Abstract

Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, often contaminate agricultural products, posing risks to human and animal health. Among these, enniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA) have gained attention due to their widespread occurrence in food and feed products and their potential toxic effects. This review comprehensively examines bioanalytical methods for detecting ENNs and BEA in biological matrices, focusing on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), solid-phase extraction (SPE), and advanced sample preparation techniques. It emphasizes the significance of assessing bioaccessibility, determining the proportion of mycotoxins absorbed during digestion and their associated exposure risk. The review also explores the toxicokinetic profiles of ENNs and BEA, providing insights into their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) in humans and animals. The review also explores the biotransformation of these mycotoxins, shedding light on their metabolism into various products. Biomonitoring studies are discussed, focusing on detecting the metabolites of ENNs and BEA in biological fluids such as urine, plasma, and tissues to assess exposure. Overall, this review advocates for more research on toxicokinetics and biotransformation to fully understand the health risks of ENNs and BEA, and calls for enhanced bioanalytical detection and biomonitoring methods to improve food safety and regulatory measures.

期刊介绍： Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee. Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish: -articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms -papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins -molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins -clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained. -material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems. -articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides -epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged. -articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon. -review articles on problems related to toxinology. To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
