Triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum

In the research of Ganoderma lucidum in various countries, the chemical components of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body and mycelium and triterpenoids (namely, ganoderic acid) are the most detailed and clear in structure, which can be widely used by modern science and medicine. Triterpenoids of Ganoderma lucidum are the vane of tumor inhibition research of Ganoderma lucidum. There are more and more international expert papers on triterpenoids of Ganoderma lucidum, which prove that triterpenoids are the main pharmacological components of Ganoderma lucidum and the main functional components of Ganoderma lucidum with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, sedative, anti-aging, toxic to tumor cells and anti-hypoxia effects. Experiments show that ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids can rapidly improve immunity, which is manifested by promoting lymphocyte proliferation, improving phagocytosis and lethality of macrophages, NK cells and T cells, directly and indirectly poisoning tumor cells, and simultaneously activating G0 tumor cells that are difficult to kill by individuals and combined toxic chemotherapy drugs.

The unique effects of triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum on G0 cells and their effective inhibition on the recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors make up for the shortcomings of traditional tumor treatment (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) and become the main force of tumor immunotherapy.
