A lower doses of Ganoderic acid A enhance HLA class II-mediated antigen presentation and CD4+ T cell recognition of lymphoma[1].
Ganoderic acid A promots cisplatin-induced cell death by enhancing the sensitivity of HepG2 cells to cisplatin mainly via the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 suppression[2].
Ganoderic acid Ainhibits proliferation, viability, ROS, DPPH, and analyzed the expression of SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3 by Real time PCR in a PC-3 cell in a dose-dependent manner[3].
Ganoderic acid A effectively inhibites the proliferation of human osteosarcoma HOS and MG-63 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and induced obvious cell apoptosis in both cells[4].

Ganoderic acid A (GA-A) decreases the migration and invasion of GBM cells using transwell assay. U251 cells treated with GA-A, as experimental group. U251 cells treated with DMSO, as the negative control group (NC). GA-A obviously reduces the number of invaded U251 cells that goes through the Matrigel. GA-A markedly decreases the number of migrated cell that crossed the chamber. GA-A, ganoderic acid A; GBM, human glioblastoma. *P < .05 compared to NC.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
