DescriptionCyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is a myxotoxin originally isolated from Penicillium cyclopium and subsequently from Penicillium griseofulvum, Penicillium camembertii, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus versicolor. It is often found co-occurring with aflatoxins. CPA is a natural contaminant of corn, peanuts, and sunflowers, as well as various types of cheese, sausages, and salamis. It may also occur in eggs, milk and meats from animal that have consumed CPA-contaminated feed and is toxic in high concentrations. (7, 2)

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral, dermal, inhalation, and parenteral (contaminated drugs). (6)
Mechanism of ToxicityCyclopiazonic acid is potent and specific inhibitor of the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca+-dependent ATPases, which are essential for calcium reuptake in the muscle contraction-relaxation cycle. CPA blocks the calcium access channel and rigidifies a subset of transmembrane helices in a nonnative configuration that is incompatible with calcium binding. Inhibition of Ca2+-ATPases results in cell death through the activation of stress-response and apoptotic pathways within the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. CPA can also induce both secretion and mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines, likely leading to macrophage activation and immunotoxic effects. In addition, it has been shown to be mutagenic and genotoxic. Mycotoxins are often able to enter the liver and kidney by human organic anion transporters (hOATs) and human organic cation transporters (hOCTs). They can also inhibit uptake of anions and cations by these transporters, interefering with the secretion of endogenous metabolites, drugs, and xenobiotics including themselves. This results in increased cellular accumulation of toxic compounds causing nephro- and hepatotoxicity. (1, 2, 4, 5)
