  • Alkaloid that inhibits biosynthesis of mycotoxins and method for screening for mycotoxin inhibitors
    Publication number: 20050119306
    Abstract: The present invention provides an alkaloid compound that is an inhibitor of mycotoxin biosynthesis. The alkaloid is an alkenyl piperidine amide wherein the alkenyl is a C18 alkenyl with one or more double bonds. The alkaloid inhibits transcription of the fungus genes nor-1, tri5, and ipnA. The present invention further provides a method for identifying compounds, which inhibit biosynthesis of aflatoxin in Aspergillus spp. and deoxynivalenol in Gibberella spp. without inhibiting growth of the fungus in vitro.
