ABSTRACT


Phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate extract of the fruiting bodies from the basidiomycete Piptoporus betulinus led to the isolation of a new bioactive lanostane triterpene identified as 3 b -acetoxy-16-hydroxy-24-oxo-5α-lanosta-8- ene-21-oic acid (1). In addition, ten known triterpenes, polyporenic acid A (5), polyporenic acid C (4), three derivatives of polyporenic acid A (8, 10, 11), betulinic acid (3), betulin (2), ergosterol peroxide (6), 9,11-dehydroergosterol peroxide (7), and fomefficinic acid (9), were also isolated from the fungus. All isolated compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as against a fungal strain. The new triterpene and some of the other compounds showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
