Abstract

Three classes of 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes, differing in the number of hydroxy or acetoxy substituents, were implanted or injected into rat brain to establish structure-toxicity relationships. A free 3α-hydroxy group increases toxicity more than 10-fold, when compared to trichothecenes lacking this substituent. The 8α-hydroxy group enhances toxicity about 4-fold.
