Introduction

Ochratoxin C is an ethyl ester derivative of the well-known mycotoxin ochratoxin A, produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species. It exhibits nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive, and carcinogenic properties. Although less studied than ochratoxin A, it shares similar biosynthetic origins and toxic mechanisms. Ochratoxin C is important for understanding esterification effects on mycotoxin toxicity, stability, and biotransformation within contaminated food and biological systems.
