Ganoderma Triterpenoids and Their Bioactivities
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/biom13010024

Ganoderma has been used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries to prevent and treat various diseases. Numerous publications are stating that Ganoderma species have a variety of beneficial medicinal properties, and investigations on different metabolic regulations of Ganoderma species, extracts or isolated compounds have been performed both in vitro and in vivo.

1. Introduction

Ganoderma P. Karst. 1881 [1] is an old polypore genus typified by Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst. belonging to the family Ganodermataceae (basidiomycete) [2], which has been synonymized with the family Polyporaceae [3], with the members normally growing on woody plants and logs [2][4][5]. The genus was originally reported in the UK [6] and is considered to have a worldwide distribution [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Ganoderma species are used for medicinal purposes in China [19][20][21][22], Japan, South Korea [22] and the French West Indies [12]. The common names for Ganoderma include Lingzhi, Munnertake, Sachitake, Reishi, and Youngzhi. Ganoderma was first recorded in Shennong’s Classic of Materia Medica and classified as an upper-grade medicine in medical books [23]. Index Fungorum (2022) (http://www.indexfungorum.org/, accessed on 6 September 2022) lists 488 records of Ganoderma while MycoBank lists 529 records [18]. Approximately 80 species of Ganoderma are recorded in Chinese Fungi [24], of which G. lucidum and G. sinense are described as medicinally beneficial macrofungi in Chinese medicine [25]. However, other species, such as G. capense, G. cochlear and G. tsugae also play an important role in traditional folk medicine. In addition, pharmacological studies have also used the extract and chemical constituents of other Ganoderma species [22][26][27][28][29][30].
The chemical constituents and the biological activities of 25 species of Ganoderma, namely G. amboinense, G. annulare, G. applanatum (synonym G. lipsiense), G. australe, G. boninense, G. capense, G. carnosum, G. casuarinicola, G. cochlear, G. colossus, G. concinnum, G. ellipsoideum, G. fornicatum, G. hainanense, G. lucidum, G. mastoporum, G. neo-japonicum, G. orbiforme, G. pfeifferi, G. resinaceum, G. sinense, G. theaecola (as theaecolum), G. tropicum, G. tsugae and G. weberianum. Several chemical constituents such as ganoderic acids, lucidenic acids, 12-hydroxyganoderic acid, ganorbiformin, lucidimines [31] and other compounds have been reported from various Ganoderma species during recent decades [29][32][33][34][35].
Triterpenes, polysaccharides and peptidoglycans are one of the major types of bioactive substances [36][37] responsible for the various biological activities of several species in Ganoderma (e.g., Ganoderma lucidum). Triterpenoids and ganoderic acids that play a critical role in pharmacological activities are also present in G. applanatum and G. orbiforme [33][36][38][39][40][41][42]. Besides G. applanatum [43][44], G. colossus [45] and G. pfeifferi [46], G. resinaceum [45] have also been identified as potential Ganoderma natural antioxidants.
G. amboinense [47], G. annulare [48], G. applanatum [49][50][51], G. boninense [52], G. calidophilum [53], G. capense [54], G. carnosum [55], G. cochlear [56][57][58], G. colossum [59], G. concinnum, G. neo-japonicum [60], G. fornicatum [61], G. hainanense [62], G. leucocontextum [63], G. lucidum [64][65][66][67], G. mastoporum [68], G. mbrekobenum [69], G. resinaceum [70], G. sinense [71][72][73], G. theaecola (as theaecolum) [74], G. tropicum [75], G. tsugae [76], G. weberianum [77] were reported to contain bioactive compounds of great interest.
The members of the genus Ganoderma are rich in novel “mycochemicals”, including polysaccharides [78], steroids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, vitamins, amino acids and triterpenoids [69][79][80][81]. Ganoderma polysaccharides are a hot topic in the medicinal mushroom research field [78][82][83][84]. Although polysaccharides are found to be one of the main bioactive constituents, their high molecular weight and complex structure limit their use in the drug market [85]. The Ganoderma polysaccharides are well known for their diverse bioactivities such as antitumor, immunomodulatory, anti-hypertensive, antidyslipidemic and hepatoprotective activities. Ganoderma polysaccharides have been developed into medicines, dietary supplements, healthy foods, treat and prevent diseases, and are continuing to serve as important leads in modern drug discovery [78][86][87][88].

