“…Another glycoprotein (FIII-2-b), extracted from the fruiting body of Agaricus blazei Murill, exhibits a remarkable antitumor activity. The antitumor activity of FIII-2-b is not from the polysaccharide or the protein portion, but is expressed as a result of binding of the polysaccharide portions and the protein portions into a complex [9]. Moreover, some researchers have found that the fractions with high protein content exhibit strong antitumor activity [10,11].…”

“…O Agaricus blazei (5%) poderia agir como um inibidor enzimático das enzimas que possuem atividade hemorrágica e proteolítica presentes no veneno botrópico ou poderia possuir uma ação anti-toxina direta ou ainda, inibir a via da ciclooxigenase (produtos ecosanóides). Também, não se pode excluir a ação do Agaricus blazei sobre os mecanismos imunológicos, já que sua principal ação é anti-tumoral 13 .…”

“…According to Mizuno et al (1995a), one of the pioneer studies regarding the antitumor activity of mushrooms was published by Ikegawa et al (1968). Theses authors described potent antitumor activity in aqueous extracts of some mushrooms, including members of the Polyporaceae family, to which Ganoderma lucidum belongs.…”

“…Although there is no commercial production of the purified compound responsible for the medicinal properties of A. blazei, several studies have been carried out to isolate and characterize A. blazei polysaccharides with antitumor activity (Kawagishi et al, 1989;Mizuno et al, 1990a;1990b;Ito et al, 1997;Fujimiya et al, 1999). Based not only on indigenous or Oriental traditions, but also on experiments in which many mushrooms have been screened for substances with pharmacological properties, it is currently accepted that host edible mushrooms have some pharmacological property.…”
