Moniliformin

Description:

Moniliformin is a mycotoxin produced by certain species of fungi, particularly those in the Fusarium genus. It is characterized by its structure as a cyclic peptide and is known for its potential toxicity to animals and humans. Moniliformin is primarily associated with contaminated agricultural products, particularly grains, and can pose significant health risks when ingested. The substance exhibits a range of biological activities, including cardiotoxicity, which can lead to various health issues such as heart damage and metabolic disturbances. Its mechanism of action involves interference with cellular energy metabolism, particularly affecting mitochondrial function. Moniliformin is also notable for its stability under various environmental conditions, making it a persistent contaminant in affected food supplies. Due to its toxicological profile, monitoring and regulation of moniliformin levels in food products are crucial to ensure food safety and protect public health.
