  • Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies
    agronomy Review Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies Sofia Agriopoulou Department of Food Science and Technology, University of the Peloponnese, Antikalamos, 24100 Kalamata, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-27210-45271 Abstract: Ergot alkaloids (EAs) are a group of mycotoxins that are mainly produced from the plant pathogen Claviceps. Claviceps purpurea is one of the most important species, being a major producer of EAs that infect more than 400 species of monocotyledonous plants. Rye, barley, wheat, millet, oats, and triticale are the main crops affected by EAs, with rye having the highest rates of fungal infection. The 12 major EAs are ergometrine (Em), ergotamine (Et), ergocristine (Ecr), ergokryptine (Ekr), ergosine (Es), and ergocornine (Eco) and their epimers ergotaminine (Etn), egometrinine (Emn), egocristinine (Ecrn), ergokryptinine (Ekrn), ergocroninine (Econ), and ergosinine (Esn). Given that many food products are based on cereals (such as bread, pasta, cookies, baby food, and confectionery), the surveillance of these toxic substances is imperative. Although acute mycotoxicosis by EAs is rare, EAs remain a source of concern for human and animal health as food contamination by EAs has recently increased. Environmental conditions, such as low temperatures and humid weather before and during flowering, influence contamination agricultural products by EAs, contributing to the Citation: Agriopoulou, S. Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and appearance of outbreak after the consumption of contaminated products. The present work aims to Cereal-Derived Food Products: present the recent advances in the occurrence of EAs in some food products with emphasis mainly Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, on grains and grain-based products, as well as their toxicity and control strategies.

PG College, Rajgarh 496551, Madhya Pradesh, India Email: [email protected] Received: 22 Apr 2016 Revised and Accepted: 20 June 2016 ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi that live asymptomatically inside the plant tissues have novel bioactive metabolites exhibiting a variety of biological activities, especially against cancer. This review highlights the research progress on the production of anticancer compounds by endophytic fungi from 1990- 2015. Anticancer activity is generally associated with the cytotoxicity of the compounds present in the endophytic fungi. The ubiquitous nature of endophytic fungi synthesise diverse chemicals with promising anticancer activity from either their original host or related species. Modification in fermentation parameters and genetic insight of endophytes may produce novel anti-cancerous compounds. Keywords: Cancer, Medicinal plants, Secondary metabolites © 2016 The Authors.

  • Incorporating Fermentation Into Undergraduate Laboratory Courses
    Athens Journal of Sciences- Volume 2, Issue 4 – Pages 257-264 Incorporating Fermentation into Undergraduate Laboratory Courses By Claire Gober Madeleine Joullie† Laboratory courses in universities have a responsibility to introduce current research practices and trends in scientific research to adequately prepare students for work in the field. One such research practice gaining popularity in recent years is that of green chemistry. Since the 1960s, increasing concern over the release of toxic chemicals into the environment has led to a push for more environmentally responsible chemistry. A growing faction of chemists has begun to adopt methods to eliminate chemical waste and support green chemistry. Fermentation is an ideal technique to demonstrate environmentally sustainable chemistry in an undergraduate laboratory class. Fermentation of complex natural products, as opposed to traditional organic synthesis, is beneficial as it supports a number of principles of green chemistry; it is conducted at ambient temperature and pressure, uses inexpensive and innocuous materials, makes use of renewable resources, and does not require a fume hood. Skills implemented during fermentation can be easily taught to upper-level Chemistry and Biochemistry undergraduate students, who typically have limited exposure to complex natural products in their coursework. Such a course would be interdisciplinary in nature, incorporating fungal biology and metabolism as well as organic chemistry. Students would learn a variety of skills, including growth media selection and preparation, inoculation of fungal cultures, extraction of natural products, and purification and characterization of metabolites. Experiments of this nature would allow for discussions of several areas of research: green chemistry, natural products and their application to medicine, identification of functional groups in complex molecules by spectroscopy, and introduction to biochemistry and metabolism.

  • Nematotoxicity of Neotyphodium Infected Tall Fescue Alkaloids and Other Secondary Metabolites on Pratylenchus Scribneri
    NEMATOTOXICITY OF NEOTYPHODIUM-INFECTED TALL FESCUE ALKALOIDS AND OTHER SECONDARY METABOLITES ON THE PLANT- PARASITIC NEMATODE PRATYLENCHUS SCRIBNERI by ADA ANTONIA BACETTY (Under the direction of Charles W. Bacon) ABSTRACT Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a perennial, cool-season turf and forage grass species in the United States that covers over 20 million hectares of pastureland. Neotyphodium coenophialum, an endophytic fungus associated with cool-season grasses, enhances host fitness and imparts pest resistance to the grass. Biologically active alkaloids and other secondary metabolites are produced in this association that not only cause adverse effects on livestock, fescue toxicosis, but may also play a role in the reduction of plant-parasitic nematode populations. Currently there is little information available on the effects of these biologically active compounds on nematodes associated with tall fescue. Therefore, this research examines the interaction of ergot and loline alkaloids, as well as polyphenolic compounds, from endophyte-infected tall fescue on toxicity to the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus scribneri. In vitro bioassays were performed to assess the effects of specifically identified compounds on P. scribneri motility, mortality, and chemoreception. While separate greenhouse studies evaluated the effects of endophyte- infected tall fescue on P. scribneri viability. Root extracts served as nematistatic agents to the nematodes in the chemical submersion assays and affected nematode behavior by acting as repellents in chemoreception studies. During individual tests, ergovaline and α-ergocryptine were nematicidal at 5µg/ml and 50µg/ml respectively. However, chemotaxis studies revealed α-ergocryptine as an attractant (1-20µg/ml) and repellent (50-200µg/ml). Ergovaline was an effective repellent (1-5µg/ml) and a nematicidal (10-200µg/ml).

However, ruminant diets contain a high propor- tion of forage crops such as grass or maize silage, hay and straw. Under adverse growing, production or storage conditions, fungal spoilage is likely to occur with some degree of mycotoxin contamination. The mould Ñora of forage crops is likely to di†er signiÐcantly from that of cereals and mycotoxin contamination, should it occur, could di†er qualitatively and quantitatively. Information relating to forage crops as a potential source of mycotoxins is reviewed. Some Ðeld inci- dents and animal disease which may be mycotoxin related are discussed and analytical methods are reviewed. Information on dose and e†ect of candidate mycotoxins is given where available. The review suggests areas which the authors consider merit further study. Crown Copyright 1998.

The use of these seeds is unsafe. They can cause hallucinogenic effects, nausea, vomiting, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, (severe) fatigue and lethargy. These health effects can occur even when the seeds are consumed at the recommended dose. This is the conclusion of a risk assessment performed by RIVM. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are sold as raw seeds or in capsules. The raw seeds can be eaten as such, or after being crushed and dissolved in liquid (generally hot water).

These authors also prepared 8-ethyl-D-isolysergic acid diethylamide and the 1,8- dimethyl-D-isolysergic acid diethylamide. There is no mention in the literature of an 8,8-disubstituted-9-ergo O lene in which the substituents at 8 are other than amide groups and in which the 1-position is not substituted.
