O-methylsterigmatocystin M052-1MG

产品介绍

O-Methylsterigmatocystin is a natural product formed via methylation of sterigmatocystin.  O-Methylsterigmatocystin is a xanthone metabolite isolated from several species of Aspergillus and Chaetomium. It is a precursor to aflatoxin G1 and B1 and, while it is considered mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic, it is less potent than the aflatoxins. Research on this metabolite has focused on its genetic and phenotypic relationship to aflatoxins.  O-Methylsterigmatocystin can be used to study the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway.
