摘要
Two unusual sesquiterpenoids,irpexlactones A(1)and B(2),were isolated from cultures of the basidiomycete Irpex lacteus.Their structures were established by means of spectroscopic methods,the single crystal X-ray diffraction,as well as electronic circular dichroism(ECD)calculations.They possess a novel carbon skeleton with a 5/6/3-fused ring system that may derive from tremulane type sesquiterpenoids with ring-rearrangement.Both compounds show significant inhibitory activities against nitric oxide production with half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)values of 2.2 and 1.4μmol/L,respectively.Their anti-inflammatory effects were further evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and Western blot.
