“…Three fructosides were isolated from stems of CSR. Their structures were determined to be n-butyl-β-Dfructofuranoside (21), n-butyl-α-D-fructofuranoside (22), and n-butyl-β-D-fructopyranoside (23), by using spectroscopic methods [18][19][20]. Saccharides are important chemical components of CSR; two polysaccharides were isolated from CSR and they consist of galactose, glucose, arabinose, rhamnose, mannose, ribose, and uronic acid, and the amounts of the last two components were 10.7% and 10.5%, respectively [21].…”

“…Moreover, studies have confirmed that CSR components, including polyphenolic, polysaccharide, and other chemicals, demonstrate potent anti-oxidation activities. Both crude polyphenol and polysaccharide exhibited superoxide radical scavenging activities [23,[54][55][56][57]. The trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity of crude polyphenol is 3.1 times that of crude polysaccharide [54].…”

“…A glycan was isolated from CSR and it mainly consists of galactose, glucose, arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, and mannose. The glycan exhibits a dose-dependent scavenging activity toward superoxide anion radical [23]. In addition, (−)isolariciresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopuranoside ( 24) and (7S,8R)dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9ʹ-β-glucopyranoside (25) were isolated from water extract of CSR stem [10].…”

Cynomorium songaricum Rupr. (CSR) has a long history of being widely used as a functional food and medicine by different ethnic groups worldwide; CSR is used to treat impotence and premature ejaculation and traditionally used as natural source of tonic food. Numerous bioactive compounds linked with human health were recently identified. In this work, all available information on CSR were retrieved from NCBI PubMed and CNKI database, and the recent findings about the compositions and functions of CSR were summarized. At least 76 bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, organic acids, saccharides, glycosides, and phloroglucinol adducts, were isolated and identified in CSR. These compounds render CSR with pharmacological functions, such as anti-aging, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, and anti-HIV activities, and the effects of CSR on immune system, nervous system, reproductive system, and other bioactivities were well reviewed; results serve as valuable data for further research and for development of human health-related products. However, studies on CSR were far from perfect, and further research is warranted. This paper highlights the components and pharmacological functions of CSR, with the aim to provide a comprehensive review and useful data for future studies and for the development of relevant food products.

“…Some of the biological activities of Maltese Mushroom have been studied in animal and in vitro models [Jin et al, 2014;Shi et al, 2011] and were recently reviewed [Cui et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2014;Meng et al, 2013]. In previous works, the lipid composition of the Maltese Mushroom fi xed oil was detailed, and its biological activity towards intestinal epithelial cells was determined [Rosa et al, 2012[Rosa et al, , 2015.…”

Maltese Mushroom (Cynomorium coccineum L.) is a non-photosynthetic plant that has been used in traditional medicine for many centuries. In this paper, water extracts from the whole plant, external layer and peeled plant were studied to determine the main components responsible for its biological activities, i.e., its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-tyrosinase activities; its cytotoxicity against mouse melanoma B16F10 cells; and its pro-erectile activity in adult male rats. The results of electron transfer and hydrogen transfer assays showed that the antioxidant activity was mainly due to anthocyanins in the external layer, whereas the external layer and peeled plant extracts both inhibited the microbial growth of several Gram-positive strains. In contrast, the whole plant extract had the highest anti-tyrosinase activity and exhibited pro-erectile activity when administered subcutaneously. Overall, this study elucidated which parts of Maltese Mushroom are responsible for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-tyrosinase activities and thus which extracts have potential for use in nutraceutical formulations.

“…1 This herb shows other potential activities such as anti-hypoxic and antianoxic actions. 2 Gang Zhao et al discovered that C. songaricum extracts can functionally modulate the transporters of g-aminobutyric acid and monoamine. 3 Dae Young Yoo et al found that C. songaricum extracts can enhance novel object recognition, cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in mice via improving the hippocampal environment.…”
