Illudinine is a bioactive compound derived from the Omphalotus genus of fungi, particularly the jack-o'-lantern mushroom (Omphalotus olearius). It has shown potential in the field of cancer research due to its cytotoxic properties, particularly against various tumor cell lines. Illudinine functions by interfering with cellular processes, including DNA replication and cell division, leading to the death of cancerous cells. Its mechanism involves the formation of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cellular components, ultimately inducing apoptosis in target cells.
