Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a method for effectively extracting anticancer components from the AC product using ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents. The ethanol extract contains a triterpenoid called zhankuic acid A, which has been found to inhibit the growth of leukemia cells and induce apoptosis. The ethyl acetate extract contains a combination of triterpenoids, including zhankuic acid A, and is effective in inhibiting the growth of leukemia cells and inducing apoptosis. The invention also provides a method for measuring the presence and amount of triterpenoids in a target object using ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents. The invention also provides a method for extracting the fruiting body of AC using ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents, and a method for isolating zhankuic acid A from the ethyl acetate extract. Overall, the invention provides a more efficient and effective way to extract and measure triterpenoids from the AC product."

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is uneasily to find out the wide fruiting body of AC or identify the morphological appearance of this Aphyllophorales fungus.
In addition, the price of AC is still high due to their biologically active components having potential pharmaceutical value.
However, the chemical distribution and pharmacological research of niu-chang-chih products are not clarified up to now.
However, the extract is not extracted with the fruiting body of AC, and the mycelia product thereof cannot inhibit cancer cell growth.
However, there is no extraction method disclosed.
However, the above-mentioned inventions did not disclose any product of the fruiting body of AC extracted with water or organic solvent, and there is no component for cancer therapy or growth inhibition of cancer cell is identified.

Biological Experiments

[0043]Experiment 1: Ethanol Extract and Water Extract Prepared from Fruiting Body of Wild Antrodia campharata

[0044]Fifty-two grams (52 g) of the dried fruiting body of AC was ground as fine powder, which was boiled to flux with ethanol at 75° C. at a ratio of 1:10 (w / v) for 2 hours. The extract was cooled and then was allowed to precipitate overnight at 4° C. The supernatant of extract was further filtered by a filter paper, centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 30 minutes to remove the precipitate, and then the extract was lyophilized and stored at −70° C. This extract is named as “the ethanol extract of the fruiting body of A. camphorata (EEAC)”. Further, the residue was further boiled to flux at a ratio of 1:10 (w / v) for 6 to 8 hours. The supernatants were filtered and then centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 30 minutes to remove the precipitate. The product, named as “the water extract of the fruiting body of A. camphorata (WEAC)”, was lyophilized and stored at −70° C.

, Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity

[0048]Human leukemia HL 60 cell line was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, Va.) and incubated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 units / ml penicillin and 100 μg / ml streptomycin at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide.

[0049]Cell viability was determined by the trypan blue dye exclusion and cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay. First, 1×105 HL 60 cells were plated in 96-well plates and treated with different concentrations of EEAC dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at the concentrations of 0 to 150 μg / ml for 24 hours. Death cells then were stained with trypan blue, and the survival cells were calculated with hemocytometer. In MTT assay, 1.2 mg / ml MTT was added in each well, which was incubated for 2 hours to form crystal violet, formazan. Formazan was dissolved in DMSO, and absorbance was detected at a wavelength of 570 nm.

ry

[0050]HL 60 cells (1×106) were incubated in the 10-cm dish and treated with known concentrations of EEAC for 24 hours. The treated cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice and harvested by centrifuging at 37° C. at 200×g for 5 minutes. Cells were fixed with 70% (v / v) ethanol at 37° C. for 30 minutes, and then were resuspended in 1 ml propidium iodium (PI) reagent (containing 0.1% Triton X-100, 100 μg / ml ribonuclease (RNase) A and 500 μg / ml PI) at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The cells were detected with the flow cytometer, and data were analyzed with FACScan and Cell Quest Program (Becton Dickinson).

Abstract

A preparation method for an ethanol extract of the fruiting body of Antrodia camphorata (EEAC) is provided. The preparation method includes steps of: (a) providing the fruiting body of A. camphorata (AC); (b) extracting the fruiting bodies with a first ethanol solution; and (c) obtaining EEAC. EEAC further can be sequentially extracted or fractioned by n-hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol, and an n-hexane fraction (FC), an ethyl acetate fraction (FA) and an ethanol fraction (FB) respectively are generated. The growth inhibition and apoptosis induction of leukemia cell line HL 60 are effectively mediated by FA product, in which zhankuic acid A is the bioactive marker. The amount of triterpenoid in the fruiting body of AC can be determined by NMR and HPLC analysis.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an extract of the fruiting body of Antrodia camphorata (AC) and the preparation method thereof. In particular, the present invention related to an ethanol extract of the fruiting body of A. camphorata (abbreviated as EEAC) and the preparation method thereof. EEAC can effectively induce cancer apoptosis. Further, the organic solvent extracts are obtained after EEAC is extracted with organic solvents of increasing polarities and can effectively inhibit proliferation, induce cancer cells to enter cell death and apoptosis program.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Antrodia camphorata (AC), by name niu-chang-chih or jang-jy is an endemic fungus in Taiwan and grows in the internal heartwood (or the dark / humid wood surface) of the particular Cinnamomum kanehirai in 400 to 2000 meters altitude. Therefore, it is uneasily to find out the wide fruiting body of AC or identify the morphological appearance of this Aphyllophorales fungus. ...
