BETA-ZEARALENOL Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

β-Zearalenol is a hepatic metabolite of zearalenone , a mycotoxin produced by fungi in food and animal feeds. It is a less potent agonist of estrogen receptors than the parent compound. However, β-zearalenol has pronounced effects on uterotropic activity and sperm acrosome reaction.

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Reactant involved in biological studies including:• ;Synthesis of amino glycoside nucleotides1• ;Enzymatic synthesis of glucuronides of zearalenone2• ;Derivatization of Zearalenone3,4,5

Uses

β-Zearalenol is a mycotoxin produced by several species of Fusarium. β-Zearalenol exhibits pronounced estrogenic activity, like other zearalenones. Contamination of grains by Fusarium species, notably maize, gives rise to high levels of zearalenol and is regarded as an important food quality issue for both human and animal health.

Uses

The more active Zearalenone (Z270500) metabolite.

Definition

ChEBI: Beta-Zearalenol is a macrolide.
