ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionRubratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by fungi such as Penicillum rubrum and Penicillum purpurogenum, which are common soil fungi that sometimes contaminate animal feeds. Rubratoxins have been shown to be hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, and splenotoxic. Studies on Rubratoxin A however have also indicated it may also have valuable antitumor and antimetastatic effects. (1, 4)

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (5)
Mechanism of ToxicityRubratoxin A is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A, exerting antitumor and antimetastatic effects. Inhibition may cause the phosphorylation of CREB and subsequent activation of natural killer cells via the stimulation of interleukin-2 release from T cells, contributing to antimetastatic effects. Focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation and paxillin phosphorylation that interfere with cell adhesion could be another antimetastatic effect. Rubratoxin A has also been shown to inhibit Na+/K+-transporting ATPases. (3, 4)
