The diterpenoid aldehyde traversianal, a metabolite of the fenugreek pathogen Cercospora traversiana, has been shown to be highly toxic to brine shrimp and snails, and to lyse human red blood cells at concentrations as low as 5 x 10(-7) M. The compound also induced betacyanin leakage from beetroot slices but was essentially inactive in other standard tests for phytotoxicity despite its structural similarities to known phytotoxins. It was inactive in the chick bioassay.
胡芦巴病原体尾孢菌（Cercospora traversiana）的代谢产物二萜醛traversianal已被证明对卤虫和蜗牛具有高毒性，并且在低至5×10^(-7) M的浓度下就能裂解人类红细胞。该化合物还能诱导甜菜根切片中的甜菜青素泄漏，尽管其结构与已知的植物毒素相似，但在其他标准的植物毒性测试中基本无活性。在雏鸡生物测定中它也无活性。
