| Abstract: | Two blazeispirane derivatives including blazeispirols G and I were isolated from the cultured mycelia of the fungus Agaricus blazei Murill and were established to be (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22: 22,25-diepoxy-5-methoxy-des-A-ergosta-5,7,9-triene-11 alpha,23-diol and (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22:22,25-diepoxy-5-methoxy-des-A-ergosta-5,7,9,11-tetraene-23,28-diol by comparison of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectral data with that of blazeispirol A. Furthermore, four blazeispirol derivatives blazeispirols, U, V, V(1) and Z(1) were isolated form the same source described above. Their structures were determined to be (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22:22,25-diepoxy-23-hydroxyergosta-4,6,8,11-tetraen-3-one, (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22:22,25-diepoxy-6 alpha,7 alpha,23-trihydroxyergosta-4,8,11-trien-3-one, (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22:22,25-diepoxy-6 beta,7 alpha,23-trihydroxyergosta-4,8,11-trien-3-one and (20S, 22S, 23R, 24S)-14 beta,22:22,25-diepoxy-23-hydroxy-4,5-seco-ergosta-6,8-diene-3,5-dione by extensive 1 D and 2D NMR spectral data. |
