Description

Ganoderic acid A is a natural compound that is found in the mushroom Ganoderma lucidum. It has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells, which are commonly used as a model system for human leukemia. The mechanism of action of Ganoderic acid A is not yet fully understood, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit the activation of signal pathways and Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum. This activity is synergistic with other compounds such as ganoderic acid B and ganoderol B. Ganoderic acid A has been shown to have cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells through a novel analytical method. It is also able to inhibit the growth of various cancers including lung, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer cells.
