Antitubercular Lanostane Triterpenes from Cultures of the Basidiomycete <i>Ganoderma</i> sp. BCC 16642

Abstract

Sixteen new lanostane triterpenoids (1-16), together with 26 known compounds (17-42), were isolated from cultures of the basidiomycete Ganoderma sp. BCC 16642. Antitubercular activities of these Ganoderma lanostanoids against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra were evaluated, and structure-activity relationships are proposed.
