Radical scavenging activity of natural antioxidants and drugs: Development of a combined machine learning and quantum chemistry protocol.

The Journal of chemical physics
Many natural substances and drugs are radical scavengers that prevent the oxidative damage to fundamental cell components. This process may occur via different mechanisms, among which, one of the most important, is hydrogen atom transfer. The feasibi...

Overview of the Biological Activities of a Methanol Extract from Wild Red Belt Conk, Fomitopsis pinicola (Agaricomycetes), Fruiting Bodies from Central Italy.

International journal of medicinal mushrooms
Fomitopsis pinicola (Sw.) P. Karst. (Fomitopsidaceae) is a medicinal mushroom with a variety of healthy properties. In this study we tested the radical scavenging activity and antimicrobial and anticancer potential of methanol extracts of F. pinicola...

Extraction Optimization, Composition Analysis, and Antioxidation Evaluation of Polysaccharides from White Jelly Mushroom, Tremella fuciformis (Tremellomycetes).

International journal of medicinal mushrooms
We investigated the sonication-assisted extraction (SAE) conditions of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides. Single-factor experiments showed that the optimal sonication intensity was 6 W/cm2; the other SAE conditions were further optimized using resp...

Optimization of the Production of Extracellular Polysaccharide from the Shiitake Medicinal Mushroom Lentinus edodes (Agaricomycetes) Using Mutation and a Genetic Algorithm-Coupled Artificial Neural Network (GA-ANN).

International journal of medicinal mushrooms
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by a strain of Lentinus edodes was studied via the effects of treatments with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and acridine orange. Furthermore, optimization of EPS production was studied using a genetic algorithm coupl...
