Effects of polysaccharides isolated from mushrooms (Lentinus edodes Berk or Agaricus blazei Murill) on the gelation of Pluronic® F127

Agaricus blazei Murill extract‐loaded in alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol) films prepared by Ca2+ cross‐linking for wound healing applications

“…In addition, there was the unequivocal presence of at least five other molecules in its chemical composition: gallic acid, malic acid, pyroglutamic acid, agaritin, and l ‐valine. The polysaccharides (α and β‐glucans) are expected to be present in AbE due to the polarity of the solvent employed in the extraction and method used, similar to that reported by other authors 16 …”

“…6) configurations, mainly. [16][17][18][19] In addition, extracts from Agaricus blazei Murill have shown excellent immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities, which may suggest its potential wound healing activity. 20,21 The traditional use of Agaricus blazei Murill is mainly based as an adjuvant in cancer chemotherapy.…”

“…The biological activities of this species have been attributed to the presence of β‐glucans, free or associated with protein fractions. Such polymers can present glycosidic bonds in the α (1 → 4) or β (1 → 6) configurations, mainly 16–19 . In addition, extracts from Agaricus blazei Murill have shown excellent immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities, which may suggest its potential wound healing activity 20,21 …”

Critical review on chemical compositions and health-promoting effects of mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill

“…The authors suggested high molecular weight of triple helical structure may be responsible for immunopotentiation activity, but few data can indicate was independent of any specific ordered structure. More recently, Menezes et al (2022) demonstrated that AbM polysaccharides (AbMP) had good rheological properties, and which can be used to develop pharmaceutical formulations with antioxidant activity and low cytotoxicity to human neutrophils. Furthermore, sulfated-modified AbMP were claimed to increase their anti-HIV pharmacological activity, holding the promise for a future biomedical treatment of HIV/AIDS ( Zhao et al, 2021 ).…”
