Mannitol in Amanita muscaria – An osmotic blood–brain barrier disruptor enhancing its hallucinogenic action?
2013
Hypothesis have been made that relatively high level of mannitol present in the tissues of fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) enables more efficient transportation of these active substances into the brain and thus enhance their total activity. It may have been supported by the fact that hallucinogenic effect after A. muscaria consumption is greater than after ingestion of an active substance quantity which the eaten fungi dose contain.
Theoretical and experimental NMR studies on muscimol from fly agaric mushroom (Amanita muscaria)
2015
In this article we report results of combined theoretical and experimental NMR studies on muscimol, the bioactive alkaloid from fly agaric mushroom (Amanita muscaria). The assignment of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of muscimol in DMSO-d6 was supported by additional two-dimensional heteronuclear correlated spectra (2D NMR) and gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations using density functional theory (DFT). The effect of solvent in theoretical calculations was included via polarized continuum model (PCM) and the hybrid three-parameter B3LYP density functional in combination with 6-311++G(3df,2pd) basis set enabled calculation of reliable structures of non-ionized (neutral) molecu…

Do differences in chemical composition of stem and cap of Amanita muscaria fruiting bodies correlate with topsoil type?
2014
Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) was investigated using a 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach. The caps and stems were studied separately, revealing different metabolic compositions. Additionally, multivariate data analyses of the fungal basidiomata and the type of soil were performed. Compared to the stems, A. muscaria caps exhibited higher concentrations of isoleucine, leucine, valine, alanine, aspartate, asparagine, threonine, lipids (mainly free fatty acids), choline, glycerophosphocholine (GPC), acetate, adenosine, uridine, 4-aminobutyrate, 6-hydroxynicotinate, quinolinate, UDP-carbohydrate and glycerol. Conversely, they exhibited lower concentrations of formate, fumarate, trehalose, α- an…
Muchomor czerwony (Amanita muscaria) jako obiecujące źródło ergosterolu
2012
Ergosterol (prowitamina D) jest jednym z głównych składników błon komórkowych grzybów. Ma on obiecujące właściwości immunostymulujące i przeciwrakowe. Muchomor czerwony stanowi bogate źródło ergosterolu, który po ekstrakcji n-heksanem lub octanem etylu łatwo jest otrzymać w formie krystalicznej. Fly agaric was extd. with n-hexane or EtOH optionally under microwave aid to recover ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β- ol and other steroids. The highest yield was achieved by extn. of the gills, EtOAc was more efficient than n-hexane as a solvent. Ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) jest biologicznym prekursorem (prowitaminą) witaminy D2. Jest to główny steryd błon komórkowych grzybów. Ponieważ rzadko w…
