General description

Aflatoxin B2/AFB2 is a toxic mycotoxin.

Application

Aflatoxin B2 has been used as a standard in a study to find out aflatoxins in various foods, spices and feedstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It has also been used as a standard to determine aflatoxins in honey by HPLC.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aflatoxin B2 is a hepatocarcinogen. Food contaminant produced by Aspergillus flavus, a common soil fungus. Aflatoxin B2/AFB2 may have dangerous hepatotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic actions on various forms of livestock.

Warning

Possibly carcinogenic.

Carcinogenesis and Epigenetics

Cancer research has revealed that the classical model of carcinogenesis, a three step process consisting of initiation, promotion, and progression, is not complete.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
