Description
T2 toxin triol is a Fusarium trichothecene mycotoxin. In vitro, this compound displays significant cytotoxic activity, inducing breakdown of polyribosomes and inhibiting polypeptide chain elongation in eukaryotes. Additionally, T2 triol exhibits cytotoxicity in Jurkat T cells. This mycotoxin was initially produced by mycoplasma in barley, maize, oats, and other livestock feed grains.
