Purification and Characterization of an Aminopeptidase from the Edible Basidiomycete Grifola frondosa ( Maitake ) Toshikazu NISHIWAKI and Kiyoshi HAYASHI National Food Research Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, Ibaraki Japan An aminopeptidase was purified 178-fold from an extract of Maitake ( Grifola frondosa ) by ammonium sulfate precipitation and a series of column chromatographies on phenyl-Toyopearl, Sephadex G-25, and Mono-Q. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 27 kDa and 30 kDa...

Relationship between Solubility of Grifolan, a Fungal 1,3-β-D-Glucan, and Production of Tumor Necrosis Factor by Macrophages in Vitro. Ishibashi K, Miura NN, Adachi Y, Ohno N, Yadomae T. Laboratory for Immunopharmacology for Microbial Products, School of Pharmacy, Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science Grifolan, GRN, is a fungal antitumor β-glucan isolated from Grifola frondosa ( maitake ). Various studies suggested that the underlying mechanism of the antitumor activity of GRN is strongly related to immune modulation. In the previous...

Addition of Maitake D-fraction reduces the effective dosage of vancomycin for the treatment of Listeria-infected mice Kodama N, Yamada M, Nanba H. Department of Microbial Chemistry, Kobe Pharmaceutical University Maitake D-fraction, β1,6-glucan having β,3-branches, has been reported to activate the immune system of the host. To elucidate whether the D-fraction can reduce the clinical effective dosage of antibiotics in the treatment of opportunistic bacterial infection, we examined the effects of D-fraction on the treatment of Listeria...

Maitake Extract and Their Therapeutic Potential — A Review Mark Mayell Abstract Maiitake (Grifola frondosa) is the Japanese name for an edible fungus with a large fruiting body characterized by overlapping caps. It is a premier culinary as well as medicinal mushroom, Maitake is increasingly being recognized as a potent source of polysaccharide compounds with dramatic health-promoting potential. The most recent development is the MD-fraction, a proprietary maitake extract its Japanese inventors consider to be a notable advance upon the...

Effects of maitake (Grifola frondosa) D-Fraction on the carcinoma angiogenesis Matsui K, Kodama N, Nanba H. Department of Microbial chemistry, Kobe Pharmaceutical University We have reported that D-Fraction extracted from maitake (Grifola frondosa), activates immune competent cells, and indicates anti-tumor activities. The D-Fraction was observed to induce angiogenesis in vivo and to enhance the proliferation capability and migration capability of human vascular endothelial cell in vitro. The D-Fraction also increased plasma vascular...
