Versicolorin A, a precursor in aflatoxins biosynthesis, is a food contaminant toxic for human intestinal cells

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most potent carcinogen among mycotoxins. Its biosynthesis involves the formation of versicolorin A (VerA), whose chemical structure shares many features with AFB1. Our data revealed significant levels of VerA in foodstuff from Central Asia and Africa. Given this emerging f...
