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]
