Twelve ergostanoids, named antcamphins A–L (1–12), together with 20 known triterpenoids, were isolated from fruiting bodies of the medicinal fungus Antrodia camphorata. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first examples of norergostanes isolated from A. camphorata, and compounds 3 and 4 are the first pair of cis–trans isomers of ergostane-type triterpenoids containing an aldehyde group. Compounds 5–12

Zhankuic acid A (ZAA) is the major pharmacologically active compound of
Taiwanofungus camphoratus
. We analyzed the structure of human TLR4/MD-2 complex with ZAA by X-score and HotLig modeling approaches. Two antibodies against MD-2 were used to verify the MD-2/ZAA interaction. The inflammation and survival of the mice pretreated with ZAA and injected with LPS were monitored. The modeling structure shows that ZAA binds the MD-2 hydrophobic pocket exclusively via specific molecular recognition; the contact interface is dominated by hydrophobic interactions. Binding of ZAA to MD-2 reduced antibody recognition to native MD-2, similar to the effect of LPS binding. Furthermore, ZAA significantly ameliorated LPS-induced endotoxemia and
Salmonella
-induced diarrhea in mice. Our results indicate that ZAA, which can compete with LPS for binding to MD-2 as a TLR4/MD-2 antagonist, is a potential therapeutic agent for Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Disclosed are the isolation, purification and analysis of the triterpenoid compositions (including ergostane and lanostane) in the fruiting body of
Antrodia cinnamomea
using HPLC and NMR, as well as the stereo structures and the amounts of the triterpenoid compositions. The cytotoxicity of triterpenoids is also revealed. Based on the aforementioned techniques, the presence and amounts of ergostane and lanostane in the drugs, healthcare food or other goods are able to be detected.
