Extract of the mushroom Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii induces a series of anti-oxidative and phase II detoxifying enzymes through activation of the transcription factor Nrf2
2011-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Activation of the transcriptional factor Nrf2 is a powerful strategy for protecting oxidative stress-related disease. To find novel compounds from mushrooms, the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)-inducing activity of 43 ethyl-acetate extracts of mushrooms were examined using Hepa1c1c7 cells. In this screening, an extract of Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii significantly induced NQO1. This extract also increased...
