Tremorgenic Mycotoxins

  • Chapter
Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

The metabolic products of micro-organisms can be classified either as compounds of primary metabolic concern or else as secondary metabolites — substances which are apparently non-essential to the producing organism. Fungi have a remarkable capacity to produce such secondary metabolites, e.g. mycotoxins with a diverse array of structural and pharmacological properties (l).
