Toxicology

<p>Applications Fumitremorgin C is a tremorgenic mycotoxin isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus. Recent research has determined fumitremorgin C as a potent inhibitor of the breast cancer resistance protein BCRP/ABCG2 multidrug transporter.<br>References Allen, J.D., et al.: Mol. Cancer.

<p>Applications A metabolite of Aflatoxin B1; a hepatocarcinogen in many animal models and probably a human carcinogen. It is produced by the predominant forms of cytochrome P 450 enzymes responsible for the biotransformation of AFB1. It shows potential predictive value as a marker for exposure and risk of dietary aflatoxins.Environmental contaminants; Food contaminants<br> Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package<br>References Mykkaenen, H., et al.: Int.
