I did some looking around. I have no familiarity with this mushroom nor its medicinal uses. Some thoughts:
This mushroom has like 77 known compounds and this study looked at two of them (together, not individually). Western medicine often seeks to isolate "active ingredients" in order to be able to create monetizable drug products.
This may not be such a hot idea. My recollection is that malaria is increasingly resistant to synthetic quinine derivatives but is not developing resistance to actual quinine, an extract from the bark of a tree.
It may be more powerful but overly simplified. It's also problematic to study both compounds together if there are no prior studies on each individually. How do you know which does what?
- sethammons 4y agoCould adapting to quinine derivatives bridge a previously unbridgeable gap leading to quinine resistance? Everything seems to be a web or tied together. Could quinine resistance tip some balance resulting an explosion of malaria? </insomnia-thoughts>
