Description

(+)-Calonectrin CAS NO 38818-51-8 is a specific stereoisomer of the trichothecene mycotoxin calonectrin, serving as a critical chemical reference standard and biosynthetic intermediate. Its precise stereochemistry makes it an essential tool for researchers studying the biosynthesis, toxicology, and detection of trichothecene compounds in agricultural and food safety contexts. This high-purity material is primarily needed by analytical laboratories, academic research institutions, and agrochemical companies focused on mycotoxin analysis and metabolic pathway elucidation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of trichothecene mycotoxins via HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS in food, feed, and environmental samples.
• Biosynthesis Research: Acts as a key intermediate in studies mapping the enzymatic pathways and gene clusters responsible for trichothecene production in Fusarium and other fungi.
• Toxicological Studies: Employed in research to understand the structure-activity relationships, mechanisms of action, and cellular impacts of specific trichothecene stereoisomers.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a critical calibrant for developing and validating new analytical methods for mycotoxin detection to meet regulatory compliance (e.g., EU, FDA).
• Phytopathological Research: Used in studies investigating the role of calonectrin and its derivatives in plant-fungus interactions and disease development.
• Chemical Synthesis: Provides a chiral starting material or intermediate for the synthetic preparation of other trichothecene derivatives for research purposes.
• Quality Control: Utilized by manufacturers of diagnostic kits or immunoassays as a standard for ensuring kit accuracy and performance.
