Zearalenone is a phenolic resorcyclic acid lactone and can be produced by a number of species of Fusarium known to colonize cereals. Zearalenone (6-[10-hydroxy-6-oxo-trans-1-undecenyl]-b-resorcyclic acid lactone), also known as F-2 toxin, is an estrogenic mycotoxin that is produced by Fusarium graminearum. This fungus can infect cereal grains and can elaborate large quantities of zearalenone. Zearalenone is a naturally occurring estrogen, recognized as causing hormonal effects in animal species such as the pig. The association between zearalenone exposure and human diseases remains speculative at present; it has been considered as a possible causative agent in outbreaks of precocious pubertal changes in young children and has been suggested to have a possible involvement in human cervical cancer. Synonyms: Zearalanol; Zearanol; Mycotoxin F2; Toxin F2; RAL Source: Giberella zeae CAS No: 17924-92-4 Molecular Formula: C18H22O5 Molecular Weight: 318.4 Applications: The resorcylic acid lactones have estrogenic activity. Zearalenone and its derivates have been used as veterinary anabolic or estrogen substitutes. Appearance: White to off-white solid Purity: ~98% by TLC, HPLC Melting Point: 167°C Solubility: Limited solubility in water (~0.002g/100ml). Slightly soluble in hexane and progressively more in benzene, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, methanol, acetone. Produceds a clear, colorless solution at 5mg/ml in methanol.
