Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to triterpenoid compounds from the medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum (Shandong Ganoderma), their preparation methods, and the application of these compounds in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Background Technology
[0002] Reishi is a general term for fungi of the genus *Ganoderma*, belonging to the subphylum Basidiomycetes, order Polyporales, family Ganodermataceae, and genus *Ganoderma*. Reishi has a research history of over a thousand years in my country and is a traditional Chinese medicine with a very wide range of medicinal applications. Since the publication of the "Monthly Treatise on Medicinal Fungi in my country" in 1974, *Ganoderma lucidum* has been considered the scientific name of the well-known medicinal fungus *Ganoderma*. China has a rich variety of medicinal *Ganoderma* species, including *Amauroderma*, *G. atrum*, *G. sinense*, and *G. gibbosum*, mainly distributed in Guizhou, Yunnan, Fujian, and Guangxi provinces. *Ganoderma* contains polysaccharides, triterpenes, alkaloids, steroids, and trace elements such as calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Currently, 103 species of Ganoderma have been reported in my country, but current research focuses primarily on species such as Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma sinense, and Ganoderma applanatum, with research on other species being relatively lacking. These species are important resources for drug development. Among them, Ganoderma shandongense was a new species discovered and identified by Zhao Jiding et al. in 1982. Later, Sun et al., through phylogenetic analysis, found that Ganoderma shandongense formed an independent branch, establishing a new genus (Sinoganoderma gen.nov.) and classifying G. shandongense under S. shandongense. Currently, there are no reports on its chemical composition and biological activities. With the development of science and technology, research on the medicinal uses of Ganoderma is becoming increasingly in-depth. Ganoderma has antioxidant, anti-tumor, and hepatoprotective effects, and is clinically used to treat chronic bronchitis and some respiratory diseases, diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and as an adjunct therapy for tumors, becoming a research hotspot in recent years.
[0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible, chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive memory impairment, impaired daily activities, and decreased acquired learning abilities. It is reported that two-thirds of the 50 million dementia cases worldwide are AD patients, and the number is projected to reach 152 million globally by 2050, with China's AD patient population potentially reaching 2.35 times that of 2015. Beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles caused by excessive phosphorylation of tau protein are the main pathogenic mechanisms of AD. Neuronal death, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter imbalances are also associated with the occurrence and development of AD. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 may have exacerbated AD-related deaths. Currently, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists and cholinesterase inhibitors are mainly used clinically, but side effects such as dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort, worsening of stroke, and even death can occur. Therefore, it is urgent to design and develop new and highly effective drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Summary of the Invention

[0089] Example 2: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of compounds 1-13
[0090] The compounds obtained above were diluted with PBS to concentrations of 200 μmol / L, 100 μmol / L, 50 μmol / L, 25 μmol / L, and 5 μmol / L, respectively, for later use. 20 μL of each compound, 60 μL of PBS, and 20 μL of acetylcholinesterase (0.22 U / mL) were added to each well of a 96-well plate. After reacting at 4°C for 10 min, 20 μL of substrate AchI (15 mM) and DNTB were added. 100 μL was added, and the reaction was repeated three times in parallel. The absorbance (A1) was measured at 412 nm after 20 min of further reaction. An equal volume of PBS was used to replace acetylcholinesterase, and the reaction was repeated three times in parallel, with the absorbance measured at 412 nm (A2). An equal volume of PBS was used to replace the compound, and the absorbance was measured at 412 nm (A3). An equal volume of PBS was used to replace both the compound and acetylcholinesterase, and the absorbance was measured at 412 nm (A4). Donepezil hydrochloride diluted to concentrations of 200 μmol / L, 100 μmol / L, 50 μmol / L, 25 μmol / L, and 5 μmol / L served as a positive control. Triple replicates were performed, and the average value was used to calculate the acetylcholinesterase inhibition rate and IC50. 50 The value is calculated using the formula: inhibition rate = [(A3-A4)-(A1-A2)] / (A3-A4)×100%.
[0091] Table 4 shows the inhibitory effects of compounds 1-12 on acetylcholinesterase.
[0092]
[0093] Experiments have confirmed that compounds 1-13 all possess acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, with compounds 1, 5-7, and 12 showing the highest IC50 values. 50 Its value is superior to that of donepezil hydrochloride, a positive control drug. Its extraction and separation method is simple, which facilitates further pharmacological and clinical research and development of its application in the preparation of anti-Alzheimer's drugs.
