Phytochemistry. 2003 Aug;63(8):919-24. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(03)00220-6.

Abstract

Five p-terphenyl derivatives named thelephantins D-H (1-5) together with nine known compounds, thelephantins A-C (6-8), ganbajunin E (9), p-hydroxylbenzoic acid (10), ganbajunin C (11), thelephorin A (12), 2-O-methylatromentin (13) and atromentin (14), were isolated from the methanolic extract of fruit bodies of the Thelephoraceous Basidiomycete Thelephora aurantiotincta. Their structures were elucidated by high-resolution MS, 2D NMR, IR and UV spectroscopic analysis.
