title: In vitro metabolism of T-2 toxin.
abstract: Incubation of T-2 toxin with the 9,000 x g supernatant fluid of both human and bovine liver homogenate resulted in conversion to a single, deacetylated product identified as HT-2 toxin. Metabolism is more rapid in human liver. HT-2 toxin was not produced when human plasma was the incubating medium nor was it produced by treatment of T-2 toxin with simulated gastric juice. T-2 toxin was stable in gastric juice for at least 1 h.
