apoptotic) pathways. Nivalenol affects the immune system, causes vomiting, growth retardation, reproductive disorders and has hematotoxic/myelotoxic effects.
Target
Caspase
