Abstract
The toxic and carcinogenic properties of aflatoxins are well understood, but little is known about the biological activity of the anthraquinone precursors of aflatoxin. This paper describes a dry column chromatographic method for preparing averantin, averufin, norsolorinic acid and versicolorin A from mycelial extracts of blocked mutants of Aspergillus parasiticus in quantities suitable for toxicological testing.
