Holistic Evaluation of Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes): Unraveling Its Medicinal and Therapeutic Potentials

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
Key Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) metabolites and their therapeutic roles. Lentinic acid, shiitakeols A/B, and lanostanoids show anti‐inflammatory activity; lentinan and latcripin derivatives possess anticancer effects; sterols, β‐glucans, and eritadenine are hepatoprotective.

Specificities of Ricinus communis agglutinin 120 interaction with sulfated galactose

, 2011
Lectins are used extensively as research tools to detect and target specific oligosaccharide sequences. Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA120) recognizes non-reducing terminal β-d-galactose (Galβ) and its specificities of interactions with neutral and ...

Evolutionary Evidence of Algal Polysaccharide Degradation Acquisition by Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora 9T to Adapt to Macroalgal Niches

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
About half of seaweed biomass is composed of polysaccharides. Most of these complex polymers have a marked polyanionic character. For instance, the red algal cell wall is mainly composed of sulfated galactans, agars and carrageenans, while brown algae ...

Purification, cloning, characterization and essential amino acid residues analysis of a new ι-carrageenase from Cellulophaga sp. QY3.

PLoS ONE, 2013
ι-Carrageenases belong to family 82 of glycoside hydrolases that degrade sulfated galactans in the red algae known as ι-carrageenans. The catalytic mechanism and some substrate-binding residues of family GH82 have been studied but the substrate ...

Bimetallic nanoparticles with sulfated galactan eliminate Vibrio parahaemolyticus in shrimp Penaeus vannamei

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
Bimetallic (Au/Ag) nanoparticles (BNPs) have shown enhanced antibacterial activity compared to their monometallic counterparts. Sulfated galactans (SG) are a naturally occurring polymer commonly found in red seaweed Gracilaria fisheri. They are biocompatible and biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Edematogenic activity of a sulfated galactan from the red marine algaeGelidium crinale

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012
The red algae Gelidium crinale (Turner) Gaillon (Gelidiaceae), encountered along the Southeast and Northeast Brazilian sea coast, contains a sulfated galactan presenting a similar saccharide backbone compared to λ carrageenan. Inflammatory effects of other galactans were reported, but not for that obtained from G.
