The Uses of ZEARALANONE
Zearalanone is a minor component of the zearalenone complex produced by several species of Fusarium. Like the more abundant analogues, zearalanone causes estrogenic effects in domestic livestock. Zearalanone is a metabolite of α-zearalanol, a commercially available growth promotant in animals, and is a useful standard for detection of zearanol-contaminated products and Fusarium-contaminated grains.
The Uses of ZEARALANONE
A secondary metabolite of Zearalenone (ZON). The macrocyclic lactone Zearalanone used in the synthesis of d,l-Zearalanol.
What are the applications of Application
(S)-Zearalanone is a metabolite of Zearalenone
Definition
ChEBI: Zearalanone is a member of resorcinols and a macrolide.
General Description
Zearalanone (ZEA) or F-2 toxin, a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin is produced by various Fusarium species. Fusarium graminearum is considered as the primary producer of zearalanone. It is usually seen in moldy hay, high-moisture corn, corn infected before harvest etc.
Biological Activity
zearalanone (zan) is an estrogen receptor agonist and also an androgen receptor antagonist [1].zearalenone (zen), a β-resorcyclic acid lactone (ral), is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin biosynthesized by several fusarium species. zearalenone (zen) is the well-known mycotoxin present in numerous agricultural products [1][2][3][4]. in the human endometrial ishikawa cell line, zearalenone (zen) exhibited strong oestrogenicity [4].when incubated fusarium semitectum on sorghum, the ratio of zan to zen remained constant after 5 days, suggesting that zan might not be suitable for use as an internal standard [5].zearalanone, a major phase i metabolite of zearalenone (zen), is an estrogen receptor agonist and also an androgen receptor antagonist. in mcf-7 cells, zearalanone strongly induced cell proliferation with ec50 value of 1.21 nm and showed significant estrogenic activity. zearalanone behaved as full herα agonist. in palm cells, zearalanone acted as a har antagonist that strongly inhibited the luciferase activity induced by 0.3 nm of r1881, the synthetic androgen [1].
Biochem/physiol Actions
Zearalanone is believed to cause vulvovaginitis and estrogenic responses in swine.
