Description: Citreoviridin is a neurotoxic mycotoxin from Penicillium citeoviride, Penicillium toxicarium, Penicillium ochrosalmoneum, Penicillium ochrosalmoneum, Aspergillus terreus, and several other related fungi. Citreoviridin is believed to be the cause of the Acute Cardiac Beri-Beri disease. Naturally, It is formed on rice improperly stored.
Solubility ( literature ): Citreoviridin is soluble in benzene, ethanol, chloroform, ether, dichloromethane. Citreoviridin is hardly soluble in water (enough to give it yellow color) and hexane
Applications: As other Aurovertin group members, Citreoviridin binds to and inhibit mitochondrial ATPase, thereby uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Citreoviridin, a mycotoxin that has been shown to inhibit the mitochondrial ATP synthetase system. It inhibits soluble ATPase, ADP-stimulated respiration in isolated rat liver mitochondria, and ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate (KD = 2 µM). Citreoviridin has been used to target ectopic ATPase activity in cancer cells in order to modulate the metabolic activity associated with tumorigenesis.
