Erinaceolactones A to C, from the culture broth of Hericium erinaceus

Abstract

Three novel compounds, erinaceolactones A to C (1-3), and a known compound (4) were isolated from the culture broth of Hericium erinaceus. The planar structures of 1-3 were determined by the interpretation of spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of 3 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Although compound 4 had been synthesized, it was isolated from a natural source for the first time. In the bioassay examining plant-growth regulatory activity of these compounds (1-4) and other components of the fungus (5-8), compounds 1, 2, and 4-8 suppressed the growth of lettuce.
