Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6330-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.08.072. Epub 2007 Sep 2.

Abstract

From the fungus Stereum hirsutum have been isolated and identified two new epidioxysterols 1, 4, together with two known ones 2 and 3. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical reactions. Epidioxysterols 1-4 have been shown to possess a significant activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
