[PMID: 37765008 PMCID: PMC10535449 DOI: 10.3390/ph16091200] [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: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The phenomenon of drug resistance in micro-organisms necessitates the search for new compounds capable of combating them. Fungi emerge as a promising source of such compounds as they produce a wide range of secondary metabolites with bacteriostatic or fungistatic activity. These compounds can serve as alternatives for commonly used antibiotics. Furthermore, fungi also accumulate compounds with antiviral activity. This review focuses on filamentous fungi and macrofungi as sources of antimicrobial compounds. The article describes both individual isolated compounds and extracts that exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity. These compounds are produced by the fruiting bodies and mycelium, as well as the biomass of mycelial cultures. Additionally, this review characterizes the chemical compounds extracted from mushrooms used in the realm of cosmetology; specifically, their antimicrobial activity.

[PMID: 35011516 PMCID: PMC8746472 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27010284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Grifolin is a volatile compound contained in essential oils of several medicinal plants. Several studies show that this substance has been the subject of numerous pharmacological investigations, which have yielded interesting results. Grifolin demonstrated beneficial effects for health via its multiple pharmacological activities. It has anti-microbial properties against bacteria, fungi, and parasites. In addition, grifolin exhibited remarkable anti-cancer effects on different human cancer cells. The anticancer action of this molecule is related to its ability to act at cellular and molecular levels on different checkpoints controlling the signaling pathways of human cancer cell lines. Grifolin can induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and senescence in these cells. Despite its major pharmacological properties, grifolin has only been investigated in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, further investigations concerning pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic tests are required for any possible pharmaceutical application of this substance. Moreover, toxicological tests and other investigations involving humans as a study model are required to validate the safety and clinical applications of grifolin.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:38907-38914.

Abstract
DNA methylation and gene silencing play indispensable roles in the epigenetic landscape and gene expression. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), a member of the DNMT family, which catalyzes the addition of methyl groups on DNA has been identified to have a close relationship with tumorigenesis. But DNMT1 inhibitors are rare except for the highly toxic nucleoside derivates. Grifolin is a unique natural product which down-regulates DNMT1 and has low toxicity. However, the poor solubility and stability of grifolin limit its application. Herein, we synthesized PEG5-Grifolin as a water-miscible prodrug of grifolin. The half-life of PEG5-Grifolin at 25 °C was considerably extended, revealing excellent stability. Meanwhile, PEG5-Grifolin suppressed tumor growth of by downregulating DNMT1 and reactivating the expression of several tumor suppressor genes in vivo. PEG5-Grifolin might be a promising demethylation agent for DNMT1 associated diseases and benefit much against various types of DNMT1 associated cancer. In this work, a series of prodrugs of grifolin with much improved solubility and stability were designed and synthesis, which potently downregulated DNMT1 and inhibited tumor proliferation in vitro and in vivo.![]()

DNMT1 mediates metabolic reprogramming induced by Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 and reversed by grifolin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:619. [PMID: 29795311 PMCID: PMC5966399 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-0662-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2017] [Revised: 04/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Cancer cells frequently adapt fundamentally altered metabolism to support tumorigenicity and malignancy. Epigenetic and metabolic networks are closely interactive, in which DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) play important roles. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (EBV-LMP1) is closely associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) pathogenesis because it can trigger multiple cell signaling pathways that promote cell transformation, proliferation, immune escape, invasiveness, epigenetic modification, and metabolic reprogramming. Our current findings reveal for the first time that LMP1 not only upregulates DNMT1 expression and activity, but also promotes its mitochondrial translocation. This induces epigenetic silencing of pten and activation of AKT signaling as well as hypermethylation of the mtDNA D-loop region and downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes, consequently, leading to metabolic reprogramming in NPC. Furthermore, we demonstrate that grifolin, a natural farnesyl phenolic compound originated from higher fungi, is able to attenuate glycolytic flux and recover mitochondrial OXPHOS function by inhibiting DNMT1 expression and activity as well as its mitochondrial retention in NPC cells. Therefore, our work establishes a mechanistic connection between epigenetics and metabolism in EBV-positive NPC and provides further evidence for pathological classification based on CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in EBV-associated malignancies. In addition, grifolin might be a promising lead compound in the intervention of high-CIMP tumor types. The availability of this natural product could hamper tumor cell metabolic reprogramming by targeting DNMT1.

Abstract
In agriculture, there is an urgent need for alternate ecofriendly products to control plant diseases. These alternate products must possess preferable characteristics such as new modes of action, cost effectiveness, biodegradability, and target specificity. In the current scenario, studies on macrofungi have been an area of importance for scientists. Macrofungi grow prolifically and are found in many parts of the world. Basidiomycetes (mushrooms) flourish ubiquitously under warm and humid climates. Basidiomycetes are rich sources of natural antibiotics. The secondary metabolites produced by them possess antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant properties. The present review discusses the potential role of Basidiomycetes as anti-phytofungal, anti-phytobacterial, anti-phytoviral, mosquito larvicidal, and nematicidal agents.

