ESTIMATION OF LECTIN FROM EDIBLE MUSHROOM CYTOTOXICITY AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
lubna majeed
Abstract
Antioxidant tests were used to assess the purified lectin's biological activity. The results showed that it has a strong ability to scavenge free radicals, suggesting that it might be used as a natural antioxidant. A potential function as an anticancer drug was also suggested by cytotoxicity studies conducted against specific cancer cell lines, which showed significant inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. These findings highlight the potential applications of mushroom-derived lectin as a bioactive compound in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. This study highlights the potent antioxidant and anticancer capabilities of lectin, offering new insights into its extraction and characterization from Iraqi mushroom species. The results advance our knowledge of the bioactive substances derived from mushrooms and lend credence to their prospective use in the creation of natural therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer and illnesses linked to oxidative stress.
