  • macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxins from a deadly Poisonous Mushroom podostroma cornu damae
    Journal of Natural Products, 2019
    Co-Authors: Seoung Rak Lee, Rhim Ryoo, Soon Ja Seok, Sang Un Choi, Ki-hyun Kim
    Abstract:

    Three new macrocyclic trichothecenes (1–3) and five known related compounds (4–8) were isolated from the MeOH extract of a plate culture of the fungus Podostroma cornu-damae, a deadly Poisonous Mushroom. Miophytocen D (1) is a rearranged macrocyclic type D trichothecene, featuring a bicyclo-[6.5]dodecahydrocyclopenta[b]chromene scaffold, and the structures of new compounds (1–3) were delineated by the combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic experiments and HRESIMS, modified Mosher’s esterification, and quantum chemical ECD calculations. The isolated compounds (1–8) were evaluated for cytotoxicity against four human breast cancer cell lines (Bt549, HCC70, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468). Compounds 4, 6, and 8 exhibited significant cytotoxic effects against the breast cancer cell lines, with IC50 values in the range of 0.02–80 nM, which is stronger than doxorubicin, the positive control, and a structure–activity relationship was suggested.

  • macrolepiotin a new indole alkaloid from macrolepiota neomastoidea
    The Journal of Antibiotics, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ki-hyun Kim, Sang Un Choi, Ki Moon Park, Kang Ro Lee
    Abstract:

    The fungi of the genus, Macrolepiota, are grouped under the family Agaricaceae (division Basidiomycota) and comprise B20 species. Various biological activities of the genus, Macrolepiota, have been reported, including anti-microbial, antioxidant and enzyme (trypsin, monophenolase) activities.1–5 However, few species have been studied with regard to their secondary metabolites. Only several free amino acids, fatty acids and sterols have been reported from Macrolepiota excoriata, Macrolepiota procera and Macrolepiota thacodes.6 Therefore, as part of a systematic study of Korean Mushrooms,7 we investigated the constituents of the fruiting bodies of the Mushroom Macrolepiota neomastoidea, widely distributed throughout Korea and other East Asian countries. This is a Poisonous Mushroom known to cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, including intestinal irritation, vomiting and profuse diarrhea.8 Thus far, little work has been done on the chemical constituents of M. neomastoidea, except for the isolation of two compounds, lepiotins A and B.9 Recently, we reported the isolation of lepiotin C and (R)-5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one, as well as lepiotins A and B.10 As part of a continuing study, we have further isolated a new indole alkaloid named macrolepiotin (1), together with four known ergosterols, (22E,24R)-5a,8a-epidioxyergosta-6,9,22-triene-3b-ol (2),11 (22E,24R)-5a,8a-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3b-ol (3),12 (24S)-ergost-7-en-3b-ol (4)13 and (22E,24R)-5a,6a-epoxyergosta-9(14),22-diene-3b,7a-diol (5).14 In this study, we describe the isolation and structural elucidation of 1 and the cytotoxic activities of compounds 1–5.

  • Trichothecene and tremulane sesquiterpenes from a hallucinogenic Mushroom Gymnopilus junonius and their cytotoxicity
    Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rhim Ryoo, Jin Hee Choi
    Abstract:

    Gymnopilus junonius (Fr.) P. D. Orton (Cortinariaceae) is a hallucinogenic Mushroom, a well-known Poisonous Mushroom that is widely known as "big laughter Mushroom" because it causes excessive laughter in those who consume it. Chemical investigation of G. junonius fruiting bodies was performed, resulting in the isolation and structural identification of three sesquiterpenes ( 1−3 ), including a new trichothecene sesquiterpene ( 2 ) and a new tremulane sesquiterpene ( 3 ). Compound 1 was identified from G. junonius for the first time. The chemical structures of the new compounds were established by detailed analysis of 1D and 2D (^1H–^1H correlated spectroscopy [COSY], heteronuclear single quantum coherence [HSQC], and heteronuclear multiple-bond coherence [HMBC]) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). In particular, the absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were unambiguously determined by quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The isolated compounds ( 1−3 ) were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on human lung and prostate cancer cell lines where trichothecene sesquiterpenes ( 1 and 2 ) showed remarkable cytotoxicity similar to that of the control drug, i.e., doxorubicin. Our findings provide experimental evidence suggesting the potential anti-cancer effects of trichothecene sesquiterpenes from a Poisonous Mushroom.
