    Product Description

    Fumonisin B2 (FB2) is a mycotoxin that has been found in F. moniliforme.1 It is cytotoxic against a panel of seven rat hepatoma cell lines (IC50s = 3-50 µg/ml), as well as MDCK cells (IC50 = 2 µg/ml).2 FB2 (125-1,000 µM) is also cytotoxic to primary rat hepatocytes and induces hepatocyte nodule formation, a marker of cancer initiation, in rats when administered at a dose of 1,000 mg/kg for 21 days.3 FB2 has been detected in corn and corn-based foods and livestock feeds.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
