Phosphatidylcholine and ceramide derivatives from white rot fungus Microporus xanthropus PP17-20.

ABSTRACT

The undescribed phosphatidylcholine (1), along with twelve known compounds, was isolated from the cultures of white rot fungus Microporus xanthropus PP17-20. In this work the fungus was cultivated in Yeast-Malt extract medium to explore active compound production. The chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and HRESIMS data. Several isolated compounds were evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against A549 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.
