Abstract:
Mushrooms are appreciated not only for their nutritional value and bioavailability, but also for their medicinal properties. There are a growing number of the studies focused on investigating medical preparation base on natural compounds, including those isolated from a number of fungi species of fungi species. The aim of this study is to compare anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer effects of extracts of shiitake mushrooms and chanterelle mushrooms in an experiment on rats. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 30 white female rats weighing 170-210 g., divided into 5 groups: group 1 included intact animals; group 2 included animals with modelled pathology; group 3 included animals, which received chanterelle extract; group 4 involved animals, which received shiitake mushroom extract, and group-5 rats received the reference drug. Observation of changes over the inflammatory process in the model of carrageenan-induced inflammation in the paw of the rats revealed an anti-exudative effect of varying intensity that made up 36.84% for the of chanterelle mushroom extract and 15.79% for shiitake mushroom extract. The dynamics of trypsin-induced inflammatory process showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity, 32.02%, during the courses of the therapy with chanterelle mushroom extract. According to the indicator of analgesic effects produced by the studied extracts, the highest indicator was reached by the chanterelle mushroom extract (33.53%) that exceeded the analgesic effect of the shiitake mushroom extract (17.65%). Therapeutic and prophylactic administration of the chanterelle mushroom extract in a dose of 10 mg / kg in the model of aspirin-induced gastric ulcer in rats showed a pronounced anti-ulcer effect which made up 66.7% compared with that by shiitake mushroom extract (33.4%) and the reference drug “Altan” (100%). Conclusion. The obtained data have demonstrated the promise of using the extracts of chanterelle and shiitake mushrooms for the therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

Abstract:
Mushrooms, recognized for their rich medicinal and nutritional content, have garnered significant interest due to their potent antioxidant properties. This study investigates the fruiting bodies and mycelia of straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea) and grey oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju). The mushrooms were extracted using distilled water at ratios of 1:25, 1:30, and 1:35 g/mL by soaking in a temperature-regulated shaking bath set at 50°C. The aqueous extracts were analyzed for their bioactive components, including polysaccharides, proteins, GABA, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC), along with their antioxidant capacities using DPPH and ABTS assays. The results indicated that the straw mushroom exhibited higher levels of polysaccharides, GABA, TPC, and TFC compared to the grey oyster mushroom, which contained higher protein levels. Specifically, the fruiting bodies extract of the straw mushroom demonstrated the highest levels of polysaccharides (416.94 mg/g extract), GABA (12.86 mg/g extract), TPC (33.27 mg GAE/g extract), and TFC (9.39 mg CE/g extract). Furthermore, the fruiting bodies extract showed a greater capacity to scavenge free radicals than the mycelia extract of both straw mushroom and grey oyster mushroom, with DPPH assay values of 0.65 and 0.47 mg TE/g extract and ABTS assay values of 2.26 and 1.74 mg TE/g extract, respectively. These results suggest that the fruiting bodies possess higher free radical scavenging potential as an outcome of their high levels of bioactive compounds. Consequently, these extracts indicate promise as natural antioxidative agents and could be effectively utilized as ingredients in the culinary industry.

Abstract:
Mushrooms are a popular ingredient in the human diet due to their flavour, nutritional values and functional properties, in particular, their antioxidant potential. Most mushrooms are consumed after cooking and the impact of cooking methods and durations on the antioxidant properties of various edible mushrooms have been reported. However, the reports on the effect of cooking on the antioxidant properties of Hypsizygus tessellatus (shimeji), a widely consumed mushroom in East Asia, are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of cooking duration on the radical scavenging properties of H. tessellatus. Pleurotus ostreatus was included for comparison purposes. Mushroom samples were prepared raw, boiled in distilled water for 1 min, 3 mins and 5 mins, then blended and centrifuged to obtain mushroom extracts. The mushroom extracts were evaluated for their radical scavenging properties using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Results showed that 1-min cooked H. tessellatus extract exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity (76.6±2.14% DPPH scavenging activity) while extract boiled for 5 mins had the lowest radical scavenging activity (62.9±6.08% DPPH scavenging activity). Thus, cooking time has a significant effect on the radical scavenging activity of H. tessellatus extract. In conclusion, the effect of cooking on H. tessellatus and P. ostreatus can be both beneficial and disadvantageous depending on the duration.

Abstract:
The mushroom Termitomyces striatus is an edible mushroom that grows wildly and belongs to the family Lyophyllaceae. Studies in the last few decades have demonstrated that mushrooms and their active components have beneficial effects on a variety of biological systems. Some mushrooms do exhibit antibacterial properties. Qualitative phytochemical profile was done on the mushroom Termitomyces striatus to establish the presence of compounds responsible for important biological activities. This study also investigated the effect of Termitomyces striatus extracts on certain bacterial strains that included Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa representing the Gram-negative bacteria and Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus representing Gram-positive bacteria. The fungi were represented by Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mushroom was collected in western Kenya, air-dried, and crushed into powder, followed by extraction using water, methanol, and dichloromethane (DCM) solvents. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated using the disc-diffusion method. Qualitative phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, sterols, saponins, phenols, carbohydrates, and proteins. The three extracts exhibited antibacterial against tested bacterial strains. The DCM extract revealed higher effects among the bacterial strains tested. The three extracts showed antifungal effects against C. albicans. However, both methanol and aqueous extracts did not inhibit growth of S. cerevisiae. In conclusion, T. striatus extracts are a promising source of novel antimicrobial and antifungal agents.

