RESUMO
Inotodiol, a lanostane-type triterpenoid, and many phytochemicals from Chaga mushrooms have been investigated for various allergic diseases. However, the anti-aging and anti-inflammatory activities of inotodiol under different types of oxidative stress and the impact of inotodiol on collagen and hyaluronan synthesis have not been sufficiently studied. Lanostane triterpenoids-rich concentrate, which contained 10% inotodiol as major (inotodiol concentrate), was prepared from Chaga and compared with pure inotodiol in terms of anti-inflammatory activities on a human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT cells, under various stimulations such as stimulation with ultraviolet (UV) B or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. In stimulation with TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, and IL-8 genes were significantly repressed by 0.44~4.0 µg/mL of pure inotodiol. UVB irradiation induced the overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but those genes were significantly suppressed by pure inotodiol or inotodiol concentrate. Moreover, pure inotodiol/inotodiol concentrate could also modulate the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid by controlling COL1A2 and HAS2/3 expression, which implies a crucial role for pure inotodiol/inotodiol concentrate in the prevention of skin aging. These results illuminate the anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects of pure inotodiol/inotodiol concentrate, and it is highly conceivable that pure inotodiol and inotodiol concentrate could be promising natural bioactive substances to be incorporated in therapeutic and beautifying applications.

Smilax sieboldii, a climbing tree belonging to Smilacaceae, has been used in traditional oriental medicine for treating arthritis, tumors, leprosy, psoriasis, and lumbago. To evaluate the anti-obesity effects of S. sieboldii (Smilacaceae), we screened methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), aqueous-saturated n-butanol, and ethanol (EtOH) extracts of the whole plant at various concentrations to inhibit adipogenesis in adipocytes. The 3T3-L1 cell line with Oil red O staining with the help of fluorometry was used as an indicator of anti-obesity activity. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the EtOH extract and subsequent phytochemical investigation of the active CH2Cl2- and EtOAc-soluble fractions resulted in the isolation of 19 secondary metabolites (1-19), including a new α-hydroxy acid derivative (16) and two new lanostane-type triterpenoids (17 and 18). The structures of these compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic methods. All the isolated compounds were screened for adipogenesis inhibition at a concentration of 100 µM. Of these, compounds 1, 2, 4-9, 15, and 19 significantly reduced fat accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, especially compounds 4, 7, 9, and 19, showing 37.05 ± 0.95, 8.60 ± 0.41 15.82 ± 1.23, and 17.73 ± 1.28% lipid content, respectively, at a concentration of 100 µM. These findings provide experimental evidence that isolates from S. sieboldii extracts exert beneficial effects regarding the regulation of adipocyte differentiation.

Poria cocos Wolf (Polyporaceae) has been used as a medicinal fungus to treat various diseases since ancient times. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory chemical constituents of the sclerotia of P. cocos. Based on bioassay-guided fractionation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw264.7 cells, chemical investigation of the EtOH extract of the sclerotia of P. cocos resulted in the isolation and identification of eight compounds including six triterpenoids, namely poricoic acid A (1), 3-O-acetyl-16α-hydroxydehydrotrametenolic acid (2), polyporenic acid C (3), 3ß-hydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic acid (4), trametenolic acid (5), and dehydroeburicoic acid (6), as well as (-)-pinoresinol (7) and protocatechualdehyde (8). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1H and 13C NMR spectra, and LC/MS analysis. The anti-inflammatory activities of the isolates were evaluated by estimating their effect on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 as well as on the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Compounds 1-5 inhibited NO production and iNOS expression in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 cells. Among them, compound 1 exerted the highest anti-inhibitory activity and reduced PGE2 levels via downregulation of COX-2 protein expression. The findings of this study provide experimental evidence that the sclerotia of P. cocos are a potential source of natural anti-inflammatory agents for use in pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Furthermore, the most active compound 1, seco-lanostane triterpenoid, could be a promising lead compound for the development of novel anti-inflammatory agents.

Lanostane-type triterpenoids are the main characteristic constituents in Ganoderma mushrooms. Phytochemical analysis on the ethanol extract of the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma amboinense led to isolation and identification of twelve previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids (1-12). Their chemical structures were determined by HR-ESI-MS, IR, and NMR spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculation, as well as X-ray crystallography. All isolates were evaluated for the α-glucosidase inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities. Compounds 1, 5, 6, and 11 showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 33.5 µM to 96.0 µM. Moreover, compound 12 showed anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 21.7 ± 2.1 µM.

