Abstract:
Ganoderma lucidum is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine with dual use of medicine and food in China. Its chemical components mainly include triterpenoids, polysaccharides, organic acids, alkaloids, amino acids and so forth. The triterpenoids mainly include ganoderma acid and ganoderma alcohol. This paper has summarized the pharmacological activities of Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes in anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, liver and kidney protection, immune regulation, blood lipid and blood glucose lowering, and antimicrobial activities in recent years, in order to provide reference basis for the core efficacy e-valuation of high-quality Ganoderma lucidum. It also provides scientific evidence for the application of Ganoderma lucidum in health food and clinical medicine.
