Pharmacology and Clinical Application of the Spores of Ganoderma lucidum (Curt.: Fr.) P. Karst. and Mycelium of Ganoderma capense (Lloyd) Teng. (Aphyllophromycilideae)
RESUMO
Many studies on the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum (Curt.: Fr.) P. Karst. and G. japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd have been carried out. The study of G. lucidum spores and G. capense (Lloyd) Teng mycelium produced by submerged fermentation is rare. This article mainly reviews the results of our studies on the pharmacology and clinical uses of G. lucidum spores and G. capense mycelium. In general, the alcohol-water-soluble portion of both Ganoderma materials given by injection has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, promotes circulation, and modulates immune function and antiallergic inflammation in animals. The alcohol-ether extract of both Ganoderma samples showed protective action against experimental liver damage in mice. The injections made from the alcohol-water-soluble fraction of G. lucidum spores and G. capense mycelium have been used in the treatment of several kinds of neuromuscular diseases such as dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and alopecia. Some therapeutic effects were observed.
