Anti-cancer compound from medicinal mushrooms

Various mushrooms have been used as folk medicine for long times, the higher Basidiomycetes have become a matter of great interest due to their diverse nutritional, medicinal, and pharmacological properties. 650 species and intraspecific taxa from 182 genera of higher Hetero- and Homo-basidiomycetes have been listed that contain biological active anti-tumor and immunostimulative polysaccharides...

7-Chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-l(3H)-isobenzofurane and Basidalin: Antibiotic Secondary Metabolites from Leucoagaricus cameifolia Gillet (Basidiomycetes)

Two antibiotic metabolites were isolated from cultures of Leucoagaricus cameifolia. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The first compound, 7-chloro-4,6-dim ethoxy-l(3 H)-isobenzofurane (1) had to our knowledge not been described from natural sources whereas the second, basidalin (2), is a known metabolite of L. naucina (H. Iinuma et al., 1983). 1 exhibits antibiotic acti...
