[PMID: 38474692 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Terpenes and their derivatives comprise a diverse group of natural compounds with versatile medicinal properties. This article elucidates the general characteristics of fungal terpenes and terpenoids, encompassing their structure and biogenesis. The focal point of this work involves a comprehensive overview of these compounds, highlighting their therapeutic properties, mechanisms of action, and potential applications in treating specific skin conditions. Numerous isolated terpenes and terpenoids have demonstrated noteworthy anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects, rivalling or surpassing the efficacy of currently employed treatments for inflammation or skin infections. Due to their well-documented antioxidant and anti-cancer attributes, these compounds exhibit promise in both preventing and treating skin cancer. Terpenes and terpenoids sourced from fungi display the capability to inhibit tyrosinase, suggesting potential applications in addressing skin pigmentation disorders and cancers linked to melanogenesis dysfunctions. This paper further disseminates the findings of clinical and in vivo research on fungal terpenes and terpenoids conducted thus far.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), caused by genetic and environmental factors, usually progresses to heart failure, a major cause of death in elderly people. A diet-associated form of DCM was recently identified in pet dogs eating non-traditional (NT) diets. To identify potential dietary causes, we analyzed metabolomic signatures and gene set/pathway enrichment in (1) all dogs based on disease, diet, and their interactions and (2) dogs with DCM based on diet. Metabolomic analysis was performed in 38 dogs with DCM eating NT diets (DCM-NT), 8 dogs with DCM eating traditional diets, 12 healthy controls eating NT diets, and 17 healthy controls eating traditional diets. Overall, 153 and 63 metabolites differed significantly between dogs with DCM versus healthy controls and dogs eating NT versus traditional diets, respectively, with 12 metabolites overlapping both analyses. Protein-protein interaction networks and gene set enrichment analysis identified 105 significant pathways and gene sets including aging-related pathways (e.g., nuclear factor-kappa B, oxidative damage, inflammation). Seventeen metabolites differed significantly in dogs with DCM eating NT versus traditional diets (e.g., fatty acids, amino acids, legume biomarkers), suggesting different mechanisms for primary versus diet-associated DCM. Our multifaceted metabolomic assessment of DCM in dogs highlighted diet's role in some forms of DCM.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE 2022; 18:55. [PMID: 35948993 PMCID: PMC9367157 DOI: 10.1186/s13002-022-00551-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Yunnan is rich in fungal diversity and cultural diversity, but there are few researches on ethnomycology. In addition, extensive utilization of wild edible fungi (WEF), especially the ectomycorrhizal fungi, threatens the fungal diversity. Hence, this study aims to contribute to the ethnomycological knowledge in Pu'er Prefecture, Yunnan, China, including information on the fungal taxa presented in markets and natural habitats, with emphasis in ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). METHODS Semi-structured interviews with mushroom vendors in markets and with mushroom collectors in natural habitats were conducted. Information related to local names, habitat, fruiting time, species identification, price, cooking methods and preservation methods of wild edible mushrooms were recorded. Wild edible fungi were collected from forests, and morphological and molecular techniques were used to identify fungal species. RESULTS A total of 11 markets were visited during this study. The 101 species collected in the markets belonged to 22 families and 39 genera, and about 76% of them were EMF. A wealth of ethnomycological knowledge was recorded, and we found that participants in the 45-65 age group were able to judge mushroom species more accurately. Additionally, men usually had a deepest mushroom knowledge than women. A total of 283 species, varieties and undescribed species were collected from natural habitats, and about 70% of them were EMF. Mushroom species and recorded amounts showed correspondence between markets and the natural habitats on different months. CONCLUSION The present study shows that Pu'er Prefecture is rich in local mycological knowledge and fungal diversity. However, it is necessary to continue the research of ethnomycological studies and to design and conduct dissemination of local knowledge in order to preserve it, since it currently remains mainly among the elderly population.

Abstract
Gymnopilus junonius (Fr.) P. D. Orton (Cortinariaceae) is a hallucinogenic mushroom, a well-known poisonous mushroom that is widely known as "big laughter mushroom" because it causes excessive laughter in those who consume it. Chemical investigation of G. junonius fruiting bodies was performed, resulting in the isolation and structural identification of three sesquiterpenes (1-3), including a new trichothecene sesquiterpene (2) and a new tremulane sesquiterpene (3). Compound 1 was identified from G. junonius for the first time. The chemical structures of the new compounds were established by detailed analysis of 1D and 2D (1H-1H correlated spectroscopy [COSY], heteronuclear single quantum coherence [HSQC], and heteronuclear multiple-bond coherence [HMBC]) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). In particular, the absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were unambiguously determined by quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The isolated compounds (1-3) were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on human lung and prostate cancer cell lines where trichothecene sesquiterpenes (1 and 2) showed remarkable cytotoxicity similar to that of the control drug, i.e., doxorubicin. Our findings provide experimental evidence suggesting the potential anti-cancer effects of trichothecene sesquiterpenes from a poisonous mushroom.

Abstract
Armillaria mellea, also known as Hazel mushroom, is a delicious food material and traditional herbal medicine in East Asia. Protoilludane sesquiterpenoid aromatic esters from A. mellea (PSAM) are the main active components with antibacterial and anticancer activities. This study explored the antidepressant-like activities of PSAM and its possible mechanisms of action using the open field test (OFT), tail suspension test (TST) and forced swimming test (FST) in mice for the first time. The results revealed that PSAM (1 mg/kg, i.p.) exhibited markedly antidepressant-like activity, which could be reversed by pretreatment with haloperidol (a non-selective D2 receptor antagonist), bicuculline (a competitive GABA antagonist), NMDA (an agonist at the glutamate site). Meanwhile, PSAM also effectively increased the hippocampus dopamine (DA) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and decreased the hippocampus glutamate (Glu) levels of mice, indicating that the antidepressant-like effect of PSAM might be mediated by the DAergic, GABAergic and Gluergic systems.

Abstract
As part of our systematic study on Korean toxic mushrooms, bioactivity-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of Amanita spissacea (Amanitaceae) fruiting bodies and chemical investigation of its cytotoxic fractions led to the isolation of (9E)-8-oxo-9-octadecenoic acid (1), (10E)-9-oxo-10-octadecenoic acid (2), (9E)-8-oxo-9-octadecenoate methyl ester (3), (9Z)-9-octadecenoate-(2'S)-2',3'-dihydroxypropyl ester (4), (9Z)-9-octadecenoic acid (5), and palmitic acid (6). The structures of the isolates were elucidated by NMR spectroscopic analysis and LC/MS analysis. Among the isolated compounds, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity in all human lung cancer cell lines examined, with IC50 values ranging from 255.7 to 321.0 μM and 250.2 to 322.5 μM, respectively. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was also found to be mediated by apoptosis associated with caspase-3 activation. These findings provide experimental evidence suggesting the potential of A. spissacea as a promising natural source for the discovery of novel anticancer drug candidates.