Abstract:
Background: Hydnum repandum, Cantharellus cibarius, Ramaria fennica, Boletus edulis, and Craterellus cornucopioides are all wild edible mushroom species from the Kastamonu province. The aim of this study was to investigate antioxidant properties and amino acid contents of these mushrooms.
 Materials and Methods: The mushrooms were analyzed for their free amino acid compositions using a high performance Amino Acid analyzer (Biochrom 30). Also, antioxidant activity and total phenolic concentrations of five different mushroom species were studied by using spectrophotometric methods.
 Results: The mushrooms contained 17 amino acids (g/100 g): Glutamic acid (2.56–1.11), Alanine (1.49–0.54), Arginine (1.62–6.77), Aspartic acid (1.45–0.81), Leucine (1.08–0.64), Methionine (1.05–0.06), Valine (1.05–0.66), Lysine (1.01–0.57), Serine (0.68–0.38), Cysteine (0.88–0.11), Isoleucine (0.61–0.39), Glycine (0.82–0.35), Threonine (0.82–0.44), Phenylalanine (0.66–0.42), Proline (0.60–0.47), Tyrosine (0.58–0.38), and Histidine (0.48–0.22). The total free amino acid (TAA) contents ranged from 169.2 mg/g in Boletus edulis to 89.1 mg/g in Hydnum repandum. These five different mushroom species contain eight essential amino acid species except tryptophan. The antioxidant activity of mushroom extracts was expressed as the percentage of DPPH radical inhibition and IC50 values (mg/mL). The percentage of inhibition ranged from 2.38% to 88.05% and IC50 values ranged from 0.03 to 13.98 mg/mL. The total phenolic content ranged from 0.66 to 7.74 mg/g of dry mushroom extract, expressed as gallic acid equivalents.
 Conclusion: Methanolic extract of Boletus edulis showed the highest phenolic content and strong antioxidant activity. As a result, the significant linear correlation between the values for the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of mushroom extracts was corroborated in all of the investigated mushroom species, with the exception of Craterellus cornucopioides.

Abstract:
Several studies have reported the effects of the consumption of various mushroom species on the testes in animal experimental models. Mushrooms, including enokitake mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes), and vegetables contain adenosine may affect testosterone production. Here, we aimed to elucidate the effects of enokitake and its active component, adenosine, on testosterone production in primary cultures of testicular cells in vivo using mice models and in vitro. The administration of enokitake ethanolic extract increased testosterone production in the cisplatin-impaired mouse model. The direct effect of mushroom extracts on testicular cells was examined and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the mushroom- and vegetable-induced increase in testosterone production mainly involved adenosine. Additionally, the administration of enokitake extract or adenosine to wet floor fatigue model mice promoted testicular testosterone production and enhanced Leydig cell function through insulin-like peptide three level upregulation. Structurally related compounds, including cordycepin, showed lower bioactivity than adenosine. This study showed that the ingestion of adenosine-containing mushrooms and vegetables may effectively increase testicular testosterone production. We conclude that mushrooms with a relatively high adenosine content, such as enokitake, may be useful against aging and fatigue.

Abstract:
Hyperglycemia is associated with a higher risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. Hyperglycemia-induced generation of reactive oxygen species and the endothelial dysfunction largely account for this phenomenon. Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is abundantly found in mushroom. Numerous benefits have been found associated with ergothioneine such as cation chelating, regulation of gene expression, improvement in immunity and bioenergetics, and of most concern its antioxidative property. The aim of this study was to investigate whether mushroom extract and synthetic ergothioneine can exert protective effect on endothelial cells against oxidative stress. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells served as the cell model. Pyrogallol, hydrogen peroxide and high glucose were used to create the oxidative stress condition in endothelial cells. Biochemical assay was used to measure the viability of the cells. It was found that only the mushroom extract could significantly reduce the cell death induced by pyrogallol. Both the mushroom extract and synthetic ergothioneine significantly decreased the cell death induced by high glucose. However, neither mushroom extract nor synthetic ergothioneine have any positive effect on hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death. These results indicated that mushroom extract and synthetic ergothioneine did exert certain level of protective effect on endothelial cells. However, this protective effect is relatively weak. Besides, it is still unclear if antioxidation is the sole mechanism accounting for the cytoprotective effect of ergothioneine. Further investigation is required to examine if other mechanisms are also involved.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Pharmacology and Pharmacy<br>Master<br>Master of Medical Sciences

