TY - JOUR T1 - Terpenes in Mushrooms: Natural Products with Diverse Therapeutic Activities AU - Şöhretoğlu, Didem AU - Avcı, Eda AU - Kuruüzüm-uz, Ayşe PY - 2026 DA - March Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.52794/hujpharm.1790368 JF - Hacettepe University Journal of the Faculty of Pharmacy JO - HUJPHARM PB - Hacettepe University WT - DergiPark SN - 2458-8806 SP - 61 EP - 71 VL - 46 IS - 1 LA - en AB - This study provides a comprehensive review of the terpenes found in mushrooms and their potential therapeutic applications. Mushrooms are rich sources of various terpenes, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and triterpenes, which possess antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and cytotoxic activities. Notable examples include pleuromutilin, a precursor of the antibiotic retapamulin; ganoderic acids from Ganoderma lucidum with anti-HIV effects; sesquiterpenes from Albatrellus dispansus that are effective against phytopathogenic fungi; and lanostane triterpenes from G. lucidum and G. leucocontextum with neuroprotective effects. The present findings highlight the therapeutic potential of mushroom terpenes. However, the authors underscore the necessity for further in vitro studies to elucidate the mechanisms of action, along with in vivo studies, toxicity investigations, and clinical trials.
