Four new compounds, including three new benzenoids, antrocamphin A (1), antrocamphin B (2), and 2,3,4,5-tetramethoxybenzoyl chloride (3), and a new 1,3-dioxolan-2-one derivative, antrodioxolanone (4), together with 13 known compounds have been isolated from the fruiting body of Antrodia camphorata. The structures of these new compounds were determined through spectral analyses including extensive 2D-NMR data. Among the isolates, antrocamphin A (1), antcin A (10), and antcin B (11) exhibited potent inhibition against fMLP-induced superoxide production with IC50 values less than 10 microM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
