Anti- Staphylococcus aureus potential of compounds from Ganoderma sp.: A comprehensive molecular docking and simulation approaches. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28118. [PMID: 38596094 PMCID: PMC11002548 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, a series of secondary metabolites from Ganoderma sp. were screened against Staphylococcus aureus protein targets, including as phosphotransacetylase, clumping factor A, and dihydrofolate reductase, using molecular docking simulations. The chemicals that showed the strongest binding energy with the targeted proteins were ganodermanontriol, lucidumol B, ganoderic acid J, ergosterol, ergosterol peroxide, 7-oxoganoderic acid Z, ganoderic acid AM1, ganosinoside A, ganoderic acid D, and 24R-ergosta-7,2E-diene-3β,5α,6β-triol. Interestingly, ganosinoside A showed the greatest affinity for the protein clumping factor A, a result validated by molecular dynamic simulation. Additionally, three natural Ganoderma sp. Strains as Ganoderma lingzhi VNKKK1903, Ganoderma lingzhi VNKK1905A2, and Amauroderma subresinosum VNKKK1904 were collected from Kon Ka Kinh National Park in central land of Vietnam and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus using an agar well diffusion technique. These results suggest that the fungal extracts and secondary metabolites may serve as valuable sources of antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus. These findings provided an important scientific groundwork for further exploration of the antibacterial mechanisms of compounds derived from Ganoderma sp. in future research.

Abstract
As a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, Ganoderma applanatum (Pers.) Pat., also known as flat-ling Ganoderma (Chinese name bianlingzhi), old mother fungus (laomujun), and old ox liver (laoniugan), has high medicinal value. It is used as an anti-cancer drug in China and Japan. Besides, it can treat rheumatic tuberculosis and has the effect of relieving pain, clearing away heat, eliminating accumulation, stopping bleeding and eliminating phlegm. The purpose of this review is to analyze the research progress systematically and comprehensively in mycology, mycochemistry and pharmacological activities of G. applanatum, and discuss the prospect of prospective research and implementation of this medicinal material. A comprehensive literature search was performed on G. applanatum using scientific databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI, Elsevier. Collected data from different sources was comprehensively summarized for mycology, mycochemistry and pharmacology of G. applanatum. A total of 324 compounds were recorded, the main components of which were triterpenoids, meroterpenoids, steroids, and polysaccharides. G. applanatum and its active ingredients have a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-tumor, liver protection, hypoglycemic, anti-fat, anti-oxidation, antibacterial and other activities. Although G. applanatum is widely used in traditional medicine and has diverse chemical constituents, more studies should be carried out in animals and humans to evaluate the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in its biological activity.

Integrating in Silico and In Vitro Studies to Screen Anti- Staphylococcus aureus Activity From Vietnamese Ganoderma multiplicatum and Ganoderma sinense. Nat Prod Commun 2023.

Abstract
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a nosocomial pathogen responsible for many serious infectious diseases in humans. Finding the anti- S. aureus agents is a time-consuming and costly process. Recently, computational methods have provided a better understanding of the interactions between herbal medicine drug targets to help clinical practitioners rationally design herbal formulae. Methods: In this study, molecular docking simulation was applied to screen a list of natural secondary metabolites from Ganoderma sp. on the protein target S. aureus sortase A. Molecular dynamics models were used to assess the stability of protein–ligand complexes during the first 100 ns. To validate the computational results, 2 Ganoderma species, G. multiplicatum VNKKK1901 and G. sinense VNKKK1902, were tested for antibacterial activity against S. aureus using the disk diffusion method. Results: The results showed that, among the selected compounds, ganosinensin B and ganosinoside A generated the highest binding energy on S. aureus sortase A, and demonstrated strong and stable binding capacity to proteins. In addition, the extracts of G. sinense VNKKK1902 and G. multiplicatum VNKKK1901 were bactericidal, with minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratios of 2. Conclusion: Our findings provide the first scientific report on the antibacterial activity of Ganoderma sp., which contain 2 promising compounds, ganosinensin B and ganosinoside A, as potential hits for developing novel drugs capable of supporting treatment of S. aureus infection.
