Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeauvericin
DescriptionBeauvericin is a mycotoxin belonging to the class of secondary metabolites produced primarily by fungi of the genus Fusarium, as well as by entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea. This compound has garnered attention due to its frequent detection in food and feed, raising significant concerns regarding its toxicological risks for human and animal health, a concept encapsulated in the One Health approach (PMID:41005507 ). Experimental studies have highlighted its toxic effects, including disruptions in cell cycle progression, such as the G2/M transition during mouse oocyte maturation (PMID:40840853 ). Additionally, beauvericin has been linked to reductions in Fusarium biomass and associated mycotoxins, indicating its potential role in the ecological dynamics of fungal contamination (PMID:40999249 ). Its insecticidal properties have also been explored, suggesting potential applications as a natural pesticide against agricultural pests like Leptinotarsa decemlineata (PMID:40937573 ). Overall, beauvericin represents a complex interplay of chemical properties and biological impacts, underscoring the need for further research into its safety and environmental implications (PMID:41005507 ).
