Fumonisin B1 belongs to the family of toxins known as fumonisins. It is produced by several species of Fusarium molds, primarily by Fusarium verticillioide. It is one of the major mycotoxin contaminant in corn and corn-based foods. Furthermore it is hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic. Synonyms: FB1 …

Fumonisin B1 is a mycotoxin found in the fungus Fusarium moniliforme. This toxin can also be obtained from corn infected with the same fungus. Fumonisin B1 shares similarities with sphingosine and okadaic acid (OA). Synonyms: …

Fumonisin B1 is a neurotoxin and a phytotoxin. A cell-permeable mycotoxin that inhibits sphingolipid biosynthesis in rat kidney and in liver microsomes by inhibition of sphingosine N-acyltransferase (ceramide synthase) (IC50 = 100 nM). Cellular effects also appear to be induced by micromolar levels…
