Fumonisin

Chemical structure of fumonisin B1

The fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins derived from Fusarium and their Liseola section.[1] They have strong structural similarity to sphinganine, the backbone precursor of sphingolipids.[2]

More specifically, it can refer to:

As the fumonisins appear to be non-genotoxic the possibility that they belong to another class of non-genotoxic carcinogens, the peroxisome proliferators, was investigated[3]

Genetic engineering is reported as a promising means of detoxifying mycotoxins. This approach may provide innovative solutions to the problem of fumonisin in corn.[4]

At least 15 different fumonisins have so far been reported and other minor metabolites have been identified, although most of them have not been shown to occur naturally.[5] In 2015, a unique class of non-aminated fumonisins[6] was reported on grapes infected with Aspergillus welwitschiae, although their toxicities have not yet been established.
