Aflatoxin B1 exo-8,9-epoxide is a toxic metabolite of aflatoxin B1. It's formed by the action of cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver.[1]

In the liver, aflatoxin B1 is metabolized to aflatoxin B1 exo-8,9-epoxide by the cytochrome P450 enzymes. The resulting epoxide can react with guanine in the DNA to cause DNA damage.[2]
