Product Description
Ganoderlactone D has inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase in yeast with IC50 of 41.7 μM.
Ganoderlactone D is a naturally occurring triterpenoid isolated from the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom). It demonstrates inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase, making it a potential candidate for anti-diabetic research. Ganoderlactone D is classified as a highly oxygenated lanostane derivative.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
alpha-Glucosidase (IC50: 41.7 uM in yeast)
ln Vitro
In vitro enzyme assays demonstrate that Ganoderlactone D exhibits potent inhibitory activity against yeast alpha-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 41.7 uM. This inhibitory effect is comparable to other known alpha-glucosidase inhibitors from natural sources. The compound's highly oxygenated lanostane structure contributes to its enzyme inhibition profile. No other specific biological activities (e.g., cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory) have been reported for this compound.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo data available for Ganoderlactone D. As an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, it has potential for postprandial blood glucose reduction in animal models of diabetes. Related compounds from Ganoderma lucidum have demonstrated hypoglycemic effects in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In vivo studies would involve oral administration of the compound (e.g., 10-100 mg/kg) prior to a glucose load and measurement of blood glucose levels at multiple time points (0-120 minutes).
Enzyme Assay
Recombinant or yeast alpha-glucosidase enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of Ganoderlactone D (0.1-1000 uM) in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) at 37degC for 10 minutes. The substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG, 5 mM) is added to initiate the reaction. After incubation for 20-30 minutes, the reaction is terminated by adding sodium carbonate (Na2CO3, 1 M). The amount of released p-nitrophenol is measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. The percentage of enzyme inhibition is calculated relative to control wells without inhibitor. IC50 values are determined by fitting dose-response curves using non-linear regression analysis (IC50 = 41.7 uM).
Cell Assay
No published cell-based assays for Ganoderlactone D. For intestinal alpha-glucosidase inhibition studies, Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells can be used. Cells are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS and grown to confluence on transwell inserts. Differentiated Caco-2 cells express brush border alpha-glucosidases. Cells are treated with Ganoderlactone D (10-200 uM) for 30-60 minutes, followed by addition of maltose or sucrose as substrate. Glucose produced from disaccharide hydrolysis is measured by glucose oxidase-peroxidase (GOD-POD) colorimetric assay. Inhibition of glucose production indicates alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assay.
Animal Protocol
No published in vivo animal study for Ganoderlactone D. Based on its alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, a typical in vivo protocol would involve oral administration of Ganoderlactone D (10-100 mg/kg) to ICR mice or Sprague-Dawley rats. The compound is formulated in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) or 10% DMSO in saline. After 30 minutes, sucrose or maltose (2 g/kg) is administered orally. Blood samples are collected from the tail vein at 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes post-glucose load. Blood glucose levels are measured using a glucometer or glucose assay kit. The area under the curve (AUC) for blood glucose is calculated. Reduction in AUC compared to control indicates in vivo alpha-glucosidase inhibition.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific pharmacokinetic data for Ganoderlactone D. As a triterpenoid with high molecular weight (474.59) and LogP 1.4, its oral bioavailability may be moderate. Based on related Ganoderma triterpenoids (ganoderic acids), oral absorption is likely but may be limited by poor aqueous solubility. Metabolism would occur in the liver via phase I (oxidation, reduction) and phase II (conjugation) enzymes. Plasma half-life and clearance have not been determined. Solubility: soluble in DMSO (typical solubility ~20-50 mg/mL).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data for Ganoderlactone D. Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids as a class are considered to have low toxicity. In traditional medicine, Ganoderma lucidum has been used for centuries with minimal adverse effects. Acute toxicity studies of related triterpenoids in rodents show LD50 values > 2000 mg/kg. Chronic administration (90 days) at doses up to 500 mg/kg is generally well tolerated. No significant genotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, or nephrotoxicity has been reported. For research use only.
