Edulitin 2, a Ribotoxin‐Like Protein From Boletus edulis That Triggers Apoptosis in Colon Cancer Cells While Preserving the Integrity of the Intestinal Microbiota

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Edulitin 2 is a ribotoxin‐like protein exhibiting a potent antiproliferative activity towards Caco‐2 and HT29 cells by programmed cell death. However, edulitin 2 does not affect gut microbiota growth, despite damaging fungal ribosomes. ABSTRACT Porcini (Boletus edulis Bull.) are a reservoir of pharmacological biomolecules with health‐promoting ...
