The aflatoxin producing fungi, Aspergillus spp., are widely spread in nature and have severely contaminated food supplies of humans and animals, resulting in health hazards and even death. Therefore, there is great demand for aflatoxins research to develop suitable methods for their quantification, precise detection and control to ensure the safety of consumers' health. Here, the chemistry and biosynthesis process of the mycotoxins is discussed in brief along with their occurrence, and the health hazards to humans and livestock. This review focuses on resources, production, detection and control measures of aflatoxins to ensure food and feed safety. The review is informative for health-conscious consumers and research experts in the fields. Furthermore, providing knowledge on aflatoxins toxicity will help in ensure food safety and meet the future demands of the increasing population by decreasing the incidence of outbreaks due to aflatoxins [1].

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
To evaluate the rate at which the four main aflatoxins (aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2) are able to cross the luminal membrane of the rat small intestine, a study about intestinal absorption kinetics of these mycotoxins has been made. In situ results obtained showed that the absorption of aflatoxins in rat small intestine is a very fast process that follows first-order kinetics, with an absorption rate constant (ka) of 5.84 +/- 0.05 (aflatoxin B1), 4.06 +/- 0.09 (aflatoxin B2), 2.09 +/- 0.03 (aflatoxin G1) and 1.58 +/- 0.04 (aflatoxin G2) h-1, respectively. Metabolism / Metabolites Aflatoxin G2 ... /is/ the 9,10-dihydro derivative of aflatoxin G1. |

Evidence for Carcinogenicity
Evaluation: There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of naturally occurring mixtures of aflatoxins. ... There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of naturally occurring mixtures of aflatoxins and aflatoxins B1, G1 and M1. Overall evaluation: Naturally occurring aflatoxins are carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). /Naturally occurring aflatoxins/ Aflatoxins: known to be human carcinogens. /Aflatoxins/ Adverse Effects Occupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation. IARC Carcinogen - Class 1: International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies chemicals as established human carcinogens. 2724362 duck LD50 oral 2450 ug/kg Nature., 200(1101), 1963 2724362 duck LD50 unreported 1420 ug/kg Gekkan Yakuji.

Additional Infomation |
Aflatoxin g2 is a very light and fluffy crystalline solid. Exhibits green-blue fluorescence. (NTP, 1992)
Aflatoxin G2 is a member of coumarins. Aflatoxin G2 has been reported in Aspergillus nomiae, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and other organisms with data available. Mechanism of Action With the 4 principal Aflatoxins tested, the order of inhibitory effect on RNA polymerase II was: B1 greater than G1 greater than B1, G2. Phagocytosis, intracellular killing of Candida albicans, and superoxide production by rat peritoneal macrophages exposed to aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, B2a, and M1 at several times and concentration were analyzed to evaluate the intensity of a depressive effect for each mycotoxin. All aflatoxins used at very low concn had a depressive effect on the functions of macrophages. The biggest impairment of phagocytosis, intracellular killing, and spontaneous superoxide production was observed in macrophages exposed to aflatoxins B1 and M1. |

Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
