Overview
abstract
Ganoderma lucidum is one of the most extensive!) studied mushrooms due to its
medicinal properties, p-Hydroxybenzoic acid was the most abundant phenolic acid found in this
mushroom. after HPLC-DAD-MS analysis. In the present work we describe the synthesis of
glucuronide and methyl derivatives of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which arc two of the main
circulating metabolites found in humans. Their biological activity is going to be evaluated and
compared to the parent compound in order to understand the in vivo mechanism of action of
phenolic acids, considering their metabolism
