Description

Ganoderic Acid A CAS NO 81907-62-2 is a highly bioactive lanostane-type triterpenoid isolated from the medicinal mushroom *Ganoderma lucidum* (Reishi). This compound is of significant commercial interest due to its well-documented pharmacological properties, including potential anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries for use in high-value research, formulation development, and finished products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate for investigating anti-cancer, anti-metastatic, and cholesterol-lowering therapies.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: A key bioactive marker compound in standardized Reishi mushroom extracts, capsules, and tinctures aimed at supporting immune function and overall wellness.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Incorporated into anti-aging and skin-repair products for its purported anti-inflammatory and cell-protective benefits.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a specific inhibitor in studies of cellular signaling pathways, including 5-alpha reductase and topoisomerase.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Serves as a primary analytical standard for the HPLC quantification of ganoderic acids in raw materials and finished botanical products.
