Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Tenuazonic acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:
  • Cornflakes using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique.
  • Human urine samples using isotope dilution assay method and liquid chromatography coupled to a hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer.
  • Cereals using high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization ion-trap multistage mass spectrometry (HPLC- ESI ion-trap (IT) MS2). ESI Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance tandem mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS2) technique is used for product characterization, post derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine.

General description

Tenuazonic acid is a biologically active compound and its mode of action involves the inhibition of protein biosynthesis.
Tenuazonic acid is a mycotoxin, which belongs to the class of tetramic acids, the largest family of natural products. It is generally isolated from phytopathogenic fungal species like Alternaria alternata, A. longipes and A. tenuissima.
