Viomellein is an organic chemical compound . It is a mycotoxin that is produced as a metabolic product of various molds , including Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium viridicatum . These molds and thus Viomellein can be found especially on barley . Viomellein is nephrotoxic . The toxicity is relatively low; the toxic dose in mice ( oral ) is 450 mg kg −1 .
