First total synthesis of antrocamphin A and its analogs as anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet aggregation agents

Org Biomol Chem. 2011 Jan 7;9(1):70-3. doi: 10.1039/c0ob00616e. Epub 2010 Nov 18.

Abstract

Naturally occurring antrocamphin A (1) is a potent anti-inflammatory compound from the edible fungus Antrodia camphorata (Taiwanofungus camphoratus), whose wild fruiting body is used as a valuable folk medicine in Taiwan. This study is the first total synthesis of antrocamphin A (1) and its analogs. Their inhibition ability on NO release, superoxide anion generation, elastase release and platelet aggregation are reported herein.
