Neurotoxic mycotoxin from Penicillium toxicarium,
Penicillium ochrosalmoneum, Penicillium
ochrosalmoneum, Aspergillus terreus,
Penicillium citreo-viride and several other
related fungi. Citreoviridin is believed to be the cause of the Acute Cardiac Beri-Beri disease. |

...The
present invention relates to the compositions and methods for the inhibition
of cellular proliferation. More particularly, the present invention relates
to the use of antibiotics such as efrapeptins, oligomycins, mycotoxins, or
mycotoxin derivatives including those comprising aurovertin B, citreoviridin,
and α-zearalenol structural motifs for the treatment of hyperproliferative
diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and psoriasis...
