Immunoceuticals isolated from more than 30 mushroom species have demonstrated anticancer properties in animals, but many fewer have been involved in human cancer research. Of those that are studied in human cancer, all are classified chemically as β-D-glucans (linear polymers of D-glucose with monosaccharides attached) bound to proteins. Collectively they are known as “proteoglycans.” Polysaccharide K (PSK) and polysaccharide peptide (PSP) are the only two proteoglycans that have been systematically investigated in human cancer 7. They are chemically...

A Turkey Tails Polysaccharide as an Immunochemotherapy Agent in Cancer Kathy Abascal, B.S., J.D., R.H. (AHG), and Eric Yarnell, N.D., R.H. (AHG) Abstract Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor (turkey tails) is a medic­inal mushroom containing a number of protein-bound polysaccharides that have shown strong potential in the treatment of cancer. This discussion examines the use of Polysaccha­ride Krestin (PSK), a proprietary polysaccharide extracted from T. versicolor, in the treatment of gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and esophageal cancers. PSK has been...

Medicinal Value of Turkey Tail Fungus Trametes versicolor (L.:Fr.) Pilat (Aphyllophoromycetideae). A Literature Review* Christopher R. Hobbs Institute for Natural Products Research, Davis, California, USA ABSTRACT: Trametes (= Coriolus ) versicolor (L.:Fr.) Pilat, is a small, flexible polypore fungus that is an important part of the forest ecology as a recycler of dead and dying trees in forests throughout the world. Of all the mushrooms used today for their medicinal qualities, more research has been performed on this species than any other, including shiitake (Lentinus...

ABSTRACT Objective: The goal of this in vitro study was to test the cytostatic and cytotoxic activities of extracts derived from the polysaccharopeptide (PSP), I’m-Yunity,™ (Integrated Chinese Medicine Holdings Ltd., Kowloon, Hong Kong) prepared from strain Cov-1 of the mushroom Coriolus versicolor. Design: Different volumes of 70% ethanol and water extracts of I’m-Yunity were incubated with cultures of human promyelocytic leukemic HL-60 cells, and compared to nontreated control cells. At various times after treatment, cells were harvested and analyzed with...
