Alpha-Zearalenol is a synthetic derivative of the macrolactone mycotoxin zearalenone, which is also manufactured by Fermentek by the method of fungal fermentation.. Alpha-Zearalenol is estrogenically active and demonstrates induction of premature uterine growth, increase of nuclear estrogen receptor levels, and a five fold increase of ornithine decarboxylase level (ODC). The increase of ODC level was 20-fold more pronounced with Alpha-Zearalenol than zearalenone, and Alpha-Zearalenol demonstrated three times more potent estrogenic activity than zearalenone.
