A new amide tricholomine C was isolated from the dried fruiting bodies of Tricholoma bakamatsutake. Its structure was identified by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The ethyl alcohol crude extract and tricholomines A-C from T. bakamatsutake were evaluated for neuroprotective activities. Of these substances, the crude extract showed weak neurite outgrowth-promoting activity in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, as well as weak inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE).
