Thelephantins A, B and C: three benzoyl p-terphenyl derivatives from the inedible mushroom Thelephora aurantiotincta

Phytochemistry. 2003 Jan;62(1):109-13. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(02)00403-x.

Abstract

Three benzoyl p-terphenyl derivatives named thelephantins A, B and C were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of fruit bodies of the Thelephoraceous Basidiomycete Thelephora aurantiotincta. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of high-resolution 2D NMR, MS, IR and UV spectra.
