Nivalenol is a cytotoxic trichothecene mycotoxin that has been found in a variety of grains and other plant-based foods. It decreases cell proliferation and also displays pro-apoptotic activity. Nivalenol is known to bind to a variety of cellular proteins, including the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). This binding triggers a cascade of events that result in the activation of a variety of genes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and other cellular processes. Nivalenol also interferes with the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, as well as a variety of hormones and neurotransmitters. It has been studied extensively in scientific research, primarily in the areas of food safety, toxicology, and human and animal health. It has been used as a model system to study the toxic effects of mycotoxins, and to evaluate the efficacy of detoxification and decontamination methods. It may act to be active in vitro (EC50 = 0.96 muM) andin vivo.
