Abstract:
Macrofungi have been valued as medicinal provisions for humankind and are a rich
source of natural anticancer compounds. However, the isolation of such compounds from
macrofungi is challenging. This review highlights the importance and challenges that
meet during an isolation of anticancer compounds from macrofungi. Moreover, it
exhibits the impact of potential anticancer compounds and antioxidants derived from
different kinds of mushrooms in decreasing the risk of cancer. It also displays the
capacity to develop more effective anticancer drugs using natural antineoplastic agents of
macrofungal origin.
