Biodegradative and biosynthetic capacities of mushrooms: present and future strategies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and future strategies for the development of biodegradative and biosynthetic Capacities of Mushrooms, and discuss the current state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI

First electron spin resonance evidence for the production of semiquinone and oxygen free radicals from orellanine, a mushroom nephrotoxin

TL;DR: The formation of an apparently stable ortho-semiquinone anion radical and of reactive oxygen radical species is observed for the first time with a mushroom toxin and may at least partly explain the toxicity of orellanine.

Poisoning by members of the genus Cortinarius - a review.

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the poisonings, the toxins incriminated and their mechanism of action are reviewed; the toxins in question are presumably orellanine and cortinarins.

Peroxidase-Mediated Oxidation, a Possible Pathway for Activation of the Fungal Nephrotoxin Orellanine and Related Compounds. ESR and Spin-Trapping Studies

TL;DR: None of the orellanine-related compounds can be oxidized by the HRP/H2O2 system, showing that both catecholic moieties and aminoxide groups are necessary for observing the formation of the ortho-semiquinone form of orelanine.

Mode of action of dipyridyl quaternary salts as herbicides.

TL;DR: In this article, a specific type of herbicidal activity is shown by certain diquaternary salts of 2,2′-, 2,4′- and 4, 4′-dipyridyl.

Mushroom poisoning caused by species of the genus Cortinarius Fries.

TL;DR: Pharmacokinetic experiments on the nephrotoxic bipyridines suggest that haemoperfusion is a rational therapy of intoxicated persons, even several days after mushroom ingestion, which is comparable to orellanine toxicity.
