Application Notes:
Aflatoxin B1 (1162-65-8) is a highly toxic, carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus flavus.1 In the liver Aflatoxin B1 is converted to an epoxide (aflatoxin B1-8,9-epoxide) which is highly reactive and forms conjugates with DNA, RNA, thiols, and proteins.2 Aflatoxin B1 reactive metabolites drive oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis.3 Warning: TOXIC. Avoid exposure by all routes.
