Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 7241-98-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 as secondary metabolites of fungal species such as Aspergillus flavus or Aspergillus parasiticus growing on a variety of foods (peanuts, nuts, spices, cereals). Aflatoxins are a group of very carcinogenic mycotoxins with hepatotoxic effects.
2. Aflatoxin G2 is the minor analogue of the green fluorescent family of bisfuranocoumarin mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus and related species. Alfatoxins are one of the most potent mycotoxins known but are in fact "pre-toxins", requiring metabolic activation to the toxic principle. Aflatoxins are found widely in nature in trace amounts, particularly in grains and nuts. The toxicity of these metabolites was first recognised in the 1950s and their structures elucidated in 1963. Aflatoxins have been extensively reviewed.

General Description

Very light and fluffy crystalline solid. Exhibits green-blue fluorescence.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly water soluble

Reactivity Profile

AFLATOXIN G2 is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong bases.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: AFLATOXIN G2 is extremely toxic. Ingestion of even microgram quantities can cause toxic affects and, possibly, death. It can also be absorbed through the skin. Allow only your most experienced personnel to work with AFLATOXIN G2. All non-essential personnel should leave the laboratory.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for AFLATOXIN G2 are not available. AFLATOXIN G2 is probably combustible.

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
