Mushrooms from genus Clitocybe and Tricholoma as potential new sources of CNS-active agents

Le résumé fourni par la source

Novel CNS-stimulating activities were extracted from the fruit bodies of mushrooms from genus Clitocybe and Tricholoma. Fractions active against 5HT5A and 5HT2C receptors, and NET transporters were extracted with methanol, ethanol, cold water and hot water. Their 5HT receptors agonism and antagonism potency were characterized against appropriate receptor proteins. It indicates that the fungi from genus Clitocybe and Tricholoma can be treated as new “magic mushrooms” with CNS-stimulating activities. And these organics are very promising bioactive substances. It means that these mushrooms are a very promising source for potential therapeutic and psychotropic purposes, also.
