Abstract

Due to its toxicity and presence in numerous food products, Ochratoxin A (OTA) has drawn attention for decades. This article summarizes the first synthesis of a labeled analogue of Ochratoxin α (OTα), one of the main products generated by the metabolization of OTA by microorganisms. This synthesis also led to a new labeled analogue of OTA with the deuteration located on the dihydroisocoumarin moiety allowing thus both the accurate quantification of OTA and OTα and the establishing of a reliable detoxification rate.
