Forty-two of the 44 isolates of penitrem-producing isolates grown on rice, afforded levels of thomitrem A and E comparable to that of penitrem A. Thomitrems A and E were also found, but at lower levels, when cultures were grown on barley. No thomitrems were found when the isolates were grown on liquid media. The effects of time and temperature on mycotoxin formation were studied on rice over a 4 week period at 10, 15 and 25 ◦C, respectively. No mycotoxins could be detected after 1 week at 10 ◦C, but after 2 weeks at 10 ◦C levels were similar to those produced at 15 and 25 ◦C. Higher levels of thomitrems A and E were detected when media were maintained at lower pH. The possibility that thomitrems A and E might be derived by acid promoted conversion of penitrems A and E was explored in stability trials performed at pH 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 in the presence and absence of media.

The high conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK, Maxi-K channels) play an important role in the survival of some BC phenotypes, via membrane hyperpolarization and regulation of cell cycle. BK channels have been implicated in BC cell proliferation and invasion. Penitrems are indole diterpene alkaloids produced by various terrestrial and marine Penicillium species. Penitrem A (1) is a selective BK channel antagonist with reported antiproliferative and anti-invasive activities against multiple malignancies, including BC. This study reports the high expression of BK channel in different BC subtypes. In silico BK channel binding affinity correlates with the antiproliferative activities of selected penitrem analogs. 1 showed the best binding fitting at multiple BK channel crystal structures, targeting the calcium-sensing aspartic acid moieties at the calcium bowel and calcium binding sites.

  • Assessment of Grain Safety in Developing Nations
    ASSESSMENT OF GRAIN SAFETY IN DEVELOPING NATIONS by José Rodrigo Mendoza Jiménez A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major: Food Science & Technology Under the Supervision of Professors Andréia Bianchini and Jayne E. Stratton Lincoln, Nebraska December, 2020 ASSESSMENT OF GRAIN SAFETY IN DEVELOPING NATIONS José Rodrigo Mendoza Jiménez, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Andréia Bianchini Grains are the most widely consumed foods worldwide, with maize (Zea mays) being frequently consumed in developing countries where it feeds approximately 900 million people under the poverty line of 2 USD per day. While grain handling practices are acceptable in most developed nations, many developing nations still face challenges such as inadequate field management, drying, and storage. Faulty grain handling along with unavoidably humid climates result in recurrent fungal growth and spoilage, which compromises both the end-quality and safety of the harvest. This becomes particularly problematic where there is little awareness about health risks associated with poor quality grain. Fungi are contaminants of maize and some can produce toxins, known as mycotoxins, that both devalue crop marketability and have detrimental health effects, especially to those malnourished. As some households depend on their harvest for self- consumption, losses due to fungi endanger their food security. To abate the threat posed by mycotoxigenic fungi on maize among developing nations, this research was conducted as a compilation of works in several countries. More specifically, it describes agricultural practices currently in use in developing nations, provides an overview of mycotoxin prevalence and approaches that can be used to improve grain safety post-harvest through proper storage.

  • Tremorgenic Mycotoxin Intoxication by Mary M
    Tremorgenic mycotoxin intoxication by Mary M. Schell, DVM Dogs allowed to roam or get into the trash may ingest tremorgenic mycotoxins, which are neorotoxins that produce varying degrees of muscle tremors or seizures that can last for hours or days. Since 1998, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) has consulted on 25 cases of suspected tremorgenic mycotoxin intoxication in dogs and one in a squirrel. Sources of tremorgenic mycotoxins for household pets have included moldy dairy foods, moldy walnuts or peanuts, stored grains, and moldy spaghetti. 1-7 These toxic secondary metabolites of many fungi vary in quantity and in their ability to produce clinical effects. Toxin production depends on seasonal growing conditions as well as the genus and species of the mold. At least 20 mycotoxins have been identified as tremorgens (compounds capable of inducing serious muscle tremor in one or more vertebrates), although only a few have been shown to have clinical relevance.3,8 Penicillium species are most often incriminated in producing tremorgenic mycotoxins; the most common are penitrem-A and roquefortine C.1,3,6,8 Intoxication with these mycotoxins has been documented in many animals, including dogs, cattle, sheep, rabbits, poultry, and rodents. Several mechanisms of action have been proposed, and the mechanism may vary both between toxins and the individual susceptible species. Penitrem-A inhibits the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine in mice. Studies in mice have shown that drugs such as mephenesin or nalorphine, which increase glycine

The highly complex lolitrem compounds are confined to Epichloë species, whilst penitrem production is confined to Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp. These fungal species are often present in association with pasture grasses, and the indole-diterpenes produced may cause toxicity in grazing animals. In this review, we highlight the unique structural variations of indole-diterpenes that are characterised into subgroups, including paspaline, paxilline, shearinines, paspalitrems, terpendoles, penitrems, lolitrems, janthitrems, and sulpinines. A detailed description of the unique biological activities has been documented where even structurally related compounds have displayed unique biological activities. Indole-diterpene production has been reported in two classes of ascomycete fungi, namely Eurotiomycetes (e.g., Aspergillus and Penicillium) and Sordariomycetes (e.g., Claviceps and Epichloë).
