✦ Synopsis

Sporidesmin, the mycotoxin responsible for 'facial eczema' in ruminants, has previously been shown to generate superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide. In the present study, the formation of the third 'active oxygen' species, hydroxyl radical, has been demonstrated. This species is produced both during the autoxidation of the reduced (dithiol) form of the mycotoxin and in the cyclic reduction/autoxidation reaction between sporidesmin and glutathione. In view of the exceptional reactivity of the hydroxyl radical, this substance may be the proximate agent responsible for the toxic effects of Sporidesmin.

## Abstract The mycotoxin sporidesmin has previously been shown to generate superoxide radical. This reaction involves autoxidation of the reduced form of the mycotoxin, a dithiol.

The effect of water vapor on the reaction mechanism of carbonyl oxide with hydroxyl radical has been investigated by using theoretical methods. Our calculations predict that the addition of the HO radical to the carbon atom of H 2 COO is the most favorable reaction path, as also found for the reacti
