It has been reported that G009, polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IY009 has various pharmacological effects, such as antinflamatory, antiviral, anticarcinogenic and immunmodulation effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the subacute toxicity of orally administered G009 in Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups of 40 male and 40 female rats were gavaged with 0, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 mg/kg/day for 30 days. No drug-related deaths and clinical morbidities were resulted. There was no drug-related effect on the body weight gain, food consumption and water consumption. Statistically significant changes were observed in several hematological and biochemical parameters of G009-treated groups; however, most of these changes were within normal range and had no relationship to dosage. Urinalysis and bone marrow biopsy showed no remarkable changes in all treated groups. Gross necropsy and hisopathology revealed no evidence of specific toxicity related to G009. Our data indicate that no-observed effect level of G009 is estimated to be above 2,000 mg/kg/day in rats.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of the polysaccharide(G009) obtained from liquid cultured Ganoderma lucidum IY009 on the lipidperoxidation in rat liver microsome. It is well known that the polysaccharide of G. lucidum have the hepatoprotective activity, antitumor activity etc., which was thought to have the relationship to anti-lipidperoxidation. In order to the estimate the effects of anti-lipidperoxidation of the polysaccharide obtained from G. lucidum IY009, enzymatic and nonenzymatic reaction were performed, in vitro, in rat liver microsome. In enzymatic lipid peroxidation reaction by ADP/FeCl$_3$/NADPH and $CCl_4$/NADPH, G009(1mg/ml) inhibited 77.4%, 39.4%, respectively, and the nonenzymatic reaction strongly exhibited 97.4% inhibition. And also, in enzymatic and nonenzymatic inducers treated with G009, the formation of MDA was progressively greater decreased by raising G009 concentration. These results suggest that anti-lipidperoxidation by G009 treatment may be play an important part in liver protection action.

In the present study, the antigenic potential of G009, a polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IY009, was determined in BALB/C mice and Hartley guinea pigs. Antigenicity tests, including passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA), active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) and indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) were performed according to the established guidelines of National Institute of Safety Research. The results were as follows: 1. Mice showed no production of antibodies against G009 sensitized with an adjuvant, aluminum hydroxide gel (alum), when judged by the heterologous PCA test in rats. Meanwhile, antibodies against ovalbumin (OVA) sensitized with alum were clearly detected. 2. In the studies with guinea pigs, both the sensitization of G009 alone and of G009 with complete Freund's adjutant (CFA) did not produce positive reactions in homologous PCA. In the case of ASA, however, G009 alone and G009 with CFA produced positive reactions. 3. No G009 specific reaction was observed in an IHA assay using sera isolated from G009 sensitized mice. These findings suggest that G009 have no antigenicity potential in mice but may have weak antigenicity in guinea pjgs.

G009, a polysaccharide isolated from the mycelia of Ganoderma lucidum IYO09, showed a hepatoprotective activity against $CCl_4$ induced cytotoxicity in primary cu ltured rat hepatocytes. Incubation of $CCl_4$-intoxicated hepatocytes with G009 significantly reduced the levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase and sorbitol dehydrogenase released from hepatocytes in the medium. G009 showed antioxidative effect by elevating the activities of glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase, and the content of glutathione in $CCl_4$-intoxidcated primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Furthermore, G009 significantly elevated glutathione-S-transferase activity in $CCl_4$-intoxicated primary cultured rat hepatocytes. G009 also reduced the production of malondialdehyde, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation. From these results, it could be concluded that G009 exerted hepatoprotective activity against $CCl_4$-induced cytotoxicity through antioxidation.

A polysaccharide, G009, isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IY 009, was subjected to investigating on general pharmacology. This material at the large oral doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg in mice did not exhibit any abnormal behaviors and another effects on central nervous system. It also had no influences on hexobarbital-induced sleeping time, rotarod test and spontaneous activity test at each oral dose of 1000 mg/kg in mice. No effects on the body temperature and on acetic acid induced writhing syndrome in mice were observed with its oral administration at 1000 mg/kg, and the convulsions induced by strychnine and pentetrazole were not inhibited at its oral doses of 1000 mg/kg in mice. The solution of G009 as given intravenously at the doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg in rabbit had no influences on blood pressure and respiration rates and depth. In isolated organs of rat uterus and fundus muscles and guineapig ileum and trachea, it did not show any contraction or relaxation at the concentrations of 2$\times$10$^{-3}$ g/ml, and the contractive actions produced by oxytocin, acetylcholine, serotonin and histamine were not inhibited at the same doses. This material showed no effect on intestinal propulsion test in mice and gastric secretion in rats at the oral doses of 1000 mg/kg. However, it is interesting that the material exhibited potent inhibition of acidified aspirin induced gastric damage at the doses of 500 and 1000 mg/kg in rats.

정상 동물군의 GOT값 및 GPT 값이 각각 137.8$\pm$23.4 및 67.4$\pm$10.0 이었고 acetaminophen 투여군은 418.6$\pm$69.1 및 447.4$\pm$7.7로 증가하였으나 G009 투여군은 그 증가가 현저히 억제되었다. 즉 G009 10mg/kg 투여군은 GOT 및 GPT 값이 192.6$\pm$19.2 및 144.8$\pm$28.7에 그쳐 각각 GOT 및 GPT 값의 상승이 80.5% 및 79.6% 억제되었고 20mg/kg 투여군은 90.8% 및 86.6% 억제되었다. 그러나 Licovek 은 50mg/kg의 투여군에서 이와 유사한 효과가 관찰되었다. 또한 간 절편의 조직학적 관찰 결과 acetaminophen 투여 대조군이 간세포 괴사등 심한 조직 괴사를 보인 반면 G009 10mg/kg 및 20mg/kg 농도에서는 간장 손상이 매우 경미함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the anti-lipidperoxidative effects of G009, a polysaccharide extracted from Ganoderma lucidum IY009, was determined in ascorbic acid-$Fe^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-intoxicated rat. In a model of ascorbic acid-Fe$^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-induced hepatotoxicity in rat, G009 exhibited anti-lipidperoxidative effect in rat liver homogenate, and that malondialdehyde values of the liver homogenate inhibited from 48.1% to 74.8% in comparison to controls (p<0.05). The malondialdehyde formation in serum inhibited 66.5% at 100 mg/kg of G009. Also, serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase in peroxidizer-induced rats treated with G009 was decreased compared with control. Especially, the formation of lipid peroxides in serum was related to glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels. These results suggest that G009 has a protective effect on ascorbic acid-$Fe^{2+}$-adenosine 5-diphosphate-induced hepatic injury through an inhibition of lipid peroxidation in liver.r.

This study was carried out to investigate the dose dependent antifibrotic effects of G009, the water-soluble fraction of polysaccharide extracted from Ganoderma lucidum. The experimental hepatic cirrhosis was induced by bile duct ligation/scission (BDL/S) in rats. BDL/S rats in each group were dosed 0.5, 2, 5 or 10mg/rat/day orally for 4 weeks after the operation. Antifibrotic effects were evaluated by serum biochemical values, hydroxyproline contents, and light microscopical histology.
