Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (4)
Mechanism of ToxicityAsteltoxin inhibits mitochondrial respiration by affecting its energy transfer system. It does this by inhibiting Mg2+ and Na+/K+-ATPases. (1, 2, 3)
MetabolismNot Available
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Lethal DoseLD50: 5.9 mg/kg (Intraperitoneal, Mouse) (3)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesAsteltoxin is a mycotoxin produced by the fungi Aspergillus stellatus and Emericella variecolor. It can be found in contaminated corn crops. (3)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
