Detection of polysaccharides in Ganoderma lucidum extracts

Abstract

<jats:p>Introduction: Ganoderma lucidum is one of the most worldwide known medicinal mushrooms. However, this species of mexican mushroom has notable differences compared to its similar one since it has not been studied enough so it is important to determine its characteristics once it has been cultivated and its extracts have obtained in a standardized form.Method: The polysaccharides of the extracts of Ganoderma lucidum strain CP-145 were measured by the quantum magnetic resonance analyzer MARSIII of Bruce Copen (MARSIII), a proposed technique to estimate values of compounds in the agricultural area, these results were compared with two standardized techniques: Fehling method of sugar reducers and Gas Chromatography - Mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the extracts to be measured were obtained from the traditional culture of basidiocarps (control) and extract of basidiocarps added with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).Results: The results for the MARSIII quantum magnetic analyzer were 4.967 ± 1.016 and 8.110 ± 1.416% in control extract and extract added respectively, by the Fehling´s method 8.784 ± 2.019% and 41.326 ± 1.430% in control extract and extract added respectively, for CG- MS 7.050 ± 1.527 and 18.456 ± 2.937% in control extract and extract added respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Significant differences were found on the Fehling´s techniques and on the GC-MS for both extracts, but not in the MARSIII analyzer detection, which indicates that it is not an adequate method to detect variations in the concentrations of polysaccharides in this type of extracts. </jats:p>

Mexican Ganoderma Lucidum Extracts Decrease Lipogenesis Modulating Transcriptional Metabolic Networks and Gut Microbiota in C57BL/6 Mice Fed with a High-Cholesterol Diet

“…Moreover, we detected more robust similarities between Gl -2 and simvastatin gene-expression activity. Our recent study demonstrated that the addition of ASA in the Gl cultivation substrate stimulates the production of more or new bioactive compounds, mainly the polysaccharides, B-methyl glucopyranoside, DL-arabinitol and ribitol, in comparison with the conventional extract (no ASA) [ 63 ]. This pattern might be the result of biotransformation processes that occur when fungal enzymes catalyze chemical modifications of a compound [ 64 ].…”

“…This study was motivated by the fact that Xanthenedione molecules are crucial heterocyclic compounds that were extensively used for their antibacterial activity, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory drug and antiviral activity . Because of the variety of their applications, the synthesis of xanthenedione compounds has received a special attention and consideration . Specifically, Vitamin‐K nucleus [28.29] shows a variety of biological activities.…”

“…Among others, the xanthene scaffolds 17 are one of the important heterocyclic compounds 18 and are extensively used as dyes, uorescent ingredients for visual imaging of the bio-molecules, and in optical device technology because of their valuable chemical properties. 19 The xanthene molecules have conjointly been expressed for their antibacterial activity, 20 photodynamic medical care, anti-inammatory drug impact, and antiviral activity. Because of their various applications, the synthesis of these compounds has received a great deal of attention.…”
