Antitumor Compounds from the Stout Camphor Mushroom Taiwanofungus camphoratus (Higher Basidiomycetes) Spent Culture Broth

Int J Med Mushrooms. 2015;17(6):533-40. doi: 10.1615/intjmedmushrooms.v17.i6.40.

Abstract

A known compound, 5-(hydroxymethyl) furan-2-carbaldehyde, and a novel compound, 3-isobutyl-1-methoxy-4-(4'-(3-methylbut-2-enyloxy)phenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione were isolated from spent broth from submerged cultures of Taiwanofungus camphoratus. Their structures were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C, and 2D) and mass spectra. These compounds inhibited the proliferation of K562 and HepG2 tumor cells in vitro.
