Russuphelins B, C, D, E and F, New Cytotoxic Substances from the Mushroom Russula subnigricans HONGO.

Abstract

Five new chlorinated phenyl ethers, russuphelins B (2), C (3), D (4), E (5) and F (6) have been isolated from the mushroom Russula subnigricans Hongo, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical means. Russuphelins B (2), C (3) and D (4) exhibited cytotoxic activity in vitro against P388 leukemia cells.
