Chaga mushroom () comprises polyphenolic compounds, triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and sterols. Among the triterpenoid components, inotodiol has been broadly examined because of its various biological activities. The purpose of this study is to examine inotodiol from a safety point of view and to present the potential possibilities of inotodiol for medical usage. From chaga mushroom extract, crude inotodiol (INO20) and pure inotodiol (INO95) were produced. Mice were treated with either INO20 or INO95 once daily using oral administration for repeated dose toxicity evaluation. Serum biochemistry parameters were analyzed, and the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum was quantified. In parallel, the effect of inotodiol on food allergic symptoms was investigated. Repeated administration of inotodiol did not show any mortality or abnormalities in organs. In food allergy studies, the symptoms of diarrhea were ameliorated by administration with INO95 and INO20. Furthermore, the level of MCPT-1 decreased by treatment with inotodiol. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that inotodiol does not cause any detrimental effect by showing anti-allergic activities in vivo by inhibiting mast cell function. Our data highlight the potential to use inotodiol as an immune modulator for diseases related to inflammation.
桦褐孔菌()包含多酚化合物、三萜类、多糖和甾醇。在三萜类成分中,因其具有多种生物活性,因此广泛研究了桦褐孔菌醇。本研究旨在从安全性角度考察桦褐孔菌醇,并探讨桦褐孔菌醇在医学用途上的潜在可能性。从桦褐孔菌提取物中,制备了粗桦褐孔菌醇(INO20)和纯桦褐孔菌醇(INO95)。通过口服给予小鼠 INO20 或 INO95 进行每日一次的处理,以评估重复剂量毒性。分析血清生化参数,并定量测定血清中促炎细胞因子的水平。同时,研究桦褐孔菌醇对食物过敏症状的影响。重复给予桦褐孔菌醇不会导致任何死亡率或器官异常。在食物过敏研究中,INO95 和 INO20 的给药可改善腹泻症状。此外,桦褐孔菌醇治疗可降低 MCPT-1 水平。在这项研究中,我们首次证明桦褐孔菌醇通过抑制肥大细胞功能在体内表现出抗过敏活性,不会产生任何有害影响。我们的数据强调了将桦褐孔菌醇用作与炎症相关疾病的免疫调节剂的潜力。