Abstract:
碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>應用化學系<br>90<br>Tyrosinase or polyphenol oxidase (EC1.14.18.1) is a copper-containing enzyme that is widespread in nature. It is responsible for not only melanization in animals but also browning in plants. In recent years, there is an increasing interest in finding natural tyrosinase inhibitors from plants and microorganisms. The tyrosinase inhibitors should have broad applications, especially in medicinal and cosmetics products in relation to hyperpigmentation. This study was aimed to evaluate the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of water or 50% ethanolic extracts from Graptopetalum paraguayense. The results were also compared with those obtained from the well-known tyrosinase inhibitors, benzoic acid and kojic acid. The results showed that the water or 50% ethanolic extracts of Graptopetalum paraguayense had tyrosinase inhibitory activity on the L-Dopa oxidation by mushroom tyrosinase. It was also found that the inhibitory activity increased with the concentrations of extracts to a certain extent and then leveled off as the concentration further increased. The 50% ethanolic extracts of Graptopetalum paraguayense had higher tyrosinase inhibitory activity than the water extracts, as evidenced by the lower half-inhibition concentration (IC50) needed for this oxidation. As compared to the well-known tyrosinase inhibitors, the Graptopetalum paraguayense extracts showed less inhibitory activity than benzoic acid and kojic acid. The inhibition was also a function of pH, becoming less as the pH was increased. In addition, the inhibition kinetics analyzed by a Dixon plots found that the Graptopetalum paraguayense extract to be a competitive inhibitor for this oxidation. The results of this study implied that Graptopetalum paraguayense had tyrosinase inhibitory activity.

碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>生活應用科學系<br>101<br>Abstract The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of needle mushroom extract addition on quality of raw ground pork during cold storage. The extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol or hot water. The ethanol (E) or hot water (W) needle mushroom extracts were added respectively in raw ground pork by the concentrations of 0、1、3、5% (v/w). The meat samples were stored at 4±1℃and drawn at 2 days interval (0, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th day) for evaluation of pH, Hunter color values, color difference (ΔE), met-myoglobin formation percentage (Met-Mb%), 2-thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) values, and total plate counts. The results indicated that among the ethanol extract treatments, the pork meat samples treated with 5% (E-5) showed a small decrease in the pH value. E-5 samples exhibited higher L (lightness) and a (redness) values significantly (p < 0.05) than the other samples during storage. In the E-5 treatment, slight increases in the Met-Mb% and TBARS values were observed during the storage period, yet, were lower than the control, E-1 and E-3 treated samples (p < 0.05). For the experiments of hot water extract, addition to pork meat at a level of 3% (W-3) was effective to suppress metMb formation as well as lipid oxidation during storage. The antioxidant effects of E-5 and W-3 were further compared to ascorbic acid (AA) and tocopherol (Toc). The data showed that the groups of E-5, W-3 and AA stabilized the pH values compared with the control and Toc groups. Regard to color, E-5 had high values in brightness and yellowness, however, Toc had a high value in redness. During the storage, AA (1.52) showed a minimal ΔE value, followed by Toc (1.75), W-3 (2.08) and E-5 (2.57), which were significantly lower than the control group (4.96) (p < 0.05). The Met-Mb% of Toc (28.38%), E-5 (39.88%), W-3 (40.76%), and AA (45.76%) were significantly lower than control (71.07%) (p < 0.05). The TBARS values (mg/kg) of Toc (2.06), AA (2.31), W-3 (2.44), and E-5 (2.47) were significantly lower than control (2.96) (p < 0.05). The total plate count (log CFU/g) of E-5 (10.10), Toc (10.11) were significantly lower than the W-3 (10.26), AA (10.36) and control (10.44). In conclusion, the raw ground pork added with 5% ethanol or 3% hot water needle mushroom extracts had shown the effects of the stabilization of pH, preservation of color, inhibition of lipid oxidation and met-myoglobin formation effectively at 4℃ storage.

Abstract:
碩士<br>慈濟科技大學<br>放射醫學科學研究所<br>106<br>Abstract Brazilian mushrooms are well-known traditional medicinal mushrooms, and studies have shown that they have certain effects on cellular immunity, anticancer activity, and radiation protection. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential and possible mechanism of Brazilian mushroom extract (BM) and polysaccharide (BMP) on wound healing after radiation injury. In this study, mouse fibroblasts (NIH-3T3) were used to model the model of cancer patients with local irradiation and wound healing after surgery. In wound healing, many factors may lead to impaired wound healing that slows down the rate of repair, delays healing, and even does not heal. The experimental conditions were divided into six groups, including the control group, Brazilian mushroom extract group, Brazil mushroom polysaccharide group, radiation control group (5 Gy), radiation plus Brazil mushroom extract group, and radiation plus Brazilian mushroom polysaccharide group. Brazilian mushroom polysaccharides are high-molecular polysaccharides, which can induce many physiological reactions and regulate physiological functions. The results also show that the Brazilian mushroom extract and polysaccharides have the ability to promote wound healing in cells, confirming accelerated healing by ERK and NF-κB. The polysaccharides inhibit the production of ROS after irradiated by cells. At the same time, the polysaccharides also prevented the G2/M phase arrest of fibroblasts in NIH-3T3 mice after radiation injury. Extracts and polysaccharides both reduced apoptosis and increased cell migration rate after radiation injury. From the results, The Brazilian mushroom extract and polysaccharide stimulated ERK and NF-κB secretion in fibroblasts of NIH-3T3 mice to induce cell activation to increase the rate of inflammation, proliferation, and migration of cells to accelerate wound healing. Presumably related to its Ras and MMP-9 pathway.

