Human liver enzymes deacetylate T2-trichothecene to HT2-trichothecene in vitro.
The radioactivity of orally admin (3)H-T2-trichothecene (1 mg/kg body wt) to mice & rats was recovered in feces (55%) & urine (15%) within 72 hr. ... Analysis of the radioactivity recovered in feces of rats revealed that 2.7% of the dose was excreted as unchanged T2-trichothecene & 7.5% as 4-O-deacetylated T2-trichothecene (HT2-trichothecene)...the remaining fecal excretion products were not identified. In urine, HT2-trichothecene, representing 1.4% of the total dose & 8-hydroxydiacetoxyscirpenol (1.8%) were identified; 3 unidentified metabolites...were also isolated. The epoxide moeity...seems to be essential for its toxicological activity; the liver detoxifies T2-trichothecene, probably through epoxide hydrolase. In vitro, rat liver homogenate metabolizes T2-trichothecene to HT2-trichothecene, T2-trichothecene tetraol, 4-deacetylneosolaniol...& neosolaniol... The same metabolites were obtained from HT2-trichothecene, indicating that T2-trichothecene was preferentially hydrolyzed at the C-4 position to give NT2-trichothecene.
Trichothecenes are sesquiterpenoid toxins produced by Fusarium species. Since these mycotoxins are very stable, there is interest in microbial transformations that can remove toxins from contaminated grain or cereal products. Twenty-three yeast species assigned to the Trichomonascus clade (Saccharomycotina, Ascomycota), including four Trichomonascus species and 19 anamorphic species presently classified in Blastobotrys, were tested for their ability to convert the trichothecene T-2 toxin to less-toxic products. These species gave three types of biotransformations: acetylation to 3-acetyl T-2 toxin, glycosylation to T-2 toxin 3-glucoside, and removal of the isovaleryl group to form neosolaniol. Some species gave more than one type of biotransformation. Three Blastobotrys species converted T-2 toxin into T-2 toxin 3-glucoside, a compound that has been identified as a masked mycotoxin in Fusarium-infected grain. This is the first report of a microbial whole-cell method for producing trichothecene glycosides, and the potential large-scale availability of T-2 toxin 3-glucoside will facilitate toxicity testing and development of methods for detection of this compound in agricultural and other products.
Evaluation: No data were available on the carcinogenicity to humans of toxins derived from Fusarium sporotrichioides. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of T-2 toxin. Overall evaluation: Toxins derived from Fusarium sporotrichiodes are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of dietary fibers on T-2 toxicosis in rats. Weanling rats were fed varying levels of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin with and without T-2 toxin (3 ug/g feed) for 2 weeks. Only lignin showed promise of overcoming feed refusal and growth depression in animals fed T-2 toxin. Further experiments feeding alfalfa meal (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25%) with and without T-2 toxin indicated that this lignin-rich feedstuff could largely overcome feed refusal and growth depression caused by the toxin. There was no effect of diet, however, on the activity of hepatic esterase, the enzyme believed to catabolize T-2 toxin. Rats were fed diets containing 0, 5, 12.5 or 20% alfalfa for 2 weeks and then dosed orally with [(3)H]T-2 toxin. Dietary alfalfa increased fecal excretion of 3H, whereas urinary excretion was unaffected. Residual (3)H in kidney and muscle was reduced with alfalfa feeding when [(3)H]T-2 toxin was administered orally. Residual (3)H in the digesta in the intestinal lumen increased. Alfalfa feeding was found to reduce intestinal transit time. It was concluded that the feeding of alfalfa reduced T-2 toxicosis in rats by binding the toxin in the intestinal lumen thereby promoting fecal excretion.
Active oxygen species are reported to cause organ damage. This study was therefore designed to determine whether oxidative stress contributed to the initiation or progression of hepatic DNA damage produced by T-2 toxin. The aim of the study was also to investigate the behavior of the antioxidants coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) against DNA damage in the livers of mice fed T-2 toxin. Treatment of fasted mice with a single dose of T-2 toxin (1.8 or 2.8 mg/kg body weight) by oral gavage led to 76% hepatic DNA fragmentation. T-2 toxin also decreased hepatic glutathione (GSH) levels markedly. Pretreatment with CoQ10 (6 mg/kg) together with alpha tocopherol (6 mg/kg) decreased DNA damage. The CoQ10 and vitamin E showed some protection against toxic cell death and glutathione depletion caused by T-2 toxin. Oxidative damage caused by T-2 toxin may be one of the underlying mechanisms for T-2 toxin-induced cell injury and DNA damage, which eventually lead to tumourigenesis.
