[#1995-01] Activity of Maitake D-Fraction to Inhibit Carcinogenesis and Metastasis, Hiroaki Nanba
Activity of Maitake D-Fraction to Inhibit Carcinogenesis and Metastasis Nanba, H Department of Microbial Chemistry, Kobe Pharmaceutical University Of all the medicinal mushrooms studied by the author, the Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa) has the strongest antitumor activity in tumor growth inhibition both when administered orally and intraperitoneally. In fact, most of the other mushroom extracts are reported ineffective when given orally. In this report, the author investigated Maitake’s activities on the inhibition of carcinogenesis...

Fractionation and Antitumor Activity of Polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa Mycelium Zhuang, C, Mizuno, T, Ito, H, Shimura, K, Sumiya, T, Kawade, M The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Gifu University We developed a method for the fractionation and purification of antitumor polysaccharides, considered to be a type of immunopotentiator or BRM (biological response modifier), from the mycelium of liquid cultured Grifola frondosa ( maitake ). The active polysaccharide fractions that showed higher antitumor activity were...

Anti-diabetic activity present in the fruit body of Grifola frondosa (Maitake) Kubo K(a), Aoki H(b), Nanba H(c) a) Yukiguni Maitake Co., Ltd., b) Aoki Clinic, c) Department of Microbial Chemistry, Kobe Pharmaceutical University The fruit body of Grifola frondosa ( maitake ), Basidiomycetes was confirmed to contain substances with anti-diabetic activity. When 1 g/d of powdered fruit body of maitake was given orally to a genetically diabetic mouse (KK-Aγ), blood glucose reduction was observed, in contrast to the control group in which...

Monoclonal antibody to proteoglycan derived from Grifola frondosa (Maitake) Hirata A, Adachi Y, Itoh W, Komoda M, Tabata K, Sugawara I. Research Laboratory, Taito Co., Ltd. A murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) was prepared by immunizing BALB/c mice with a proteoglycan fraction derived from Grifola frondosa ( Maitake mushroom), followed by the hybridization of spleen cells with mouse myeloma cells. The MAb (subclass; Ig G2b), designated MPG2, reacted with schizophyllan (SPG), curdlan, scleroglucan, laminarin and lentinan, but not with dextran,...

Maitake – The King of Mushrooms Anthony J. Cichoke, MA, DC, DACBN For over 3,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has enjoyed an illustrious history. Today, TCM and Western medicine function side-by-side in Japan, as can be witnessed by the frequent use of maitake mushrooms to deal with conditions which, in the U.S., are usually treated with drugs. In Japan, maitake (pronounced mytah-keh) mushrooms are highly prized both as food and medicine. People with serious degenerative illnesses travel long distances in search...

Laboratory of Immunopharmacology of Microbial Products, Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science The ability of grifolan (GRN, maitake derived ), a purified fungal (1->3)-β-D-glucan, to induce various cytokines from macrophages was examined in vitro. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) activity in supernatants from the culture of macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 was dependent...

Preparation and Antigen Specificity of an Anti-(1->3)-β-D-glucan Antibody Yoshiyuki ADACHI, Naohito OHNO, and Toshiro YADOMAE Laboratory of Immunopharmacology of Microbial Products, Tokyo College of Pharmacy, Tokyo, Japan. Antibody for (1-6)-branched (1-3)-β-D-glucan was prepared using rodents. An antitumor (1-6)-β-monoglucosyl branched (1-3)-β-D-glucan (GRN: grifolan from maitake ) was conjugated with bovine serum albumin and used as an immunogen. The antibody titer in serum was determined by ELISA using biotin-conjugated GRN....
