Abstract
In vitro metabolism of T-2 toxin was studied in homogenates of mouse and monkey livers. In addition to several hydrolyzed products, including HT-2 toxin, neosolaniol, 4-deacetylneosolaniol, 15-deacetylneosolaniol, and T-2 tetraol, two metabolic products were isolated from the incubation mixture. Their structures were confirmed as 3'-hydroxy T-2 toxin and 3'-hydroxy HT-2 toxin on the basis of mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The formation of these hydroxylated metabolites was found in the microsomes in the presence of NADPH, and the hydroxylation reaction was enhanced by treating mice with phenobarbital. The results suggest that a cytochrome P-450 is catalyzing the hydroxylation at the C-3' position of T-2 and HT-2 toxins. An in vitro metabolic pathway of T-2 toxin in the hepatic homogenates containing the NADPH-generating system is proposed.
