Publication date: September 2017 Source:Phytochemistry Letters, Volume 21 Author(s): Hua Guo, Quan-Ping Diao, Dong-Yan Hou, Zheng-Hui Li, Zhong-Yu Zhou, Tao Feng, Ji-Kai Liu Three illudin sesquiterpenoids, craterellins A–C, and one gymnomitrane sesquiterpenoids, gymnomitr-3-en-10β,15-diol, were isolated from cultures of the basidiomycete Craterellus cornucopioides, along with four previously reported compounds: illudin F, illudin M, illudin T and illudalenol. Structures of new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis and their cytotoxic activities on five tumor cell lines were evaluated. Graphical abstract
