Chemical structures of primary Fusarium mycotoxins. (A) Chemical structures of Types A and B trichothecenes produced by Fusarium, such as diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), deoxynivalenol (DON), HT‐2 toxin (HT‐2), T‐2 toxin (T‐2), monoacetoxyscirpenol (MAS), neosolaniol (NEO), and nivalenol (NIV), the acetylated derivatives of DON and NIV (3ADON, 15ADON, 4ANIV), and the new trichothecene mycotoxin NX‐2. (B) Chemical structures of B‐series fumonisins, which show structural variations based on the presence or absence of hydroxyl groups at C‐5 (R1) and C‐10 (R2). (C) Chemical structure of zearalenone and its derivatives.
