ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To compare the contents of triterpenoids,polysaccharides and heavy metals in Ganoderma lucidum sporule powder and Ganoderma lucidum.METHODS:The triterpenoid compounds in Ganoderma lucidum sporule powder and Ganoderma lucidum samples were analyzed by HPLC;five heavy metals in the samples were determined by ICP-MS and the polysaccharides were quantified by anthrone-sulfuric acid method.RESULTS:There were significant differences beween Ganoderma lucidum sporule powder and Ganoderma lucidum in the HPLC characteristic chromatogram of triterpenoid compunds.The total content of polysaccharide in Ganoderma lucidum sporule powder was higher than in Ganoderma lucidum sample.However,the five heavy metals in the two materials showed no marked differences.CONCLUSION:This study provides theoretical basis for the pharmacological difference between Ganoderma lucidum sporule powder and Ganoderma lucidum.
