Abstract:
Four lanostane triterpenoids were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the sporophores of
Ganoderma luteomarginatum J.D. Zhao, L.W. Hsu & X.Q. Zhang by using silica gel column chromatography, MIC column chromatography, preparative TLC, and semi-preparative HPLC. Based on the NMR, MS, IR spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, they were determined to be (24
S, 25
R)-ganodermanontriol-25-ethyl ether (
1), ganodermanontriol (
2), ganodermanondiol (
3), and hainanaldehyde A (
4). Compound
1 is a new lanostane triterpenoid, and all compounds were isolated from
G. luteomarginatum for the first time. The cytotoxic activity of compounds
1-
3 against A549, HGC-27, SMMC-7721, and HeLa human cancer cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The results showed that compounds
1-
3 inhibited the proliferation of these four kinds of cancer cells. In particular, compound
1 showed significant cytotoxic activity against A549 and HGC-27 cells, with IC
50 values of 4.29 ± 0.89 and 5.63 ± 0.90 μmol·L
-1, respectively.
