Antiaflatoxigenic activity of eugenol is due to inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

Eugenol inhibited aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus in a dose dependent manner up to a concentration of 0.75 mmol/L without inhibiting growth.  When grown for 3 days in the presence of eugenol at 0.45 mmol/L (the concentration inhibiting aflatoxin production by 50%) for 3 days, in vivo activities of components of polysubstrate monooxygenase were decreased at idiophase, concomitant with decreased activities of enzymes involved in free radical scavenging, lipid peroxidation and maintenance of redox potential.
