Abstract

Four new triterpenoid compounds, 1-4, were isolated from the mycelium of a basidiomycete, Fomitella fraxinea, and their structures determined by spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1-5 inhibited calf DNA polymerase alpha and rat DNA polymerase beta, with respective minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranges of 35-75 and 90-130 microM.
