Abstract

As a part of our systematic investigation of chemical constituents of Polyporaceous family fungi (Basidiomycetes), we studied the fungus of Fomes cajanderi P. Karst collected from Jiling province, China in 1997, and isolated 15 compounds, of which, compound 5 is a naturally occurring new metabolite, while 9, 11 and 12 are new derivatives. Their structures were identified by means of MS, NMR spectra and X-ray crystallographic analysis.
