Two new compounds from Ganoderma lucidum

Abstract

Two pairs of new enantiomers, lucidulactones A and B (1 and 2), and two known compounds were isolated from Ganoderma lucidum. Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic methods. The chiral HPLC was used to separate the ( − )- and (+)-antipodes of the new compounds.

Keywords::
