Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2014;62(1):122-4. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c13-00722.

Abstract

A new spiroindene pigment, phelliribsin A, was isolated from the medicinal fungus Phellinus ribis, and its structure was determined by two dimensional (2D)-NMR methods. Phelliribsin A is an unprecedented spiroindene compound, and was found to have cytotoxic activity against PC12 cells at a concentration of 30 µM.
