Aflatoxin G2
Aflatoxin G2 (CAS: 7241-98-7), with the empirical formula C17H14O7 and a molecular weight of 330.29 g/mol, is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by certain Aspergillus species. It is recognised as a potent carcinogen. Aflatoxin G2 is a critical research chemical used in studies involving toxicology, cancer research, and cellular pathology, aiding in the understanding of the mechanisms of mycotoxin-induced diseases.
Toxicology Research
Utilised in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate the toxicological effects and metabolic pathways of mycotoxins. This aids in understanding potential health risks associated with contaminated food sources.
Carcinogenesis Studies
Employed as a reference standard and research tool in studies focused on the mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis. It helps researchers elucidate the cellular and molecular events leading to cancer development.
Cell Biology Investigations
Used in cell-based assays to assess the impact of mycotoxins on cellular functions, DNA damage, and signalling pathways. This contributes to a deeper understanding of cellular responses to toxic agents.
Analytical Standards
Serves as an analytical standard for the detection and quantification of aflatoxins in food, feed, and environmental samples. Accurate quantification is essential for regulatory compliance and public health.
