Three strains of Ganoderma tsugae (CCRC36065, CCRC37034, CCRC37038) and three strains of Ganoderma lucidum (CCRC36021, CCRC37029, CCRC37033) were cultivated. Their triterpenoid patterns of the fruit body were analyzed by reverse phase HPLC using a gradient elution of acetonitrile/2% acetic acid (1/4 and 1/2). The triterpenoid patterns of G. tsugae and G. lucidum are different. But similar 2 and 3 dimensional patterns are obtained among three strains of G. tsugae. Different patterns are found among different strains of G. lucidum. Ganoderic acid A(1), B(2), C(3) and D(4) were isolated from the ethanol extract of G. tsugae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
