Abstract
The synthesis of 10 conjugates of the mycotoxin 4-deoxynivalenol (DON) is described. The compounds synthesized include eight fatty acid esters and two glucosides. Fattyacid esters of DON were synthesized at positions 3 and 15 by reaction of DON with the appropriate acid chlorides in the presence of pyridine, while the glucosides were obtained by a Koenigs-Knorr reaction with acetobromoglucose. HPLC methods for the analysis of these compounds are also described.

Detoxification of the Fusarium Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol by a UDP-glucosyltransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of a gene from Arabidopsis thaliana encoding a UDP-glycosyltransferase that is able to detoxify deoxynivalenol is reported, and it is shown that this enzymatic reaction inactivates the mycotoxin.

The Ability to Detoxify the Mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol Colocalizes With a Major Quantitative Trait Locus for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat

TL;DR: It is concluded that resistance to DON is important in the FHB resistance complex and hypothesize that Qfhs.ndsu-3BS either encodes a DON-glucosyl-transferase or regulates the expression of such an enzyme.

Masked mycotoxins: determination of a deoxynivalenol glucoside in artificially and naturally contaminated wheat by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: The first report on the natural occurrence of a glucoside of deoxynivalenol in Fusarium-infected wheat and maize indicates the importance to consider both DON and DON-3-glucoside with regard to food and feed safety.
