Bisfuranoid Mycotoxins: Their Genotoxicity and Carcinogenicity

Bisfuranoid mycotoxins are a family of fungal metabolites that contain in their molecules a characteristic dihydrobisfuran ring structure. Some representative bisfuranoid mycotoxins are aflatoxins B1, Gl, M1, sterigmatocystin, O- methylsterigmatocystin, and versicolorin A (See Figure 1 & 2).
