Reishi triterpenoids molecular diagram

The molecular structure of Reishi triterpenoids incorporates highly oxidised lanostane-type triterpenoids called triterpenes2. At least 100 different alcohol-soluble triterpenes have been identified from fruiting bodies and mycelia of Reishi,3 including Ganoderic acid A (R1=O R2=beta-OH R3=H R4=alpha-OH R5=H), Ganoderic acid B (R1=R2=beta-OH R3=R5=H R4=O)4 and Ganoderic acid C (R1=O R2=beta-OH R3=R5=H R4=O)5.
