Evaluation of Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant Activity, and Anticancer Potential of Wild Ganoderma lucidum Extracts from High-Altitude Regions of Nepal

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) collected from high mountains in Nepal to understand its health benefits. They tested different ways to extract beneficial compounds from the mushroom and found that using ethanol was most effective. The extracts showed strong cancer-fighting properties against cervical cancer cells and powerful antioxidant effects that may help protect the body from damage. These findings suggest this Himalayan mushroom has real therapeutic potential for treating cancer and other diseases.

Antioxidant, Antibacterial and Dyeing Potential of Crude Pigment Extract of Gonatophragmium triuniae and Its Chemical Characterization

Scientists discovered a rare orange-pigment-producing fungus called Gonatophragmium triuniae that has useful medicinal and practical applications. The fungus produces a natural pigment that can kill bacteria, protect against oxidative damage, and effectively dye cotton fabrics without toxic chemicals. The main active compound was identified as a phenoxazine derivative, suggesting potential uses in textiles, pharmaceuticals, and natural cosmetics as a safe alternative to synthetic pigments and antibiotics.

Chemical Composition, Bioactive Compounds, and Antioxidant Activity of Two Wild Edible Mushrooms Armillaria mellea and Macrolepiota procera from Two Countries (Morocco and Portugal)

This study compared two edible wild mushrooms (honey fungus and parasol mushroom) from Morocco and Portugal to understand their health benefits. Both mushrooms were found to be rich in compounds with antioxidant properties that help protect cells from damage. The research shows that where mushrooms grow—whether in Morocco or Portugal—affects their chemical makeup and healing potential, with Moroccan honey fungus showing particularly strong antioxidant power.

Ganoderma lucidum inspired silver nanoparticles and its biomedical applications with special reference to drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates from CAUTI

Researchers created tiny silver particles using a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum to fight dangerous bacteria that resist antibiotics and are associated with urinary catheter infections. These nanoparticles were found to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria, work as antioxidants better than a common antioxidant standard, and showed promise in killing breast cancer cells. This eco-friendly approach offers a natural alternative to conventional antibiotics for treating serious antibiotic-resistant infections.
