General description

Alternariol belongs to the dibenzo-pyrones chemical group. It is a mycotoxin present in indoor air, soil and plants.

Application

Alternariol from Alternaria sp. may be used as a calibration standard in reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-spectrum analysis. It may also be used to spike wholemeal wheat flour for wet baking studies

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alternaria mycotoxins are generally associated with undried food grains post-harvest. The disease caused by Alternaria mycotoxin results in a discolored halo in fruits and spotting in leaves. Alternariol (AOH) is cytotoxic and fetotoxic to microbes and mammalian cells. AOH displays inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and has estrogenic functionality.
