A groundbreaking study by Shinshu University researchers unveiled Inaoside A, a potent antioxidant derived from Laetiporus cremeiporus mushrooms. This discovery underscores mushrooms’ potential as a rich source of therapeutic compounds. Laetiporus species have garnered attention for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antithrombin properties. However, specific antioxidant compounds from L. cremeiporus remained unidentified until now. Through meticulous extraction and chromatographic techniques, the team isolated Inaoside A along with other bioactive compounds. Their findings, published in Heliyon, reveal Inaoside A’s remarkable antioxidant activity, with 80% inhibition of DPPH radicals at 100 μg/mL. This breakthrough promises novel antioxidant-based treatments, heralding a new era in natural product research and healthcare innovation.
