Valorization of Polypore Mushroom Phellinus fastuosus by Analyzing Antioxidative, Antiproliferative and Apoptosis Induction Potential

Visualization of the relationship between fungi and cancer from the perspective of bibliometric analysis

“…Anticancer activity of fungal metabolites: The study of the anticancer activity of fungal metabolites is a rapidly growing field, involving the evaluation of various compounds from fungal sources, their mechanisms of action, and biosynthetic pathways on cancer cells [ 72 , 82 , [111] , [112] , [113] , [114] , [115] , [116] ]. Fungi produce a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including, terpenes, polyphenols, and alkaloids, many of which exhibit significant anticancer activity and can serve as candidates or lead compounds for novel anticancer drugs [ 114 , [117] , [118] , [119] , [120] , [121] ]. The mechanisms by which fungal metabolites exhibit anticancer activity are diverse, and they affect various signaling pathways and molecular targets of cancer cells.…”