The experimental mice were orally administrated high-fat diet (HFD) for consecutive 8 weeks, following by 7 consecutive days of streptozotocin (STZ, 50mg/Kg, ip) plus nicotinamide (NA, 200mg/Kg, ip), eventually which almost caused hyperglycemia and hyperinsulina occurred on HFD-controlled C57BL/6 mice (fasting blood glucose over 150 mg/dl, and ACR over 2 g/mg, alternatively). Inonotus obliquus is a white rot fungus, which belongs to the family Hymenochaetaceae of Basidiomycetes. Recently, there have been reports hat melanin complexes from sclerotia contain strong anti-oxidants. In our study, we detect the effect of hyperglycemia via the toxicity of diabetic nephropathy-prone, which produced by hyperglycemia from the damage of LLC-PK1 renal tubular cells. It suggested that the effectiveness of Inonotus obliquus needed to be conducted for the treatment of type 2 diabetic nephropathy. The preparation of experimental animals started with high fat diet (HFD) administration for 8 weeks followed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ 50 mg/Kg) and nicotinamide (NA, 200 mg/kg). Once fasting hyperglycemia (over 150mg/dl, fasting period), hyperinsulinemia (10 unit), and positive microalbuminuria (ACR, 2 mg/g Creatinine) occured gradually on HFD-controlled C57BL/6 mice, the candidates were divided into 4 groups, (1) saline, (2) Innonotus oblique (IO), (3) rosiglitazone (R.S), and (4) Cordyceps sinensis (CS). Treatment with oral dosing ethanol extracts of Innonotus oblique and Cordyceps sinensis of 1000 mg/kg/day and 300 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks. The result MTT assay will claim the glucotoxicity, respectively in renal proximal tubular cell line(LLC-PK1) in vitro in a concentration-dependent AGE. We found that the Innonotus oblique also improve the glucose tolerance and insulin resistance with increasing TGF-β and NFκB expression kindey of high fat diet-induced diabetic nephropathy mice by western blotting. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed weak TGF-β staining in the glomeruli of native and I.O group, but in the control group the signal was markedly stronger. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that the alcoholic extract from Inonotus obliquus treatment has shown a potential anti-hyperglycemic effect, and significantly inhibited the early stage and late-stage renal fibrosis of glucolipotoxicity-induced nephrofibrosis in high fat diet-induced diabetic nephropathy mice.

