Polysaccharides from the mycelia of Ganoderma lucidum (GLP) can improve intestinal barrier function, regulate intestinal immunity and modulate intestinal microbiota. In the present study, GLP was given via oral administration to rats (100 mg/kg body weight, 21 days) to investigate the metabolomic profiling of caecal contents induced by GLP. Gas chromatog.-time of light/mass spectrometry (GC-TOF/MS) was performed to identify the metabolites, followed by biomarker and pathway anal. The multivariate anal. indicated clear separated clusters between two groups. The significantly different metabolites were characterized, which mainly involved in vitamin B6 metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, fructose and mannose metabolism, and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism Indolelactate and 2,2-dimethylsuccinic acid were selected as key biomarkers responded to GLP administration. Furthermore, significantly different metabolites identified were associated with the improvement of intestinal immunol. function and regulation of intestinal microbiota. Our results provided a potential metabolomic mechanism of health-beneficial properties of polysaccharides from the mycelia of G. lucidum, which might be used as functional agents to regulate the intestinal functions. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Pyridin-4-ol (cas: 626-64-2Reference of 626-64-2).
Pyridin-4-ol (cas: 626-64-2) belongs to pyridine derivatives. The ring atoms in the pyridine molecule are sp2-hybridized. The nitrogen is involved in the π-bonding aromatic system using its unhybridized p orbital. The lone pair is in an sp2 orbital, projecting outward from the ring in the same plane as the σ bonds. Many analogues of pyridine are known where N is replaced by other heteroatoms . Substitution of one C–H in pyridine with a second N gives rise to the diazine heterocycles (C4H4N2), with the names pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine.Reference of 626-64-2
