Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory diseases are typically treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, but many patients develop resistance, prompting the need for new treatment options.
- Research on endophytic fungi, which produce various beneficial compounds while living within plants, shows their extracts may offer anti-inflammatory properties.
- The study found that extracts from five endophytic fungi can counteract inflammation in macrophage cells and identified several potent metabolites, suggesting these fungi could serve as effective alternatives to traditional anti-inflammatory medications.
In the present study, volatile oils from Onopordum arenarium fresh flowers and stems were obtained by hydrodistillation and the non-polar aerial part hexane extract was prepared using a Soxhlet apparatus. The constituents of different organs were identified for the first time by gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. A total of 29 and 25 compounds were identified constituting over 91.
