Triterpenes from the Mushroom Hypholoma lateritium: Isolation, Structure Determination and Investigation in Bdelloid Rotifer Assays.

ABSTRACT: Twelve compounds (1?12) were isolated from the methanol extract of brick cap mushroom (Hypholoma lateritium (Schaeff.) P. Kumm.). The structures of the compounds were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analyses, including NMR and MS measurements. Lanosta-7,9(11)-diene-12?,21?-epoxy-2?,3?,24?,25-tetraol (1) and 8-hydroxy-13-oxo-9E,11E-octa-decadienoic acid (2) were identified as new natural products, together with ten known compounds, from which 3?-hydroxyergosta-7,22-diene (4), demethylincisterol A2 (5), cerevisterol (6), 3?-O-glucopyranosyl-5,8-epidioxyergosta-6,22-diene (7), fasciculol E (9), and uridine (12) were identified in this species for the first time. The isolated triterpenes (1, 3?11) were investigated for their toxicity in vivo using bdelloid rotifer assays. Most of the examined steroids in general showed low toxicity, although the effects of the compounds varied in a wider range from the non-toxic lanosta-7,9(11)-diene-12?,21?-epoxy-2?,3?,24?,25-tetraol (1) to the significantly toxic cerevisterol (6), with substantial dependence in some cases on the presence of nutrient in the experimental environment.
