The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

Three mushroom species—Flammulina velutipes, Paxillus involutus, and Tricholoma pardinum (Basidiomycota)—were investigated for pharmacological activities on mice after intraperitoneal and per os administration of fruiting body extract. In particular, analgesic and spasmolytic activities of the mushroom extracts as well as their effects on the central nervous system were reported. Both methanol-soluble and water-soluble residues separated from methanol extracts of fruiting bodies of mushrooms were used. The mushroom extracts did not show any particular analgesic effects. However, extracts demonstrated algogen activity, especially P. involutus. Significant spasmolytic papaverine-like activity was also observed for P. involutus, as revealed by decreasing intestinal passability and diarrhea. Extracts of P. involutus and T. pardinum produced effects on the central nervous system of mice.
