Abstract excerpt
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and sterigmatocystin (ST) are mycotoxins that pose significant threats to human and animal health owing to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, and toxic properties. They are structurally similar and widely believed to exert their biological effects via the generation of DNA-damaging epoxides at their respective terminal furan rings. Despite structural identity in the warhead portion of each toxin,...
