ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY TOOLS & SERVICESdiacetoxy Scirpenol is a trichothecene mycotoxin originally isolated from F. equiseti.1 It is toxic to pigs (LD50 = 0.38 mg/kg, i.v.) and lethal to brine shrimp (LC50 = 0.39 µg/ml).2,3 diacetoxy Scirpenol (1 µg/ml) suppresses phagocytosis by, and superoxide production in, isolated mouse macrophages in an S. cerevisiae model of phagocytosis.4 It is toxic to barley, wheat, and sorghum seedlings (LD50s = 1.26, 3.98, and 10 mg/L, respectively).5 It has been found as a contaminant in grasses intended to be used as animal feed.6
