Abstract
The fungal toxin sporidesmin A (spdA), responsible for the occurrence of facial eczema in livestock, forms a dianionic thiolato complex of t he type [(spdA)(2)M](2-) with zinc and cadmium, identified by electros pray mass spectrometry; such complexes may be important in the protect ion against facial eczema offered by zinc salts.
