Product Information

• Name: Ochratoxin A
• Synonyms: N-[[(3R)-5-Chloro-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxo-1H-2-benzopyran-7-yl]carbonyl]-L-phenylalanine;(-)-N-[(5-Chloro-8-hydroxy-3-m ethyl-1-oxo-7-isochromanyl)carbonyl]-3-phenylalanine;(R)-N-[(5-Chloro-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxo-1H-benzo[c]
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin that is found in cereals and cereal products. It can be detected by an analytical method that utilizes high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Ochratoxin A has been implicated in the development of bowel diseases and has also been shown to inhibit catalase, peroxidase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities. It also inhibits DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, and mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy production. There is evidence that ochratoxin A may be genotoxic by inhibiting the repair of DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The optimum concentration for ochratoxin A is between 0.1 and 1 micrograms per liter.br>Ochratoxin A is metabolized in plants via the phenylalanine pathway. This leads to increased levels of phenylalanine and p-hydroxybenzoic acid in the plant's tissues.br>
