    Product Description

    Fusaric acid is a picolinic acid derivative first isolated from fungi of the genus Fusarium.1 It is transformed to an N-methylamide derivative by many plant species infected by the mold.2 Both fusaric acid and fusaric acid methylamide are thought to contribute to the toxicoses developed from ingesting mold-infested feeds.2,3 Fusaric acid can also synergize the toxicity of trichothecenes in certain assays.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
