Sarcodon Mushrooms: Biologically Active Metabolites
نویسنده
چکیده
Thelephorales Corn ex. Oberw. belong to the Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota, Fungi) and comprise more than 177 species (Kirk et al., 2008) that are classified into two families: the Bankeraceae Donk (mostly with colourless basidiospores) and the Thelephoraceae Chevall. (mostly with brown to yellowish basidiospores) (Yorou & Agerer, 2007). Bankeraceae are characterized by a typical fenugreek odour, with pileate and stipitate fruit bodies, hydnoid to spinose hymenophores with brown and lobed as well as colourless and evenly ornamented basidiospores. Bankeraceae comprise 5 distinct genera: Bankera Coker & Beers ex Pouzar, Hydnellum P. Karsten, Phellodon P. Karsten, Sarcodon Quél. ex P. Karst and Boletopsis Fayod.

Ergosterol peroxide, an apoptosis-inducing component isolated from Sarcodon aspratus (Berk.) S. Ito.
Among the lipophilic extracts of seven traditional edible mushrooms, the acetone extract of Sarcodon aspratus markedly inhibited the growth of HL60 human leukemia cells and induced apoptosis after 24 h incubation. The major active component was identified as ergosterol peroxide by NMR and ESI-MS analysis. Ergosterol peroxide completely inhibited growth and induced apoptosis of HL60 cells at a c...

As a part of our search for naturally occurring bioactive metabolites from higher fungi, we investigated the chemical constituents of basidiomycetes and ascomycetes fungi (Albatrellus confluens, Albatrellus dispansus, Boletus edulis, Boletopsis grisea, Bondarzewia berkeleyi, Cortinarius tenuipes, Cortinarius vibratilis, Daldinia concentrica, Engleromyces goetzii, Hydnum repandum, Hebeloma versi...
متن کاملIsolation and biological activities of polysaccharide fractions from mycelium of Sarcodon imbricatus L. P. Karst. (Basidiomycota) cultured in vitro.
About 200 species of fungi called as ìmedicinal mushroomsî containing biologically activity substances, are currently known (1, 2). The greatest interest in mycochemistry is focused on polysaccharides, e.g., β-glucans, due to their immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Some of them possess antibacterial and antiviral activity. These compounds have been isolated from fru...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of culinary-medicinal mushrooms for the management of neurodegenerative diseases: diversity, metabolite, and mechanism.
Mushrooms have long been used not only as food but also for the treatment of various ailments. Although at its infancy, accumulated evidence suggested that culinary-medicinal mushrooms may play an important role in the prevention of many age-associated neurological dysfunctions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Therefore, efforts have been devoted to a search for more mushroom sp...
