Abstract:
The contents of polysaccharides, triterpenes, ganoderic acid A, ganoderic acid C1 and ganoderic acid F in Kangding
Ganoderma leucocontextum were analyzed by pharmacopoeia and HPLC. The antioxidant activities were evaluated by DPPH· and ABTS
+· scavenging abilities and total antioxidant capacity, and hypoglycemic activities were evaluated by the inhibitory effect on
α-amylase and
α-glucosidase activities. The results showed that the contents of polysaccharides and triterpenes in Kangding
Ganoderma leucocontextum were 1.15% and 1.50%, and the contents of ganoderic acid A, ganoderic acid C1 and ganoderic acid F were 0.052%, 0.020% and 0.064%, respectively. The antioxidant activities and hypoglycemic activities
in vitro showed that IC
50 values of polysaccharide extract for DPPH· and ABTS
+· scavenging were 0.75 mg/mL and 1.24 mg/mL, and IC
50 values of
α-amylase and
α-glucosidase activities were 1.45 mg/mL and 1.97 mg/mL, respectively. The IC
50 values of triterpenoids extract for DPPH· and ABTS
+· radical scavenging were 0.65 mg/mL and 1.06 mg/mL, and the IC
50 values of
α-amylase and
α-glucosidase activities were 1.44 mg/mL and 1.09 mg/mL, respectively. The results of this study show that Kangding
Ganoderma leucocontextum contain high content of functional components, and presented favourable antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities, which would provide the theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Kangding
Ganoderma leucocontextum in food, medicine and health products.
