Abstract

The deleterious effects of oxidative stress caused by accumulation of free radicals in human body has gathered tremendous attention in the recent years. Wild medicinal mushrooms are rich in secondary metabolites that make them effective against a wide range of diseases. The present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant activity of two wild mushroom species; Phellinus baumii and Trametes versicolor from Pakistan. The 80% methanolic extract of each mushroom species was prepared and tested by using in vitro antioxidant assays such as 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging assays. The results revealed that P. baumii possessed remarkable antioxidant activity against free radicals by showing (83.4±0.1%) and (81.9 %±1.0%) scavenging effects on DPPH and H2O2 radicals as compared to T. versicolor. In addition, the total phenolic content was measured by Folin-Ciocalteau assay, indicating the presence of high phenolic content in P. baumii (27.9±2.68 mg GAE/g dw) as compared to 6.18±2.2mg GAE/g dw for T. versicolor. These findings suggested that P. baumii could be used as a source of natural antioxidants in pharmaceutical industry.
