PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Rubratoxin 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.
