Common NameFumonisin B4
DescriptionFumonisin B4 is a member of the fumonisin chemical class, which comprises a group of mycotoxins produced by certain fungi, particularly Fusarium species. Its chemical structure features a long-chain fatty acid moiety and a unique tricarballylic acid backbone, which is characteristic of fumonisins. Fumonisin B4 is involved in various biochemical pathways, including its interaction with human serum albumin, as demonstrated in studies examining the toxic impacts of fumonisins on zebrafish embryos (PMID:37238625 ). Additionally, the production of fumonisin B4 can be influenced by metabolic factors such as lactate and starch, indicating its role in fungal secondary metabolism (PMID:20003296 ). Genetic studies have shown that deletion mutants in the fumonisin biosynthetic pathway can lead to the production of homologues of fumonisin B4 that lack certain functional groups, further elucidating its structural characteristics and biosynthetic origins (PMID:17147424 ). This underscores the complexity of its synthesis and the biological processes in which it is involved, highlighting its significance within the broader context of mycotoxin research.
