Abstract:

Deoxynivalenol(DON)is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium. It is cytotoxic and can cause embryo deformity,which seriously threatens human and animal health. To provide enough high-purity DON for scientific research in toxicology and detoxification,we developed a simple,economical and effective process for the separation and purification of DON. 1. Extraction:84% acetonitrile aqueous solution was used to extract DON from the rice culture of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 to obtain DON crude extract. 2. Cleaning:Petroleum ether and saturated saline aqueous solution were used to remove the impurity from the DON crude extract. 3. Refining:The product obtained in step 2 was washed by ethyl acetate:petroleum ether (1∶1 of V/V). Then more impurity was removed by liquid-liquid distribution based on the polarity difference between ethyl acetate and saturated saline aqueous solution. 4. Purification:Helped by preparative high performance liquid chromatography DON in high purity was obtained. With this method 61.36 mg highly purified DON was obtained from one kilogram PH-1 culture. Its main feature is that the purity of the refined DON has reached 80%,which could be directly applied in conventional scientific research. If further purification needed via preparative liquid chromatography,the column loss can be remarkably reduced,therefore the economic cost decreases.
