t​2 toxin

T-2 Toxin (T-2 Mycotoxin) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by various Fusarium species in feed and grains, which is highly toxic to reproduction and induces a variety of cardiovascular toxicities.T-2 Toxin is an inhibitor of peptidyl transferase (60s ribosomal subunit) binding and protein synthesis. T-2 Toxin is an inhibitor of peptidyl transferase (60s ribosomal subunit) binding and protein synthesis, induces TM4 cell dysfunction via ROS-induced apoptosis, inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, and increases hepatic lipid peroxidation levels.

HT-2 Toxin, a deacetylated metabolite of T-2 toxin, impairs protein synthesis and hinders cell proliferation in plants.

T- 2 Tetraol is a T-2 toxin metabolite, and also a trichothecene mycotoxin, with less toxicity and is unable to induce apoptosis.

Trypacidin is a fungal metabolite originally isolated fromA. fumigatus.1It is active againstB. subtilisandM. bovis(MICs = 12.5 and 1.25 μg/ml, respectively), as well asT. cruziandT. gondii(MICs = 5-10 and 10-20 μg/ml, respectively).1,2It reduces viability and induces lysis of A549 human lung cancer cells (IC50s = 7.4 μM for both).3Trypacidin increases survival in a mouse model ofT. gondiiinfection when administered in six doses of 12.5 mg/kg each.1 1.Balan, J., Ebringer, L., Nemec, P., et al.Antiprotozoal antibiotics.
