TL;DR: Results indicate that the aqueous extracts of Brazilian L edodes and P sajor-caju mushrooms are potential sources of antioxidant and anticancer compounds, however, further investigations are needed to exploit their valuable therapeutic uses and to elucidate their modes of action.

TL;DR: This review will focus on general nutritional compounds and pharmacological properties of L. edodes.

TL;DR: The cytotoxic activity of several aqueous and organic extracts of the aerial parts of this plant was superior to that of the obtained fractions, evidencing a possible synergistic effect of different compounds in the whole extracts.

TL;DR: Root samples revealed activity against all tested cell lines regardless of fertilization rate, whereas leaves were effective only against HeLa cell line, suggesting S. minor could be a source of natural bioactive compounds, while fertilization could increase phenolic compounds content.

TL;DR: This extract showed antioxidant properties, antibacterial activity against MRSA and MSSA and cytotoxicity against NCI-H460, MCF-7 and HeLa, and as the extract showed capacity to inhibit NO production in Raw 264.7 macrophages, molecular docking studies were performed to provide insights into the anti-inflammatory mechanism of action, through COX-2 inhibition by the phenolic acids identified.