Abstract:
Dissertação de mestrado em Genética Molecular<br>Mushrooms and their compounds are widely appreciated, not only for their nutritional but also for their medicinal properties. In fact, the search for various bioactive properties in different mushroom extracts or in the compounds isolated from those mushroom has been the focus of attention from the scientific community working in the area of natural products. The present work has focused on the study of the antitumor and immunomodulatory properties of extracts from three different mushrooms. Thus, the first aim of the present work was to gain insight into the mechanism of action of a methanolic extract of Cordyceps militaris in the non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H460, since this extract had previously been shown to have tumour cell growth inhibitory activity in this cell line in particular. In addition, the second aim was to study the immunomodulatory activity of the Suillus luteus polysachararidic (PLS) extract and of the Morchella esculenta phenolic extract, using the monocytic THP-1 cell line which differentiates into machrophages upon stimulation. The response of NCI-H460 cells to the methanolic extract of C. militaris was studied regarding its effect on cellular viability, proliferation, cell cycle profile, apoptosis and DNA damage. Results showed that treatment with the methanolic extract of C. militaris caused a decrease in NCI-H460 cellular proliferation, a cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 and an increase in apoptosis. Interestingly, treatment with the extract was shown to increase the cellular levels of p53 and p21. Moreover, this study also showed evidence of cellular DNA damage caused by this extract, since increased levels of P-H2A.X and 53BP1 foci/cell were observed. Overall, this part of the work suggested that the methanolic extract of C. militaris affected NCI-H460 cellular viability through a mechanism which involved DNA damage and p53 activation. In addition, preliminary experiments were carried out to gain insight into the immunomodulatory potential of a PLS extract of S. luteus and of a phenolic extract of M. esculenta in THP-1 cells. Results showed that neither of the extracts presented cytotoxicity towards THP-1 cells or induced THP-1 monocytes differentiation into macrophages. Interestingly, the PLS extract of S. luteus caused a dose-dependent increase in the metabolic activity of THP-1 monocytes, probably due to increased proliferation. These preliminary results need be further confirmed and continued in future work. Overall, the work carried out in this thesis further supports the potential of mushrooms extracts in the search for bioactive compounds.<br>Os cogumelos e seus compostos são muito apreciados, não só pelas suas propriedades nutricionais, mas também pelas medicinais. De facto, a procura de propriedades bioativas em diferentes extratos de cogumelos ou em compostos isolados desses cogumelos, tem sido um foco de interesse da comunidade científica que trabalha na área de produtos naturais. O presente trabalho visou o estudo de propriedades antitumorais e imunomoduladoras de extratos de três cogumelos diferentes. Assim sendo, como primeiro objetivo deste trabalho pretendeu-se analisar o mecanismo de ação de um extrato metanólico de Cordyceps militaris na linha celular NCI-H460 (de cancro do pulmão de não pequenas células), uma vez que tinha sido previamente demonstrado que este extrato inibe o crescimento celular, destas células em particular. Além deste, um segundo objetivo visou o estudo da atividade imunomoduladora de um extrato polisacarídico (PLS) de Suillus luteus e de um fenólico de Morchella esculenta, usando a linha celular monocítica THP-1 que se diferencia em macrófagos, após estimulação. Foi estudada a resposta das células NCI-H460 ao tratamento com o extrato metanólico de C. militaris relativamente ao efeito na viabilidade celular, proliferação, perfil do ciclo celular, apoptose e no dano no DNA. Os resultados demonstraram que o tratamento com o extrato metanólico de C. militaris nas células NCI-H460 diminuiu a proliferação celular, bloqueou o ciclo celular nas fases G0/G1 e induziu apoptose. De particular interesse foi o facto de este extrato causar um aumento dos níveis de p53 e p21. Para além disso, este estudo também mostrou ainda evidências de danos no DNA causados por este extrato, dada a observação de aumento quer nos níveis de P-H2A.X como no número de 53BP1 foci/célula. Em geral, esta parte do trabalho sugeriu que o extrato metanólico de C. militaris diminuiu a viabilidade celular das células NCI-H460 por um mecanismo que envolve a ativação de danos no DNA e de p53. Neste trabalho, foram realizadas experiências preliminares para averiguar o potencial imunomodulador de um extrato PLS de S. luteus e de um extrato fenólico de M. esculenta em células THP-1. Os resultados demonstraram que nenhum dos extratos analisados apresentou citotoxicidade para células THP-1 ou induziu a diferenciação desta linha celular de monócitos em macrófagos. De particular interesse foi o facto de se verificar que o extrato PLS do S. luteus causou um aumento (dependente da dose) da atividade metabólica de monócitos THP-1, provavelmente devido ao aumento da proliferação celular. Estes resultados preliminares terão ainda de ser confirmados num trabalho futuro, assim como o potencial imunomodulador destes extratos. De um modo geral, o trabalho realizado nesta tese contribui para a descrição do potencial dos extratos de cogumelos na busca de compostos bioativos.

Abstract:
碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>生活應用科學系<br>100<br>The study is designed to explore the antioxidant properties of mushroom extracts and the effects of extraction solvents; in addition, to investigate the contents and profiles of total phenolics, including both soluble free and bound forms, by applying solvent extraction, alkaline hydrolysis, and liquid-liquid extraction methods. Five mushrooms (Hypsizygus marmoreu, Flammulina velutipes collybia velutipes , Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus citrinopileatus, Lentinus edodes) were investigated and five antioxidant capacities (DPPH scavenging activity, reducing power, ferrous chelating effect, superoxide anion scavenging activity and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)) were measured. The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in the chemical compositions of the samples. Among five antioxidant capacities, mushroom extracts possessed only DPPH scavenging activity, reducing power, and TEAC, which activities were related to the varieties of mushroom. To these three antioxidant activities, Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Pleurotus eryngii were the highest. Pleurotus citrinopileatus had the highest total phenolic content (7.36 mg gallic acid equiv/g), followed by Pleurotus eryngii, Lentinus edodes, Hypsizygus marmoreu and Flammulina velutipes Collybia velutipes. The major portion of phenolics in mushrooms existed in the free form (51% in Hypsizygus marmoreu, 75% in Flammulina velutipes collybia velutipes, 70% in Pleurotus eryngii, 56% Pleurotus citrinopileatus, 69% in Lentinus edodes). The higher content of total phenolics and antioxidant activity were obtained from extraction with 80% acetone with comparision to 100% methanol. Key words: mushrooms, antioxidant, phenolics

Abstract:
The 21st century enters a “post-antibiotic world,” with just a few alternatives for combating antibiotic-resistant microbial strains. The search for new antimicrobials which could overcome the situation of antimicrobial resistance is of prime importance and the need of hour. Herbal antimicrobials pose a plethora of new antimicrobial drug discoveries. Mushrooms give rise to a number of bioactive chemicals that are known to have anti-pathogenic qualities as well as safer and more effective therapeutic effects in the treatment of human diseases. As a result, this chapter emphasises that mycoconstituents might be an alternate treatment regimen and could play a role in novel drug discovery against various infections. This chapter contains information about the potential use of mycoconstituents in the management and treatment of infectious diseases. The approaches illustrate the importance of primary screening of bioactive molecules from mushrooms as a potential step by offering new possibilities for clinical and pharmacological research and development. Traditional antibiotics can now be substituted with newer and more effective natural antimicrobials derived from mushroom extracts to treat a variety of fatal and multi-drug resistant infectious diseases. As a result, this functional food extract might play a significant role in naturally combating infections and offering a comprehensive approach to treatments. Finally, we will go through the mechanics of mushroom antimicrobial potentials and presents an insight into Mycotherapy.

