Abstract and Figures

To search for active anti-cancer constituents in the fruiting body of Ganoderma calidophilum, we have successfully isolated four previously undescribed spiro-lactone lanostane triterpenoids (spiroganocalitones A-D), two previously undescribed lanostanoids (ganodecalones A and B) together with twenty-three known ones. The structures of the six previously undescribed compounds were elucidated based on 1D, 2D-NMR, and HRMS analyses. Ganoderone A showed moderate cytotoxic activity against K562, BEL7402, and SGC790 cell lines with IC50 values of 7.62, 6.28, and 3.55 μM, respectively.

... Recent research on chemical constituents of Ganoderma species showed that lanostane-type triterpenoids are the main characteristic natural products [4], and more than 400 lanostanoids have been isolated from the fungi of Ganoderma. These small molecule compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their extensive biological and pharmacological activities [5,6], including cytotoxic [7][8][9], hepatoprotective [10,11], anti-inflammatory [12][13][14], antidiabetic [15,16], neuroprotective [17], antiviral [18], antiaging [19], and antioxidant [20][21][22] effects. The genus Ganoderma is used as a healthy food and has been traditionally used for the prevention of numerous diseases or various pathological conditions, including complementary cancer therapy, especially a broad-spectrum application for the treatment of cancer. ...
... Ganoderma luteomarginatum, used as folk medicinal Ganoderma species, is a rare species mainly distributed in Hainan Province in China [25], where a pharmacodynamic molecular basis has been brought into focus in recent years [26,27]. In our ongoing endeavor to explore bioactive natural products, several species of Ganoderma have been studied, and a series of active compounds have been found [7,15,[28][29][30][31]. The fruiting bodies of G. luteomarginatum have been widely used as a healthy food to prevent tumors. ...
... In addition, three ganoderic aldehydes (5, 23, 24) and one ganoderic acid (3) were also found. The β-configuration of OH-15 in new ganoderic acid (3) from G. luteomarginatum was consistent with the previously discovered ganoderic acid derivatives from this fungus [27], which was opposite of that shown in the corresponding compounds from other Ganoderma species [7,12,50]. Moreover, norlanostanoids with 24 carbon atoms often occur in Ganoderma. ...

Macrofungus Ganoderma luteomarginatum is one of the main species of Ganoderma fungi distributed in Hainan province of China, the fruiting bodies of which have been widely used in folk as a healthy food to prevent tumors. To explore the potential cytotoxic constituents from G. luteomarginatum, the phytochemical investigation on the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of 95% ethanolic extract from the fruiting bodies of this fungus led to the isolation of twenty-six lanostane triterpenoids (1–26), including three undescribed ones (1–3), together with eight ergostane steroids (27–34). The structures of three new lanostane triterpenoids were elucidated as lanosta-7,9(11)-dien-3β-acetyloxy-24,25-diol (1), lanosta-7,9(11)-dien-3-oxo-24,26-diol-25-methoxy (2), and lanosta-8,20(22)-dien-3,11,23-trioxo-7β,15β-diol-26-oic acid methyl ester (3) by the analysis of 1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS spectroscopic data. All isolates were assayed for their cytotoxic activities using three human cancer cell lines (K562, BEL-7402, and SGC-7901) and seven lanostane triterpenoids (1, 2, 7, 13, 18, 22, and 24), and one ergostane steroid (34) showed definite cytotoxicity with IC50 values that ranged from 6.64 to 47.63 μg/mL. Among these cytotoxic lanostane triterpenoids, compounds 2 and 13 showed general cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines, while compounds 1 and 18 exhibited significant selective cytotoxicity against K562 cells with IC50 values of 8.59 and 8.82 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the preliminary structure–cytotoxicity relationships was proposed.
... The evaluation of cytotoxicity showed that compound 358 had no inhibitory effect against HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480 cell lines [62]. Huang et al. [53] searched for active anticancer components in the fruiting bodies of G. calidophilum and isolated a previously undescribed lanostanoid species named as ganodecalone B (359). Phytochemical investigation of lanostane triterpenoids from G. luteomarginatum isolated two types of previously undescribed C29 structures named as (5α, 23E)-27-norlanosta-8,23-dien-3,7,25-trione (360) and (5α,23E)-27-nor-3β-hydroxylanosta-8,23-dien-7,25dione (361) with an unusual 27-nor-lanostane carbon skeleton [285]. ...

A review of Ganoderma triterpenoids and their bioactivities. Biomolecules, Special Issue Fungal Metabolism - Enzymes and Bioactive Compounds II, 13 (1), 24 (2023). doi:10.3390/biom13010024. hal-03912698 ___ For centuries, Ganoderma has been used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries to prevent and treat various diseases. Numerous publications are stating that Ganoderma species have a variety of beneficial medicinal properties, and investigations on different metabolic regulations of Ganoderma species, extracts or isolated compounds have been performed both in vitro and in vivo. However, it has frequently been questioned whether Ganoderma is simply a dietary supplement for health or just a useful "medication" for restorative purposes. More than 600 chemical compounds including alkaloids, meroterpenoids, nucleobases, nucleosides, polysaccharides, proteins, steroids and triterpenes were extracted and identified from Ganoderma, with triterpenes serving as the primary components. In recent years, Ganoderma triterpenes and other small molecular constituents have aroused the interest of chemists and pharmacologists. Meanwhile, considering the significance of the triterpene constituents in the development of new drugs, this review describes 495 compounds from 25 Ganoderma species published between 1984 and 2022, commenting on their source, biosynthetic pathway, identification, biological activities and biosynthesis, together with applications of advanced analytical techniques to the characterization of Ganoderma triterpenoids.
