Secondary metabolites from higher fungi in China and their biological activity.
Liu JK
As a part of our search for naturally occurring bioactive metabolites from higher fungi, we investigated the chemical constituents of basidiomycetes and ascomycetes fungi (Albatrellus confluens, Albatrellus dispansus, Boletus edulis, Boletopsis grisea, Bondarzewia berkeleyi, Cortinarius tenuipes, Cortinarius vibratilis, Daldinia concentrica, Engleromyces goetzii, Hydnum repandum, Hebeloma versipelle, Hygrophorus eburnesus, Lactarius deliciosus, Lactarius hatsudake, Lactarius hirtipes, Lactarius mitissimus, Lactarius rufus, Paxillus panuoides, Pulveroboletus ravenelii, Russula cyanoxantha, Russula foetens, Russula lepida, Russula nigricans, Sarcodon laevigatum, Sarcodon scabrosus, Shiraia bambusicola, Thelephora aurantiotincta, Thelephora ganbajun, Tricholomopsis rutilans, Tylopilus virens, Tuber indicum, Xylaria euglossa, etc.), and isolated a number of novel terpenoids, phenolics, and nitrogen-containing compounds. The isolation, structural elucidation, and biologically activity of the new compounds are discussed.
