ganoderic acid ε

Ganoderic acid ε, a naturally occurring terpenoid, is extracted from the Fungus Ganoderma lucidum. This compound possesses an ED 50 value of 12.2 μg mL, as demonstrated in its impact on Meth-A tumor cells.

The binding affinities of ganoderic acid DM andGanoderic acid ζ (ΔGbind, -16.83 and-10.99 kcal mol-1) are comparable to that of current commercial drug oseltamivir (-23.62 kcal mol-1);Ganoderic acid DM is a potential source of anti-influenza ingredient, with novel binding pattern and advantage over oseltamivir, it has steric hindrance on the 150 cavity of N1 protein, and exerts activities across the H274Y and N294S mutations, is the attractive candidates of novel neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors.Ganoderic acid zeta has cytotoxicity in vitro against Meth-A and LLC cell lines.
