Abstract
Scope: This study aimed to assess the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and acetylcholinesterase activities of fruiting bodies (FB) and mycelium (M) extracts of Morchella esculenta L. collected from various regions of Pakistan. The samples included Skardu fruiting body (SKFB) and mycelia Skardu (SKM), Malam Jaba fruiting body (MJFB) and Malam Jaba mycelia (MJM), Krair Mansehra fruiting body (KMFB) and Krair Mansehra mycelia (KMM), and Thandiani fruiting body (TFB) and Thandiani mycelia (TM).
Methods and results: The IC50 values for free radical scavenging activity of all samples revealed that fruiting body SKFB and MJFB of M. esculenta are significantly involved in relieving oxidative stress. Bovine serum albumin conformation destruction assay showed a significantly increased anti-inflammatory activity of SKFB with an IC50 value of 10.94 ± 0.098 µg/mL. The human red blood cell protection assay showed that TFB has a lower EC50 value as compared to other samples. KMFB and KMM extracts of M. esculenta showed significantly higher anti-acetylcholinesterase activity compared to the standard drug, donepezil. The lower IC50 value of M. esculenta extracts suggested higher efficacy for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Enzyme kinetics results showed that KMFB of M. esculenta is a competitive inhibitor, while KMM and Donepezil are noncompetitive AChE inhibitors. Further, molecular docking, physicochemical properties and ADMET analysis of M. esculenta constituents showed smooth drug diffusion and protection against neurodegenerative disorders.
Conclusion: This study indicates that M. esculenta extracts may hold significant therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases, opening a path for potential therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
