A new cerebroside from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus and its applicability to cancer treatment

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2015 Dec 15;25(24):5712-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.10.092. Epub 2015 Nov 2.

Abstract

A new cerebroside, cerebroside E (1) was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus (Hericiaceae). The structure of 1 was elucidated by a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including extensive 2D NMR, HR-MS, and chemical reactions. Compound 1 was evaluated for its applicability to medicinal use in several human diseases using cell-based assays. As a result, compound 1 attenuated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in LLC-PK1 cells and exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on angiogenesis in HUVECs. These results collectively reflect the beneficial effects of compound 1 in cancer treatment.

Keywords: Angiogenesis; Cerebroside; Hericiaceae; Hericium erinaceus; Nephrotoxicity.