Taxonomic Studies of Ganoderma

The word Ganoderma is derived from the Greek words “Gano”, meaning “shiny”, and “derma”, meaning “skin” [22][89]. Originating from the tropics and recently extending its range into temperate zones [90], Ganoderma is an old genus with a taxonomic history dating back to 1881, and the Finnish mycologist P. A. Karsten erected the genus to place a single species, Polyporus lucidus [=Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis: Fr.) P. Karst.] [1][91]. Ganoderma lucidum is the type species of the genus Ganoderma, which was originally described as from the UK and later found to have a worldwide distribution [6]. A number of Ganoderma species morphologically closely related and belonging to G. lucidum complex viz. G. multipileum Ding Hou 1950 [92], G. sichuanense J.D. Zhao & X.Q. Zhang 1983 [93] and G. lingzhi Sheng H. [94][95] from China, G. resinaceum Boud. 1889 [96] from Europe, and G. oregonense Murrill 1908, G. sessile Murrill 1902, G. tsugae Murrill 1902 and G. zonatum Murrill 1902 [97][98] from the USA, have been described as from all over the world, and are mainly characterized by laccate pileus. Zhou et al. [99] considered 32 collections belonging to the G. lucidum complex from Asia, Europe and North America in terms of their morphology and phylogeny as derived from analyses of four protein-coding genes viz. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translational elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α) and retinol-binding protein 1 and 2 (rpb1, rpb2). Different molecular techniques have been used to study the genetic diversity in Ganoderma, such as amplified fragment length polymorphism, isozyme analysis, inter simple sequence repeat, random amplified polymorphic DNA, single-nucleotide polymorphism, restricted fragment length polymorphisms, sequence-related amplified polymorphism, single-strand conformational polymorphism and sequence characterized amplified region [100]. These different molecular identifications used in different taxonomic classifications of Ganoderma have caused great improvements and provide information for the further research of Ganoderma [18][90][101].
Ganoderma has long been treated as one of the most important medicinal fungi worldwide [39], and laccate species of Ganoderma have been considered for centuries [102], i.e., G. lucidum complex have been used as medicinal mushrooms in traditional Chinese medicine [103]. Anyhow, the species concept of the G. lucidum complex lacks agreement in morphology, and the taxonomy of this species complex is thus problematic, and this ultimately limits both further research on this complex and their medicinal usefulness. For example, the widely used medicinal species in biochemical and pharmaceutical studies have been assumed to be G. lucidum, but evidence has emerged that this medicinal species is, in fact, a different species [104] and was described as G. lingzhi [94].
The taxonomic position of the G. lucidum complex has long been subjected to debate [9][18][90][101][105] and different opinions have been expressed regarding the members and their validity in the complex. Haddow [106] treated G. sessile as a synonym of G. resinaceum, while Overholts [107] pointed out that G. lucidum should be the correct name of the specimens classified as G. sessile. Ganoderma lucidum has also been considered as the correct name over its later synonym G. tsugae [106][108]. However, with the support of mating tests, Nobles [109] pointed out that the specimens classified as G. lucidum in the USA represented G. sessile. All names of the G. lucidum complex in East Africa were parsimoniously treated as the ‘‘G. lucidum group’’, because of the lack of morpho-taxonomic solution to the problem in this complex [7]. Asian specimens classified as G. lucidum were divided into two clades; both were separated from European G. lucidum [110], with one clade being composed of tropical collections represented by G. multipileum, while the other clade was unknown [110], yet later recognized as G. sichuanense [111]. It was found that the holotype of G. sichuanense was not conspecific with the unknown clade, and the unknown clade was identified as a new species, G. lingzhi, which also is the most widely cultivated species in China [94]. Meanwhile, the distribution of genuine G. lucidum in China was also confirmed [94][112]. The taxonomy of the G. lucidum complex remains problematic even after several decades of debates [99]. Most of the studies previously conducted were focused on the species in a continent or specific region [94][111], or the phylogeny was described with low resolution to certain clades [104][112]. On the other hand, a strong phylogeny together with species originally described as from the USA is greatly needed, as most of these species are old and never referred to in any phylogenetic analyses.

2. Triterpenoids

2.1. Biosynthesis of Triterpenoids

Triterpenoids belong to a large and structurally diverse class of natural products [113]. Basidiomycetes are considered a main source for triterpenoids. Compared to plants, very few types of triterpenoid skeletons have been reported in basidiomycetes, thus more research is needed [114]. Triterpenoids extracted from Ganoderma spp. are named as Ganoderma triterpenoids (GTs) [113].
Ganoderma triterpenoids (GTs) isolated from the fruiting bodies, cultured mycelia and basidiospores of Ganoderma [115][116][117] belong to the lanostane-type triterpenoids and are one of the major chemical constituents in Ganoderma. Studies have confirmed that GTs are biosynthesized using isoprenoid pathways [118][119]. This pathway was considered to start from acetyl-coenzyme A and termed as a Mevalonate pathway (MVA) [120]. The MVA pathway (Figure 1) is one of the important metabolic pathways that can be divided into four main processes: conversion, construction, condensation, and postmodification [35]. The initial step is the transformation of acetyl-coenzyme A to isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). Then the activities of different prenyltransferases produce farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), which are higher-order terpenoid building blocks from this IPP precursor. Then, these junction mediators can self-condense, and are also used in alkylation processes to produce prenyl side chains (for a range of nonterpenoids) or create a ring (to build the basic skeletons of triterpenoids). Ultimately, oxidation and reduction reactions, conjugation, isomerization or other secondary reactions magnify the distinctive characteristics of the triterpenoids [35][121][122].

Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, AACT; 2. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, HMGS; 3. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, HMGR; 4. Mevalonate kinase, MK; 5. Phosphomevalonate kinase, MPK; 6.

Squalene monooxygenase, SE; 11. 2,3-Oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase, OSC (The structures were redrawn in ACD/ChemSketch: Freeware: 2012).
The relationship between the content of Ganoderma triterpenoids and the expression levels of major genes has been evaluated in several studies. These kinds of studies may provide valuable data for studying the role of key genes and, finally, for raising the production of triterpenoids. According to Wang et al. [114], the most comprehensive studies on Ganoderma triterpenoids were concentrated on G. lucidum. A considerable number of essential enzyme genes are involved in the production of G. lucidum triterpenoids during the biosynthesis. Liu et al. [123] inspected the G. lucidum genes in the “terpenoid backbone biosynthesis (map00900)” pathway and discovered that the genes are solely spread in the MVA pathway, not the MEP/DOXP (methylerythritol 4-phosphate/deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate) pathway. Meanwhile, several genes in this pathway have been cloned in G. lucidum, including 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) [124], Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPs) [125], squalene synthase (SQS) [126], and lanosterol synthase (also namely 2,3-oxidosqualene lanosterol cyclase, OSC) [123]. These observations demonstrated that triterpenoid backbone biosynthesis could only be accomplished via the MVA pathway at the genome level in fungi.
Scientists have performed a large number of studies to find out key enzyme genes involved in increasing the yield of ganoderic acid (GA). Ye et al. [127] examined the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and calcium ions on the biosynthesis of triterpenoids in G. lucidum through spraying during the fruiting stage. Calcium ions had no effect on the production of triterpenoids because the six key triterpenoid biosynthetic genes did not respond. However, SA increased triterpenoid content by 23.32% compared to the control, and the combined induction of both increased triterpenoid content by 13.61% compared to the control since in the case of SA and the combined induction of both on the six-triterpenoid biosynthetic genes were up-regulated [127]. Fei et al. [128] have utilized the homologous farnesyl diphosphate synthase gene to overexpress GA (which actually increases the generation of GA) to determine the function of MVD in the biosynthesis of GA. However, it also increases expression of squalene synthase (SQS) and lanosterol synthase (LS).
According to the results of Shi et al. [129], it was revealed that MVD plays a key role in the biosynthesis of GA. The SE gene was cloned from G. lucidum and overexpressed to examine the impact on the biosynthetic pathway of GA. The results indicated that the SE gene promotes the biosynthesis of GA. In addition, SE and HMGR genes were simultaneously expressed, with the co-expressed strain having a higher acid content than the single expressed strain, which demonstrated that the co-expression of the two genes stimulated biosynthesis of GA [101][130][131]. LS is a key enzyme of the MVA synthesis pathway and is at the second branch point, [101][114][130][131] whilst it was revealed that the overexpression of LS increases the content of GA [101][130][131]. As a summary, the fundamental enzyme gene in the biosynthesis pathway of GA is intensely involved in the amount of GA.

2.2. Structures and Bioactivities of Triterpenoids

Triterpenes are a major class of widely dispersed secondary metabolites in nature [132]. Triterpenoids structures with a carbon skeleton are considered to be derived from the acyclic precursor squalene [133]. More than 30,000 structures of triterpenes [134] such as dammarane, lanostane, lupine, oleanane and ursane types have been isolated and identified [135].
The structures of triterpenoids isolated from Ganoderma spp. are complicated. These compounds consist with lanostane carbon skeleton and pentacyclic triterpenoids (Figure 2). According to the number of carbon atoms in their skeleton, GTs can be divided into three types viz. C30, C27 and C24 [136]. On the basis of the substituent groups, they are classified into different groups such as triterpenoid acids, triterpenoid alcohols and triterpenoid lactones [136].
Biomolecules 13 00024 g002
Figure 2. Chemical structure of lanostane triterpene.
With the development of separation techniques and extraction methods, structurally diverse triterpenoids were isolated [137][138], which were formed through oxidation, reduction, cleavage, rearrangement and cyclization within MVA pathway [139]. It is known that the bioactivity of GTs has long been the research focus and that new changes of structures can affect their bioactivities [29][140]. Thus, researchers summarize the triterpenoids of 25 species of Ganoderma and classify them into seven types on the basis of the number and type of skeleton carbons (i.e., C31, C30, C29, C27, C25, C24, and rearranged novel skeleton).

