چکیده

Background: Aflatoxins are harmful mycotoxins that can contaminate animal and human food products. To prevent toxigenic fungi growth and aflatoxin production, researchers have long investigated plant compounds as potential inhibitory agents.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effect of berberine sulfate and berberine chloride on the growth and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.Methods: The antifungal activity of berberine salts was determined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document M۳۸-A۳. The aflatoxin levels were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.Results: The berberine sulfate and berberine chloride showed inhibitory effects against both Aspergillus species, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from ۱۲۵ to ۵۰۰ µg/mL. Berberine sulfate at ۲۰۰۰ μg/mL and berberine chloride at ۱۰۰۰ μg/mL completely inhibited the mycelial growth of A. flavus, while berberine chloride at ۱۰۰۰ μg/mL also completely inhibited the mycelial growth of A. parasiticus. Berberine sulfate at ۲۰۰۰ µg/mL reduced the mycelial growth of A. parasiticus by ۹۶.۷%. Conclusion: Berberine salts significantly decreased the total aflatoxin production of Aspergillus species at MIC/۲ and MIC/۴ concentrations (P˂۰.۰۵). The results suggest that berberine salts could be used as potential antifungal and anti-aflatoxigenic agents against toxigenic Aspergillus isolates.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
