Gymnopilus consists of a widely distributed genus of basidiomycetes, especially in tropical regions of the world, such as Japan, Australia, Paraguay, and Brazil. This genus biosynthesizes interesting bioactive compounds, such as sesquiterpenoids, oligoisoprenoids, styrylpyrones, and lectins. In the present study, the aqueous extract of the basidiom...

Gymnopilus consists in a widely distributed genus of mushroom-forming fungi, especially in tropical regions of the world. Literature on Gymnopilus representatives reports the presence of oligoisoprenoids, and styrylpyrones. Considering the large number of secondary metabolites that basidiomycetes might contain, dereplication tools such as GNPS (Glo...

Pleurotus is an edible mushroom from the well-known genus of Basidiomycetes; it is the second-most commonly consumed mushroom worldwide. This genus is characterized by the presence of steroids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides. Recently, Pleurotus has become popular as a functional food owing to its health benefits, primarily because they are a sou...

This work describes the chromatographic fractionation of the aerial parts of Calea pinnatifida, the structural characterization and determination of the absolute configuration of the isolated compounds as well as their antitumor potential. The HPLC fractionation of the CH2Cl2 phase of the MeOH extract from the leaves of C. pinnatifida led to the is...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer represents approximately 75% of diagnosed cases, while 15–20% of them are triple-negative (TN). Although there have been improvements in the therapeutic approach, the mortality rate remains elevated. Thus, it is necessary to identify new chemo...
Article
Bioactivity-guided fractionation of antileishmanial active CH2Cl2 phase of MeOH extract from leaves of Calea pinnatifida led to isolation of two sesquiterpene lactones calein C (1) and calealactone C (2), which structures were stablished on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed potent activity against Leishmania amazonens...
