LNT, extracted from the fruiting body of Lentinus edodes, is a neutral polysaccharide. It is composed of a backbone of d-glucose residues linked by -(1→3) bonds, with two -(1→6)-d-glucosyl residues attached for every five main-chain d-glucose residues. In addition to its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, LNT can effectively hinder viral infections caused by both naked and enveloped viruses. Its activity is predominantly observed during the initial stages of the viral infection.
