Abstract:Agaritine, a naturally occurring amino acid and phenylhydrazine derivative found in mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, has gained attention due to its potential impact on human health. The presence of the hydrazine moiety in the structure of agaritine plays a crucial role in its toxicological properties. It has raised concerns due to its high reactivity as chemical radicals. Therefore, research is commonly focused on the potential health risks of agaritine and its possible role as a pro-carcinogenic agent. Howev… Show more
