Abstract

The absolute stereochemical description of fumonisin B₁ (FB₁) and presumably of its congeners is now secure. In this article I summarize studies leading to this conclusion and outline the biosynthetic and synthetic studies of FB₁. Key words: absolute configuration, fumonisin biosynthesis, fumonisin B₁, fumonisins, fumonisin synthesis, mycotoxins. -- Environ Health Perspect 109(suppl 2) :245-249 (2001) .