Abstract:
Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler (shiitake) is an edible mushroom originating from East Asia that is widely cultivated and consumed globally. Medicinal and edible mushrooms have been exploited for centuries in traditional and alternative medicines and oriental therapies to treat ailments. Contemporary research findings have endorsed the health benefits of edible mushrooms. Modern clinical practices in Korea, Japan, and China rely on mushroom-derived extracts and supplements. Mushrooms have been researched for their phytochemistry, nutritional, and medicinal properties. In terms of medicinal effects, mushrooms are consumed by health-conscious consumers worldwide for cancer prevention, combating cardiovascular diseases, blood circulation improvement, immunomodulatory effects, and cholesterol-lowering properties. Some medicinal mushrooms, such as the shiitake mushroom, have been utilized for centuries to treat emotional and physical stress, chronic hepatitis, and gastric ulcers. Shiitake mushrooms exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anticarcinogenic and immunomodulatory activities. This chapter details the therapeutic benefits of shiitake mushrooms. Important bio-components in shiitake mushrooms include vitamin E, butyric acid, ergosterol, and oleic and linoleic acids, which make shiitake mushrooms an important anti-atherosclerotic agent. These therapeutic benefits have boosted the popularity of shiitake mushrooms as a functional food.

Abstract:
With the development of food production technologies, the consumers attention has turned to products with specific nutritional and health-promoting properties. For this necessity, today's manufacturers have turned their attention to fortified foods, and a raw material that is found in great diversity and that can be used to enrich food is represented by mushrooms. The purpose of this study consists in determining how the addition of different concentrations of crued polysaccharides extracted from mushrooms and added to milk to obtain new varieties of yogurts can influence its quality. The two mushroom species from which polysaccharides have been extracted are Champignon and Reishi. The obtained analysis showed that the crued polysaccharides extracted from mushrooms consist in carbohydrates (~6% - Champignon mushrooms; ~30% - Reishi mushrooms), proteins (~6.2% - Champignon mushrooms; ~12.6% - Reishi mushrooms) and in a smaller amount in phenolic compounds (~ 0.5% - Champignon mushrooms; ~8% - Reishi mushrooms). To obtain the fortified yogurts, the polysaccharides were added to cow's milk at different concentrations of 0.3% and 0.5% from each species of mushroom. A control sample represented by plain milk that does not contain polysaccharides was also developed. All samples were fermented using commercially available starter cultures. Following the determinations, it was found that the addition of polysaccharides led to a decrease in pH in the case of both types of samples with the addition of polysaccharides from mushrooms, compared to the control sample. The largest decreases in pH were recorded for concentrations of 0.5% added polysaccharides. In the case of syneresis, significant increases were recorded for the samples enriched with polysaccharides, especially for the samples to which concentrations of 0.5% polysaccharides were added (38.02g for the sample with Reishi polysaccharides and 42.22g for the sample with Champignon polysaccharides). The results on the antioxidant activity following the determinations performed recorded the lowest values for the control sample (355?M). The results showed that crude polysaccharides extracted from the two species of mushrooms added to milk before fermentation can improve its properties, but can also affect them, if the concentrations are not exceeded and are not kept under observation.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial properties of the acetone extracts of the mushrooms Macrolepiota procera and Chlorophyllum rhacodes. The microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and assess the antimicrobial effects against three bacterial and ten fungal species. Overall, the tested mushroom extracts had relatively strong antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration for both extracts related to the tested bacteria and fungi was 0.625 – 20 mg/mL. Extract of C. rhacodes exhibited more powerful antimicrobial properties, with ranged MIC values from 0.625 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL. The Acetone extract of C. rhacodes has shown the most antibacterial activity against S. aureus, while the extract of M. procera has not shown activity against S. aureus as against G. candidum. In comparison to the standard antibiotics as positive controls, the antimicrobial activity of studied extracts was less expressed. The results suggest that mushroom species may be used for pharmaceutical purposes in treating various diseases.

Abstract:
Antioxidant activity of the acetone extracts of the mushrooms Macrolepiota procera and Chlorophyllum rhacodes has been screened in vitro by using different methods (DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power assay), and also it has been determined the total phenolic compounds as total flavonoid content. The research findings indicate that the acetone extract of M. procera demonstrated superior antioxidant activities when compared to C. rhacodes. Similarly, the mushroom M. procera displayed a more pronounced effect on reducing power. In addition, the total content of phenol and flavonoid in extracts were determined as pyrocatechol equivalent, and as rutin equivalent, respectively. A higher content of total phenols and flavonoids was detected in the extract of M. procera. The strong relationships between total phenolic and flavonoid contents and the antioxidative activities of tested extracts imply that these compounds have a significant impact on antioxidant activity. The present study highlights that the tested mushroom species exhibit potent antioxidant properties and can be regarded as valuable sources of natural antioxidants.

