Ultrasonically extracted β-d-glucan from artificially cultivated mushroom,characteristic properties and antioxidant activity

Ganoderma mushroom cultivated recently in Malaysia to produce chemically different nutritional fibers has attracted the attention of the local market. The extraction methods, molecular weight and degree of branching of (1-3; 1-6)-β-d-glucan polysaccharides is of prime importance to determine its antioxidant bioactivity. Therefore three extraction methods i.e. hot water extraction (HWE), soxhlet extraction (SE) and ultrasound assisted extraction (US) were employed to study the total content of (1-3; 1-6)-β-d-glucans, degree of branching, structural characteristics, monosaccharides composition, as well as the total yield of polysaccharides that could be obtained from the artificially cultivated Ganoderma. The physical characteristics by HPAEC-PAD, HPGPC and FTIR, as well as the antioxidant in vitro assays of DPPH scavenging activity and ferric reducing power (FRAP) indicated that (1-3; 1-6)-β-d-glucans of Malaysian mushroom have better antioxidant activity, higher molecular weight and optimal degree of branching when extracted by US in comparison with conventional methods.     

Ethyl lucidenates A reverses P-glycoprotein mediated vincristine resistance in K562/A02 cells

Multidrug resistance is a major unresolved obstacle to successful cancer chemotherapy. It is often associated with an elevated efflux of a variety of anticancer drugs by ATP-binding cassette transporters including P-glycoprotein, BCRP and MRP1. In this study, the reversal effect of Ethyl lucidenates A on K562/A02 cells was investigated. At concentrations of 10 μM, Ethyl lucidenates A could reverse the resistance of K562/A02 to vincristine up to 7.59 folds. Mechanistically, Ethyl lucidenates A could increase the intracellular accumulation of vincristine in K562/A02 cells through inhibiting the P-glycoprotein mediated drug-transport activity by rhodamine accumulation assay and cell cycle analysis. Further mechanistic investigation found that Ethyl lucidenates A did not alter P-glycoprotein expression. In conclusion, Ethyl lucidenates A could reverse the multidrug resistance of K562/A02 cells via its influence on P-glycoprotein drug-transport activity and thus, be a potential multidrug resistance reversal agent.     

Deciphering the chemical composition of Ganoderma lucidum from different geographical origins by mass spectrometry molecular networking coupled with multivariate analysis

Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal fungus that has been widely used in China and many Asian countries for thousands of years. This once rare macrofungus has now been artificially cultivated in a number of regions in China. However, detailed knowledge of its composition across different geographical origins is still lacking, as are analytical methods for comprehensive profiling of the diverse phytochemicals contained in G. lucidum. In this work, an on-demand strategy based on high-resolution MS and molecular networking is applied for natural product characterization, which led to the identification of 84 constituents in G. lucidum. Moreover, multivariate analysis, including hierarchical cluster analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, was used to analyze the (dis)similarity of the G. lucidum samples collected from the three main production areas (i.e., Jilin, Henan and Shandong Province). The results revealed a significant variation in the chemical composition of samples from different provinces. Marker constituents corresponding to the differentiation were then screened in terms of the variable importance in projection value, P-value and fold change. A total of 24 constituents were identified as geoherbalism markers, such as ganoderenic acid A for Henan, ganolucidic acid B for Jilin and ganodernoid D for Shandong. This proof-of-concept application demonstrates that combining MS molecular networking with meticulous multivariate analysis can provide a sensitive and comprehensive analytical approach for the quality assessment of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. This study also suggests that the bioactivity and efficacy from different origins should be further evaluated considering the large difference in chemical compositions.     

Comparison of Chemometric and Chromatographic Methods to Obtain Kinetic Parameters for Textile Dyes during a Biodegradation Process

The concentrations of three industrial-grade textile dyes were determined in a mixture after degradation by the fungus Ganoderma sp, by using the methods of UV-Vis spectrophotometry associated with Partial Least Squares regression and HPLC and comparing the results obtained from both methods. Using the concentrations calculated from the two methods, a kinetic study of the biodegradation mediated by the fungus was performed. The rate constants and the activation energies for this transformation were obtained for each dye in the mixture. The concentration of Remazol Blue R ESP could be determined by the HPLC method, and the value obtained was comparable with the result using the Partial Least Squares regression method. The Partial Least Squares regression method offers advantages over the HPLC method for the quantification of dyes in textile effluents, as it provides the kinetic parameters of the biodegradation reaction.     

Improved Method of Extraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Ganoderic Acids from Ganoderma Lucidum

Determination of storage stability of the crude extracts of Ganoderma lucidum using FTIR and 2D-IR spectroscopy

In this paper, the feasibility and advantage of employing FTIR spectroscopy and the corresponding second-derivative spectroscopy combined with 2D-IR spectroscopy for the analysis of water extracts of Ganoderma lucidum with different storage durations were investigated and demonstrated for the first time. In order to compare the second-derivative microscopic fingerprint spectra from the four periods of storage, the range from 1200 to 500 cm⁻¹ has to be ignored due to the detection of starch in the samples and the standard as well. This is crucial because the main characteristic band of polysaccharide was assigned within this range. The addition of starch as outer constituent was considered spoilage of polysaccharide content investigation. In fact, polysaccharide content in G. lucidum plays a main role as anti-cancer properties. The ranges from 1480 to 1200 cm⁻¹ and from 1700 to 1480 cm⁻¹ were interpreted and directly compared. For the range (from 1800 to 400 cm⁻¹), the 22 months sample was closest to the control, followed by 38 months, 13 months and 6 months product. The matching of the extract spectra with the control was not consistent and depended on which range of spectra had been chosen. Many factors can be considered which may have possibly affected inferences of the composition of the extract from different storage durations.     

Analysis of global components in Ganoderma using liquid chromatography system with multiple columns and detectors

In present study, a multiple columns and detectors liquid chromatography system for analysis of global components in traditional Chinese medicines was developed. The liquid chromatography system was consist of three columns, including size exclusion chromatography column, hydrophilic interaction chromatography column, and reversed phase chromato‐graphy column, and three detectors, such as diode array detector, evaporative light scattering detector, and mass spectrometry detector, based on column switching technique. The developed multiple columns and detectors liquid chromatography system was successfully applied to the analysis of global components, including macromolecular (polysaccharides), high (nucleosides and sugars)‐, and low (triterpenes)‐polarity small molecular compounds in Ganoderma, a well‐known Chinese medicinal mushroom. As a result, one macromolecular chromatographic peak was found in two Ganoderma species, 19 components were identified in Ganoderma lucidum (two sugars, three nucleosides, and 14 triterpenes), and four components (two sugars and two nucleosides) were identified in Ganoderma sinense. The developed multiple columns and detectors liquid chromatography system was helpful to understand comprehensive chemical characters in TCMs.
