Renoprotective phenolic meroterpenoids from the mushroom Ganoderma cochlear
摘要:
Twelve previously undescribed phenolic meroterpenoids, cochlearols N-Y, along with two known analogs, ganocochlearins B and C, were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma cochlear. Most of these substances were isolated as racemic mixtures. The structures of cochlearols N-Y were assigned based upon spectroscopic data and theoretical calculations. The renoprotective activities of these compounds were evaluated using normal and diseased rat renal interstitial fibroblast cells (NRK-49F). The results show that ganocochlearins S, U, X and Y display potent inhibitory activities against fibronectin overproduction in TGF-beta 1-induced NRK-49F cells.
