Uses
(Rac)-Ganoderic acid C2 is the racemate of Ganoderic acid C2 (HY-N1517). Ganoderic acid C2 is a bioactive triterpenoid in Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderic acid C2 possesses anti-tumor, antihistamine, anti-aging and cytotoxic effects. Ganoderic acid C2 exhibits high inhibitory activity against the rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) with an IC50 of 3.8 μM[[1][2].
