Cole 1988 <p>Isoneosolaniol (4,8-diacetoxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene-3,15-diol) and other unidentified trichothecene mycotoxins were isolated from culture extracts of two highly toxigenic strains of <i>Fusarium compactum</i> cultured from waste peanuts involved in an acute intoxication of sandhill cranes (<i>Grus canadensis</i>). Neosolaniol and other unidentified trichothecenes were detected in waste peanuts collected from affected areas. The structure of isoneosolaniol was determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR analyses and by high-resolution mass spectometry. Isoneosolaniol was hightly toxic to 1-day-old chickens and to a HEp2 cell culture assay. It was concluded that the most logical cause of the sandhill crane intoxication was <i>Fusarium</i> spp. Contaminated peanuts and various trichothecene mycotoxins acting alone or in conjunction with other <i>Fusarium</i> mycotoxins.</p> application/pdf 10.1021/jf00084a009 en ACS Publications Isolation and identification of trichothecenes from Fusarium compactum suspected in the aetiology of a major intoxication of sandhill cranes article
