Description

Ganoderic acid B is a triterpene isolated from a mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderic acid B inhibits the activation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigens as telomerase inhibitor. Ganoderic acid B is a moderately active inhibitor against HIV-1 protease (IC50: 170 μM)[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

HIV-1 protease[3]

In Vitro

Ganoderic acid B (0-40 μM, 1 h) reduces TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β levels in cellular supernatant in LPS-induced A549 cells[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Ganoderic acid B (3 or 6 mg/kg, i.p.) protects mice from LPS-induced pneumonia[4].
Ganoderic acid B (5 mg/kg, s.c.) shows antinociceptive effects in acetic acid-induced writhing in mice[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: LPS-induced pneumonia mice[4]
Dosage: 3 or 6 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.
Result: Reduced Lung dry/wet weight (W/D) and myeloperoxidase activity in lung.
Increased SOD, decreased MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 level.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
