Descriptor aflatoxinas
Entry term(s) aflatoxina
Scope note: Benzopiranos-furano-furano producidos por el ASPERGILLUS a partir de la ESTERIGMATOCISTINA. Están estructuralmente relacionados con las CUMARINAS y se oxidan con facilidad dando lugar a un epóxido que, a su vez, se transforma en AGENTES ALQUILANTES. En este grupo se incluyen la AFLATOXINA B1, la aflatoxina B2, la aflatoxina G1, la aflatoxina G2, la AFLATOXINA M1 y la aflatoxina M2.

Scope note: Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2.