Abstract
Synthesis and controlled release study of polymeric nanoformulation of carbendazim (2-benzimidazole carbamic acid methyl ester) using chitosan and pectin is reported in this article. The formulation was subjected to morphological, physiological, in vitro fungicide release and bio-efficacy evaluation studies. The average size of nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 70-90 nm as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The in vitro fungicide release of nanoformulated carbendazim was compared with pure carbendazim at different pH values. The results confirmed sustained release of nanoformulated carbendazim. The bio-efficacy evaluation of the carbendazim nanoformulation was carried out against Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus parasiticus. The nanoformulation showed 100 % inhibition of test fungi at both concentrations (0.5 and 1.0 ppm) while pure carbendazim showed 80 ± 0 % and 97.2 ± 1.1 % inhibition at 0.5 and 1.0 ppm concentration respectively against Fusarium oxysporum and 86.0 ± 0.6 % inhibition and 100.0 % inhibition at 0.5 and 1.0 ppm concentration respectively against Aspergillus parasiticus. The commercial formulation (WP 50) showed 42 % and 58.0 ± 0.1 % inhibition at 0.5 and 1 ppm concentration respectively against Aspergillus parasiticus and 50.5 ± 0.7 % and 70.0 ± 0 % inhibition at 0.5 and 1.0 ppm concentrations respectively against Fusarium oxysporum. Phytotoxicity evaluation of nanoformulated fungicide confirmed that the nanoformulated carbendazim is safer for germination and root growth of the seeds of Cucumis sativa, Zea mays, and Lycopersicum esculantum.

Grifolin inhibits tumor cells adhesion and migration via suppressing interplay between PGC1α and Fra-1 / LSF- MMP2 / CD44 axes. Oncotarget 2016; 7:68708-68720.

Abstract
Grifolin, a farnesyl phenolic compound isolated from the fresh fruiting bodies of the mushroom Albatrellus confluens, exhibits effective antitumor bioactivity in previous study of our group and other lab. In this study, we observed that grifolin inhibited tumor cells adhesion and migration. Moreover, grifolin reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and caused cellular ATP depletion in high-metastatic tumor cells. PGC1α (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, coactivator 1α) encodes a transcriptional co-activator involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration and play a critical role in the maintenance of energy homeostasis. Interestingly, grifolin suppressed the mRNA as well as protein level of PGC1α. We further identified that MMP2 and CD44 expressions were PGC1α inducible. PGC1α can bind with metastatic-associated transcription factors: Fra-1 and LSF and the protein-protein interaction was attenuated by grifolin treatment. Overall, these findings suggest that grifolin decreased ROS generation and intracellular ATP to suppress tumor cell adhesion/migration via impeding the interplay between PGC1α and Fra-1 /LSF-MMP2/CD44 axes. Grifolin may develop as a promising lead compound for antitumor therapies by targeting energy metabolism regulator PGC1α signaling.

Abstract
Grifolin, a secondary metabolite isolated from the fresh fruiting bodies of the mushroom Albatrellus confluens, has been reported by us and others to display potent antitumor effects. However, the molecular target of grifolin has not been identified and the underlying mechanism of action is not fully understood. Here, we report that the ERK1/2 protein kinases are direct molecular targets of grifolin. Molecular modeling, affinity chromatography and fluorescence quenching analyses showed that grifolin directly binds to ERK1/2. And in vitro and ex vivo kinase assay data further demonstrated that grifolin inhibited the kinase activities of ERK1/2. We found that grifolin suppressed adhesion, migration and invasion of high-metastatic cancer cells. The inhibitory effect of grifolin against tumor metastasis was further confirmed in a metastatic mouse model. We found that grifolin decreased phosphorylation of Elk1 at Ser383, and the protein as well as the mRNA level of DNMT1 was also down-regulated. By luciferase reporter and ChIP assay analyses, we confirmed that grifolin inhibited the transcription activity of Elk1 as well as its binding to the dnmt1 promoter region. Moreover, we report that significant increases in the mRNA levels of Timp2 and pten were induced by grifolin. Thus, our data suggest that grifolin exerts its anti-tumor activity by epigenetic reactivation of metastasis inhibitory-related genes through ERK1/2-Elk1-DNMT1 signaling. Grifolin may represent a promising therapeutic lead compound for intervention of cancer metastasis, and it may also be useful as an ERK1/2 kinase inhibitor as well as an epigenetic agent to further our understanding of DNMT1 function.

Abstract
A new farnesyl phenol named (+)-(R)-grifolinone C (1) has been isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Albatrellus confluens. (+)-(R)-Grifolinone C (1), a dimeric meroterpenoid, is accompanied by albatrellin (2), grifolinone B (3), grifolin (4), and grifolinone A (5). Albatrellin (2) exhibited cytotoxic activity against HepG2 human lung carcinoma cells with IC(50) value of 1.55 mug ml(-1). The structures were established on the basis of spectral evidence (IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and MS analyses).

Abstract
In the course of our investigation on biologically active substances from inedible mushrooms in Japan, Germany, and Vietnam, we studied the chemical constituents of 22 species belonging to five families: Scutigeraceae, Polyporaceae, Xylariaceae, Thelephoraceae, and Paxillaceae. Various types of chemical substances were purified and characterized based on the modern spectroscopic methods and also on chemical reactions. These metabolites have shown a broad activity in many biological systems, such as antimicrobial, nematicidal, inhibition of NO production, anti-human immunodeficiency virus, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and antioxidant activities. These isolated metabolites did not only show interesting activities, but also are employed as chemical markers supported for chemosystematics of these families. This review paper deals with the chemical constituents of 22 species, their biological activities, and also a discussion on chemosystematics.

Abstract
Two new farnesyl phenols named grifolinones A and B, together with known grifolin and neogrifolin, were isolated from methanolic extract of the inedible mushroom Albatrellus caeruleoporus. Their structures were characterized by a combination of 2D NMR, MS, IR, and UV spectra. Grifolinone B was composed of two grifolin molecules, which were connected by a C-C bond. Grifolinones A and B, grifolin, and neogrifolin exhibited inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (NO) production stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW 264.7 cells with IC50values of 23.4, 22.9, 29.0, and 23.3 microM, respectively.
