The genotoxic activity of four mycotoxins has been studied. A high level of somatic mutagenesis in imaginal disk of Drosophila melanogaster larvae and DNA repair synthesis in human embryo and adult rat liver cells cultures was induced only by the strong carcinogen aflatoxin B1. Patulin somewhat elevated the level of somatic mutations in D. melanogaster, but did not elicit DNA repair synthesis. Citrinin and stachybotryotoxin were inactive in both systems.

D010365 Patulin 4-Hydroxy-4H-furo(3,2-c)pyran-2(6H)-one. A mycotoxin produced by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. It is found in unfermented apple and grape juice and field crops. It has antibiotic properties and has been shown to be carcinogenic and mutagenic and causes chromosome damage in biological systems.
