Aethiopinolones A-E, New Pregnenolone Type Steroids from the East African Basidiomycete Fomitiporia aethiopica.
A mycelial culture of the Kenyan basidiomycete Fomitiporia aethiopica was fermented on rice and the cultures were extracted with methanol. Subsequent HPLC profiling and preparative chromatography of its crude extract led to the isolation of five previously undescribed pregnenolone type triterpenes 1-5, for which we propose the trivial name aethiopinolones A-E. The chemical structures of the aet...
متن کاملFomitiporia mediterranea, a new basidiomycete species for mycobiota of Iran
During last decade, the decline of elm trees was observed in Fars province (Iran) due to a wood decaying agent in heartwood of the trees. Unknown basidiomycete isolates were frequently isolated from such trees. The objective of the present study was to identify the basidiomycete isolates by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA. For this purpose, i...
متن کامل3 -Hydroxypregnane Steroids Are Pregnenolone Sulfate-Like GABAA Receptor Antagonists
Endogenous neurosteroids have rapid actions on ion channels, particularly GABAA receptors, which are potentiated by nanomolar concentrations of 3 -hydroxypregnane neurosteroids. Previous evidence suggests that 3 -hydroxypregnane steroids may competitively antagonize potentiation induced by their 3 diastereomers. Because of the potential importance of antagonists as experimental and clinical too...
متن کاملThe strobilurins--new antifungal antibiotics from the basidiomycete Strobilurus tenacellus.
The strobilurins are two antifungal antibiotics which were isolated from the mycelium of Strobilurus tenacellus strain No. 21602. The strobilurins A and B are highly active against yeasts and filamentous fungi. In vitro antitumor activity was tested using cells of the ascitic form of EHRLICH carcinoma. The strobilurins strongly inhibited the incorporation of radioactive leucine, uridine, and th...
متن کاملMemory-enhancing effects in male mice of pregnenolone and steroids metabolically derived from it.
Immediate post-training intracerebroventricular administration to male mice of pregnenolone (P), pregnenolone sulfate (PS), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), androstenedione, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, or aldosterone caused improvement of retention for footshock active avoidance training, while estrone, estradiol, progesterone, or 16 beta-bromoepiand...
