    Product Description

    Beauvericin is a mycotoxin originally derived from B. bassiana, a common fungal parasite of arthropods. It is also produced by the fungus Fusarium, a pathogen of insects and plants.1 Beauvericin is cytotoxic against insect cells, killing the insect cell line SF-9 with a 50% cytotoxic concentration of 2.5 μM.2 In mammalian cells, beauvericin induces apoptosis with an IC50 value of 4.5 μM.1,3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
