Lactarane type sesquiterpenoids as inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and other, new metabolites from submerged cultures of Lentinellus cochleatus (Pers. ex Fr.) Karst

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 1996 Jul-Aug;51(7-8):493-9.

Abstract

Three known sesquiterpenoids of the lactarane and secolactarane type, deoxylactarorufin A (1), blennin A (2) and blennin C (3), have been obtained from cultures of Lentinellus cochleatus (Basidiomycetes) together with the new metabolites (Z)-2-chloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-ol (4) and lentinellone (5), a protoilludane derivative. The structures were determined by spectroscopic investigations. 1, 2 and 3 are potent inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL).
