TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activities of Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.) Murrill extracts obtained with ethanol and found that the crude extract exhibited high anticandidal activity on Candida albicans.

TL;DR: The chemical composition of essential oils obtained from the leaves of Pistacia vera, Pistacia terebinthus, Pistacia lentiscus and the resin of Pistacias lentiscUS were analyzed and alpha-Pinene, beta-pinene, limonene, terpinen-4-ol andalpha-terpineol were found to be the major components of antifungal activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the antioxidant potential of both extracts of roots and stems of Rheum ribes was evaluated using different antioxidant tests, namely total antioxidant (lipid peroxidation inhibition activity), DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenges, ferric reducing power (CUPRAC), and metal chelating activities.

TL;DR: Although, I3,II8-biapigenin and hypericin were able to show highest antioxidant activity, they had the lowest DPPH radical-scavenging activities, it can be suggested that these compounds may be used as potential antioxidants.

TL;DR: Agaricus species, particularly Agaricus bitorquis might be useful as antioxidant agents and moderate anticholinesterase agents, and their extracts will probably be used for development of dietary foods, food products and additives.
