Metabolite Identification
Common NameParasiticol
DescriptionParasiticol is a secondary metabolite classified within the chemical class of mycotoxins. This compound has garnered attention in biomedical literature due to its association with toxicological effects and interactions with metabolic enzymes. Specifically, parasiticol, along with other compounds such as 5-methoxysterigmatocystin and versicolorin A, has been shown to form toxic metabolites when incubated with mixed function oxidases, indicating its potential role in biotransformation processes (PMID:4593223 ). Additionally, studies have explored the physical and chemical properties of parasiticol in conjunction with aflatoxins M1 and M2, employing techniques like thin layer chromatography to elucidate its characteristics (PMID:5056224 ). These findings highlight the relevance of parasiticol in understanding the biochemical pathways of mycotoxins and their implications for human health and safety. Further research into its biological effects and mechanisms of action is warranted to fully comprehend the impact of parasiticol and its related compounds in toxicology and pharmacology.