Abstract:
An abundant supply of low-cost substrate and management of green mold disease-causing fungus Trichoderma are the major hurdles in successful mushroom production. This study aimed to identify the best Agro-based industry’s by-products as a substitute for oyster mushroom production (Pleurotus ostreatus) while managing fungal contaminants eco-friendly. Two sets of In-Vitro [containing 20% extracts, from agro-based industries, such as coffee waste powder, tea dust and Mahua oil cake] and In-Vivo experiments [four substrates such as paddy straw, wood sawdust, paddy husk and banana leaves were incorporated with coffee powder, tea dust and Mahua oil cake] were prepared separately. All the experiments were conducted using a complete randomized design with three replicates. The In-Vitro data [mycelial growth and sporulation of both fungi], In-Vivo data [mycelial mushroom run, pinhead formation and yield] were subjected to ANOVA and DMRT mean separation using SAS 9.1 statistical package at P &lt;0.05. In-Vitro results showed that the Trichoderma mycelial growth was significantly minimum in Mahua (2.5 cM) and coffee (3.6 cM) in comparison to control, whereas, with decreasing concentration of coffee, tea, and Mahua extract P. ostreatus showed enhanced growth. Trichoderma sporulation had significantly affected coffee treatment, and even not sporulate in Mahua treated plants. The In-Vivo experiment proved that spawn run was consistent and significant among the treatments when mixed tea (20 days) and coffee (21 days), respectively, at P &lt;0.05. Treatment wise coffee treated spawn bags took an average of 32.5 days, whereas, in tea-treated substrates, it was more than 36 days to form pinhead. Mahua treated trials showed poor spawn run in all substrates, longer days of pinhead formation, and lower yield. In contrast, the paddy straw + coffee treatment produced a significantly highest yield of 200.67g. When sawdust was the substrate, the addition of tea showed a significantly higher yield of 185.00g than coffee (145.00g). In conclusion, coffee and tea extracts have a significant effect on yield with paddy straw and sawdust while minimizing the growth of Trichoderma.

