The Multifunctional Fungal Ergosterol [PDF]
mBio, 2018 The roles of ergosterol in the regulation of membrane fluidity and structure, as well its role as a target for the activity of antifungals, have been known for decades. Two recent studies, however, demonstrated that ergosterol is an immunologically active lipid that induces pyroptosis and that virtually all steps of its biosynthetic process are ...

A Mechanism by which Ergosterol Inhibits the Promotion of Bladder Carcinogenesis in Rats
Biomedicines, 2020 We previously showed that ergosterol has an inhibitory effect on bladder carcinogenesis. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which ergosterol inhibits bladder carcinogenesis using a rat model of N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl ...

Ergosterol purification from basidiomes of Clouded Agaric (Clitocybe nebularis (Fr.) Kumm.)
Aktualʹnì Pitannâ Farmacevtičnoï ì Medičnoï Nauki ta Praktiki, 2014 Ergosterol (ergosta-5 ,7,22-trien-3β-ol ) is a compound found only in fungi. Ergosterol has medical interest, as it is easily converted into Vitamin D2. In the previous work we have studied 22 species of true fungi. The highest quantity of ergosterol was