2.2.1. C30 Triterpenoids

The majority of GTs was C30 triterpenoids on the basis of the biosynthetic pathway of GTs. Because of the oxidation and reduction processes, their structures should be divided into six groups: 8,9-ene, 8,9-dihydro, 8,9-epoxy, 7(8),9(11)-diene, triterpenoid saponins and rearranged novel skeleton triterpenoids.

8,9-ene-triterpenoids

This type of GT is the lanostane-type triterpenoid with a double bond between C-8 and C-9. In addition, C-3, C-7, C-11 and C-15 were generally substituted by the hydroxyl or carbonyl groups. The minority of compounds possessed hydroxyl or carbonyl groups at C-12. Different oxidation and reduction can happen in the side chain. Except the above structural features, compounds ganodermacetal (44) and methyl ganoderate A acetonide (45) possessed an uncommon acetonide unit. Compound 44 was isolated from the basidiomycete G. amboinense, and was a natural product, but not an artefact, which resulted from the acetalization of native ganoderic acid C (3) and with acetone not being used during the isolation procedure [141]. However, compound 45 isolated from the fruiting bodies of G. lucidum was reported to be most likely not of natural origin due to the utilization of acetone during the isolation procedure [142].
Several studies on the bioactivity of triterpenoids showed that ganoderic acids had significant biological activities [95][143][144][145][146][147] (Table 1). Ganoderic acid DM (50) displayed stronger 5α-reductase inhibitory activity (IC50 value of 10.6 μM) than the positive control (α-linolenic acid, 116 μM). Meanwhile, compared to its methyl derivative, the inhibitory activities of 5α-reductase at 20 μM were 55% and 3% for 50 and its derivative, suggesting that the carboxyl group of the side chain for 50 is essential to elicit the inhibitory activity [143]. Liu et al. [144] evaluated the structure –activity relationship for inhibition of 5α-reductase using ganoderic acid A (1), B (2), C (3), D (19), I (5) and DM (50). The results showed that the presence of the carbonyl group at C-3, and of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group at C-26, was characteristic of almost all inhibitors.

Except for the aforementioned bioactivity, ganoderic acid DM (50) was also a selective potent osteoclast genesis inhibitor [145][146]. Miyamoto et al. [147] found that ganoderic acid DM (50) can suppress the expression of c-Fos and the nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1). This suppression leads to the inhibition of the dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) expression and reduces osteoclast fusion. The study of Liu et al. [145][146] also displayed that this compound can be used in therapeutics for prostate cancer by inhibiting the cancer cell proliferation and bone metastases by impeding the osteoclast differentiation. Meanwhile, Johnson et al. [175] indicated the possible mechanism by which ganoderic acid DM (50) induces cytotoxicity in both androgen-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells (Figure 3). Compound 50 can also induce DNA damage, G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human breast cancer cells [95]. Meanwhile, tubulin was identified as the target protein of ganoderic acid DM (50), which can explain and clarify the universal mechanism of its medicinal efficacy [226].

Ganoderic acid Df (22) is a ganoderma acid having a 23-oxo-24-en-26 oic acid side chain, different from ganoderic acid DM (50) which has a 24-en-26 oic acid side chain. Compound 22 exhibited potent human aldose reductase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 22.8 μM in vitro, with the carboxyl group of this compound’s side chain being essential for eliciting inhibitory activity because its methyl ester is much less active [164]. Similarly, Fatmawati et al. [227] analyzed the structure–activity relationships of ganoderma acids (ganoderic acids A, B, C, D, H, J, K, Df, ganoderenic acids A and D, as well as methyl ganoderate A, methyl ganoderenate A, and ganolucidic acid B) from G. lucidum as aldose reductase inhibitors. The results revealed that the OH substituent at C-11 is a valuable feature and that the carboxyl group in the side chain is essential for the recognition of aldose reductase inhibitory activity. Moreover, double bond moiety at C-20 and C-22 in the side chain contributes to improving aldose reductase inhibitory activity. All OH substituents at C-3, C-7 and C-15 are valuable for potent aldose reductase inhibition. Fatmawati et al. [228] explained the structural requirements for α-glucosidase inhibition. The structure–activity relationships of ganoderma acids revealed the same results as the above research.
In all, C30 ganoderma acids showed potent metabolic enzyme inhibitory activities, and the carboxyl group in the side chain was the key factor (Figure 4).