Abstract:
During the granting period, we performed the following projects: Firstly, we differentially measured glucan content in several pleurotus mushroom strains. Mushroom polysaccharides are edible polymers that have numerous reported biological functions; the most common effects are attributed to β-glucans. In recent years, it became apparent that the less abundant α-glucans also possess potent effects in various health conditions. In our first study, we explored several Pleurotus species for their total, β and α-glucan content. Pleurotuseryngii was found to have the highest total glucan concentrations and the highest α-glucans proportion. We also found that the stalks (stipe) of the fruit body contained higher glucan content then the caps (pileus). Since mushrooms respond markedly to changes in environmental and growth conditions, we developed cultivation methods aiming to increase the levels of α and β-glucans. Using olive mill solid waste (OMSW) from three-phase olive mills in the cultivation substrate. We were able to enrich the levels mainly of α-glucans. Maximal total glucan concentrations were enhanced up to twice when the growth substrate contained 80% of OMSW compared to no OMSW. Taking together this study demonstrate that Pleurotuseryngii can serve as a potential rich source of glucans for nutritional and medicinal applications and that glucan content in mushroom fruiting bodies can be further enriched by applying OMSW into the cultivation substrate. We then compared the immune-modulating activity of glucans extracted from P. ostreatus and P. eryngii on phagocytosis of peripheral blood neutrophils, and superoxide release from HL-60 cells. The results suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of these glucans are partially mediated through modulation of neutrophileffector functions (P. eryngiiwas more effective). Additionally, both glucans dose-dependently competed for the anti-Dectin-1 and anti-CR3 antibody binding. We then tested the putative anti-inflammatory effects of the extracted glucans in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)–induced model in mice. The clinical symptoms of IBD were efficiently relieved by the treatment with two different doses of the glucan from both fungi. Glucan fractions, from either P. ostreatus or P. eryngii, markedly prevented TNF-α mediated inflammation in the DSS–induced inflamed intestine. These results suggest that there are variations in glucan preparations from different fungi in their anti-inflammatory ability. In our next study, we tested the effect of glucans on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of TNF-α. We demonstrated that glucan extracts are more effective than mill mushroom preparations. Additionally, the effectiveness of stalk-derived glucans were slightly more pronounced than of caps. Cap and stalk glucans from mill or isolated glucan competed dose-dependently with anti-Dectin-and anti-CR-3 antibodies, indicating that they contain β-glucans recognized by these receptors. Using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-inflammatory bowel disease mice model, intestinal inflammatory response to the mill preparations was measured and compared to extracted glucan fractions from caps and stalks. We found that mill and glucan extracts were very effective in downregulatingIFN-γ and MIP-2 levels and that stalk-derived preparations were more effective than from caps. The tested glucans were equally effective in regulating the number of CD14/CD16 monocytes and upregulating the levels of fecal-released IgA to almost normal levels. In conclusion, the most effective glucans in ameliorating some IBD-inflammatory associated symptoms induced by DSS treatment in mice were glucan extracts prepared from the stalk of P. eryngii. These spatial distinctions may be helpful in selecting more effective specific anti-inflammatory mushrooms-derived glucans. We additionally tested the effect of glucans on lipopolysaccharide-induced production of TNF-α, which demonstrated stalk-derived glucans were more effective than of caps-derived glucans. Isolated glucans competed with anti-Dectin-1 and anti-CR3 antibodies, indicating that they contain β-glucans recognized by these receptors. In conclusion, the most effective glucans in ameliorating IBD-associated symptoms induced by DSS treatment in mice were glucan extracts prepared from the stalk of P. eryngii grown at higher concentrations of OMSW. We conclude that these stress-induced growing conditions may be helpful in selecting more effective glucans derived from edible mushrooms. Based on the findings that we could enhance glucan content in Pleurotuseryngii following cultivation of the mushrooms on a substrate containing different concentrations of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) and that these changes are directly related to the content of OMSW in the growing substrate we tested the extracted glucans in several models. Using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)–inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mice model, we measured the colonic inflammatory response to the different glucan preparations. We found that the histology damaging score (HDS) resulting from DSS treatment reach a value of 11.8 ± 2.3 were efficiently downregulated by treatment with the fungal extracted glucans, glucans extracted from stalks cultivated at 20% OMSWdownregulated to a HDS value of 6.4 ± 0.5 and at 80% OMSW showed the strongest effects (5.5 ± 0.6). Similar downregulatory effects were obtained for expression of various intestinal cytokines. All tested glucans were equally effective in regulating the number of CD14/CD16 monocytes from 18.2 ± 2.7 % for DSS to 6.4 ± 2.0 for DSS +glucans extracted from stalks cultivated at 50% OMSW. We finally tested glucans extracted from Pleurotuseryngii grown on a substrate containing increasing concentrations of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) contain greater glucan concentrations as a function of OMSW content. Treatment of rat Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) transiently transfected with Nf-κB fused to luciferase demonstrated that glucans extracted from P. eryngii stalks grown on 80% OMSWdownregulatedTNF-α activation. Glucans from mushrooms grown on 80% OMSW exerted the most significant reducing activity of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated J774A.1 murine macrophages. The isolated glucans were tested in vivo using the Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) induced colitis in C57Bl/6 mice and found to reduce the histology damaging score resulting from DSS treatment. Expression of various intestinal cytokines were efficiently downregulated by treatment with the fungal extracted glucans. We conclude that the stress-induced growing conditions exerted by OMSW induces production of more effective anti-inflammatory glucans in P. eryngii stalks.

Abstract:
medicine, industry, and biotechnology. Fungi produce a wide range of bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, antibiotics, antifungals, immunomodulators, anticancer agents, enzymes, and vitamins. However, these compounds are often locked inside the fungal cell wall, which is composed of chitin, a tough substance that is dif�icult to digest by humans1. Therefore, it is essential to have a good extraction technique that can break down the chitin and release the valuable compounds from the fungi, this is especially essential in the laboratory for accurate lab assays and potency determination during routine HPLC chromatography analysis. During licensure and/ or certi�ication any given lab will be required to take a pro�iciency test which gauges the lab’s pro�iciency at measuring a given matrices for accurate evaluation. They evaluate our abilities to run the gear and accurately measure the potency of what was extracted; however, at the time of this writing none existed for extraction of the fungal material itself, so this remains a variable between testing labs. It is important that we openly share our extraction techniques for evaluating fungi materials speci�ically for the clean extraction of active alkaloids for which potency can be measure via chromatography and/or spectrometry devices. In this way hopefully creating less variables between testing lab and more concise results. In this paper, we present a novel sample prep and extraction technique for fungi that uses speci�ic solvent composition in conjunction with M.A.E (microwave assisted extraction) in 75% methanol , 25% water which helps break the cell wall to release the compounds. Also used is an ultrasonication unit and vortex mixer. Our technique quickly releases all the available alkaloids for accurate chromatography measurements in just two hours, forty-�ive minutes with minimal handling. We demonstrate the effectiveness and ef�iciency of our technique by applying it to magic mushroom fruit bodies for the extraction of tryptamines namely psilocybin and its active derivative psilocin; however, this technique can be used for other species of fungi and compounds like Cordyceps/ cordycepin or Lions’ mane/ erinacines, etc.. We also compare our technique with other popular methods in terms of extraction techniques, digestion times and solvent compositions. Our results show that our technique is superior to the others in terms of time and effectiveness while pulling all the active compounds and not degrading them. Our extraction technique for fungi chromatography analysis offers a new and improved way to access the natural products of fungi and explore their potential for various biotechnological applications. We hope that our technique will inspire further research and innovation in the field of fungal extraction and natural product.
