Phytochemical investigation of the AcOEt extract of G. Lucidum has led to the isolation of two new triterpenoids, 1 and 2, together with five known ones, 3-7. The structures of the new compounds were identified as 12β-acetoxy-3β,7β-dihydroxy-11,15,23-trioxolanost-8-en-26-oic acid butyl ester (1) and 12β-acetoxy-3,7,11,15,23-pentaoxolanost-8-en-26-oic acid butyl ester (2) on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis (mass spectrometry, and 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments). The antimicrobial activities of 1 and 2 were also evaluated.
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.
