Zearalanone (syn: ZAN) is a minor component of the zearalenone (syn: ZEN) complex produced by several species of Fusarium. Like the more abundant analogs, Zearalanone causes estrogenic effects in domestic livestock in vivo. Zearalanone is a mycoestrogen and F-2 toxin and metabolite of α-zearalanol, a commercial animal growth promotant and reference standard for detection of zearanol-contaminated products and Fusarium-contaminated grains.
Zearalanone is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Zearalanone has limited water solubility.