The isolation of lanostane triterpenoids possessing significant anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) activity from mycelial cultures of the basidiomycete Ganoderma australe strain TBRC-BCC 22314 was previously reported. To demonstrate the potential of the dried mycelial powder for utilization in anti-TB medicinal products, its authentic chemical analysis was performed. Considering the possibility of the changes in the lanostane compositions and anti-TB activity by sterilization, both autoclave treated and non-autoclaved mycelial powder materials were chemically investigated. The study led to the identification of the lanostanes responsible for the activity of the mycelial extract against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. The anti-TB activity of the extracts from autoclaved and non-autoclaved mycelial powders were the same (MIC 3.13 µg/mL). However, the analytical results revealed several unique chemical conversions of the lanostanes under the sterilization conditions. The most potent major lanostane, ganodermic acid S (1), was shown to be significantly active also against the extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of M. tuberculosis.

One new lanostane-type triterpenoid, 3ß-acetoxy-7,11-dioxolanosta-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (1), together with six known analogues (2-7), were isolated from the cultures of a marine fungus Ceriporia lacerata CD7-5, which was derived from the shellfish Ostrea denselamellosa. Their structures were determined by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data and comparison with the literature reported. The biological activities of these lanostane triterpenoids against marine-derived microalgae, zooplankton, and pathogenic bacteria were also evaluated in this study.
RESUMO
Thirteen previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, as well as nine known lanostane triterpenoids, were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Fomitopsis pinicola (Sw.) P. Karst. Their structures and absolute configurations were characterized by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Nor-pinicolic acids A-F possess unusual C-25-C-27 nor-lanostane skeletons, which were first reported from F. pinicola. Anti-inflammatory assays indicated that pinicopsic acid F and 16α-hydroxy-3-oxolanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic acid showed moderate inhibitory activities against LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells, with IC50 values of 24.5 and 25.7 µM, respectively.

Our previous research has shown that lanostane triterpenoids from Ganoderma applanatum exhibit significant anti-adipogenesis effects. In order to obtain more structurally diverse lanostane triterpenoids to establish a structure-activity relationship, we continued the study of lanostane triterpenoids from the fruiting bodies of G. applanatum, and forty highly oxygenated lanostane-type triterpenoinds (1-40), including sixteen new compounds (1-16), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated using NMR spectra, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and Mosher's method. In addition, some of their parts were evaluated to determine their anti-adipogenesis activities in the 3T3-L1 cell model. The results showed that compounds 16, 22, 28, and 32 exhibited stronger anti-adipogenesis effects than the positive control (LiCl, 20 mM) at the concentration of 20 µM. Compounds 15 and 20 could significantly reduce the lipid accumulation during the differentiation process of 3T3-L1 cells, comparable to the untreated group. Their IC50 values were 6.42 and 5.39 µM, respectively. The combined results of our previous and present studies allow us to establish a structure-activity relationship of lanostane triterpenoids, indicating that the A-seco-23â26 lactone skeleton could play a key role in anti-adipogenesis activity.
RESUMO
Three new highly oxygenated lanostane triterpenoids, applanaic acids A-C (1-3), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Ganoderma applanatum. Among them, applanaic acid B (2) possessed the Δ17(20)-double bond connection between the side chain and the tetracyclic skeleton, which was not common in the natural lanostane triterpenoids. Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis. Compound 3 showed a weak acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitory activity with 33.5% inhibition rate at 50 µM.[Figure: see text].

An investigation of the fruiting bodies of edible mushroom Ganoderma lucidum produced 13 steroids, containing one new lanostane-type triterpene compound, named ganoderterpene A (1). Nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry data were used to deduce these structures. All the isolates were evaluated for their ability to suppress NO generation in BV-2 microglial cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and exhibited moderate to strong inhibition effects, with IC50 values in the range 7.15-36.88 µM. Among the tested compounds, compound 1 exhibited the most marked activity with an IC50 value of 7.15 µM, and the structure-activity relationships were studied. This study showed that compound 1 significantly suppressed the activation of MAPK and TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathways, as evidenced by an immunofluorescence assay and a molecular docking experiment. Furthermore, compound 1 effectively improved the LPS-induced mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis. These findings suggest that ganoderterpene A could exert protective effects in microglial cells from apoptosis by restraining the inflammatory response. Hence, G. lucidum could be used as a novel preventative agent for neurodegenerative disorders.

Phytochemical and biological studies of the methanolic extracts from Ganoderma lucidum (Polyporaceae) have led to the identification and isolation of a new lanostane triterpenoid, ganosidone A (1), and its eight known derivatives (2â9). The structure of new compound was determined by HREIMS, 1 D and 2 D NMR experiments and by comparing the acquired physicochemical data with the published values. All the compounds were evaluated for cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells in vitro. Notably, at a concentration of 50 µM, compounds 4 and 7 inhibited NO production by 86.5% and 88.2%, respectively.
