overview | treponin is also called sterigmatocystin. sterigmatocystin (Sterigmatocystin,ST) is a carcinogenic and teratogenic mycotoxin and a synthetic precursor of aflatoxin (Aflatoxin,AFT). Both have similar structures and are composed of difuran ring and oxanthraquinone. ST is a type 2B carcinogen classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is closely related to lung cancer, liver cancer and gastric cancer. |
properties | sterigretin (Sterigmatocys for short ST) is a heterocyclic compound with strong liver and kidney toxins, which can induce a variety of tumors. The high incidence of liver cancer in some parts of South Africa may be related to ST. Trichosycetin is, can cause cholangiocarcinoma and liver cancer, mutagenicity, but the frequency of contamination of food is low. ST can also be converted into aflatoxin, a more intense carcinogen. ST can also cause some animal diseases. |
Biological activity | Sterigmatocystine is the precursor of aflatoxin and a mycotic produced by Aspergillus versicolor. Sterigmatocystine is an inhibitor of G1 phase and DNA synthesis and is used to inhibit p21 activity. Sterigmatocystine has teratogenic and carcinogenic effects on animal development. |
