From Mushrooms to Molecules: Exploring Depsidones in Ganoderma lucidum for Antioxidant and Anticancer Applications
mycolabadmin
Researchers studied a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum to identify compounds that could fight cancer. They found nine rare compounds called depsidones that showed promise against different types of cancer cells, including liver, colon, breast, and lung cancer. The compounds were shown to work by binding to cancer-related proteins, suggesting they could be developed into new cancer treatments.
