Therapeutic Values of Ganoderma Oregonense and Ganoderma Pfeifferi, Mushrooms: A Review
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Spreading of new diseases as well as the weakness of some currently used drugs have directed scientists towards screening for new sources of biologically active compounds. Mushrooms are macrofungi that are famous for being rich sources of bioactive and nutritional compounds from different chemical classes. Out of mushrooms genera, the genus Ganoderma is one of the most famous due to its richness in compounds of beneficial values and generally it’s classified among the well-studied genera. Hence, we are focusing in this review on the therapeutic potentials of the two Ganoderma species G. oregonense and G. pfeifferi. Their description and ecology were discussed. Also, we highlighted their reported biological activities and some of the compounds responsible for these activities.
