Diacetoxyscirpenol (abbreviated DAS), also called anguidine, is a mycotoxin (mold toxin ) from the group of type A trichothecenes and a Fusarium toxin. It is produced as a metabolite of fungi of the genus Fusarium and may cause toxicosis in farm animals.

Diacetoxyscirpenol inhibits protein biosynthesis, which has lead to the death of rapidly dividing cells. Therefore, it was tested to the 1980s for its effectiveness as a cancer cure.
