Metabolite Identification
Common Namealpha-Zearalenol
DescriptionAlpha-zearlenol is a nonsteroidal estrogen or mycoestrogen found in fungi belonging to the Fusarium genus including F. graminearum, F. culmorum, F. crookwellense, etc (PMID: 22095651 ), As a mycotoxin, alpha-zearalenol is a widely distributed compound that contaminates many crops, grains, and other commodities (PMID: 30830360 ). Alpha-zearalenol, is also a major hepatic metabolite of zearalenone (another mycotoxin). Zearalenone has two metabolites, alpha and beta zearalenol which are produced in the liver by 3α-hydroxisteroid dehydrogenase and 3β-hydroxisteroid dehydrogenase (PMID: 30830360 ). Like Alpha-zearlenol, zearalenone or F-2 mycotoxin is produced by certain Fusarium species. It causes infertility, abortion and other breeding problems in swine. Alpha-zearlenol is also produced synthetically and sold as Zeranol, which is used as an anabolic agent for cattle. Alpha-zearlenol exhibits strong growth-promoting properties, but its sale is restricted in Europe (PMID: 22095651 ). Alpha-zearalenol has three to four times the biological activity of zearalenone. Alpha-zearlenol contains a lactone ring in its structure and is structurally analogous to estrogen, thus it can bind to estrogen receptors, and causes hepatotoxic, hematotoxic, immunotoxic, genotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects on different animal species (PMID: 17045381 ).
