Curtisians M-Q: Five Novel p-Terphenyl Derivatives from the Mushroom Paxillus curtisii

Abstract

Five novel p-terphenyl derivatives called curtisians M-Q (1-5) were isolated from the methanolic extract of fruit bodies of the Basidiomycete Paxillus curtisii. Their structures were elucidated by two dimensional (2D) NMR, MS, IR, and UV spectroscopy, and chemical reaction. Their antioxidative activities were also investigated.
