The CHCl₃ fraction of the MeOH extract of Ganoderma gibbosum (Ganodermataceae) exhibited cytotoxic activity on five cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, SK-hep1, A549, HCT116, and SNU638). Six highly oxygenated lanostane-type triterpenoids (lanostanoids) were isolated by column chromatography to test cytotoxicity on cancer cells. The five known lanostanoids were identified as gibbosic acids A, B, D, G, and H by comparison of molecular ion peaks with the literature data. The structure of a new lanostanoid, gibbosic acids I, was identified to be 3β,8β,15β,20S-tetrahydroxy-7,12,23-trioxolanost-9(11)-en-26-oic acid on the basis of NMR and MS spectroscopy. The three lanostanoids of gibbosic acids A, H, and I of the six isolates significantly suppressed the growth of cancer cells. In particular, the IC₅₀ of gibbosic acid H was prominently low ranging from 2.64-6.56 μM.

Four new lanostane-type triterpenes were isolated from CH$_2$Cl$_2$ fraction of Ganoderma applanatum (Polyporaceae). There structures were determined as (20S)-3${\beta}$, 7${\beta}$, 20,23ζ-tetrahydroxy-1l,15-dioxolanosta-8-en-26-oic acid, (20S)-7${\beta}$,20,23ζ- trihydroxy-3,1l,15-trioxolanosta-8-en-26-oic acid, 7${\beta}$,23ζ-dihydroxy-3,11,15- trioxolanosta-8,20E(22)-dien-26-oic acid, and 7${\beta}$-hydroxy-3, 11,15,23-tetraoxolanosta-8,20E(22)-dien-26-oic acid methyl ester on the basis of spectral data.

A new compound, 3��-acetoxylanosta-7,9(11),24-triene-26-al (3), and seven known compounds (1 - 2 and 4 - 8) were isolated from Ganoderma tropicum (Jung.) Bres. collected in Tay Nguyen, Vietnam. The structures of these compounds were determined by one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and high-resolution ESI-MS, and by comparison with literature data. All of the isolated compounds were tested for nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae-stimulated RAW 246.7 cells. Among them, compounds 2 - 4 and 6 - 8 enhanced the NBT reduction in a dose-dependent manner.

Pachymic acid는 복령에서 분리된 lanostane-type인 triterpenoid의 일종이다. 최근 pachymic acid가 항암 및 항염증 효능과 산화적 스트레스에 대한 항산화 효능 등과 같은 약리적인 효능이 있는 것으로 밝혀지고 있으나, 그에 대한 구체적인 분자생물학적 기전 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 pachymic acid의 항암활성 및 관련 기전 조사의 일환으로 T24 인체 방광암세포 모델을 이용하여 pachymic acid에 의한 apoptosis 유발 여부를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 pachymic acid는 T24 세포의 증식을 유의적으로 억제시켰으며, 이는 apoptosis 유발과 연관성이 있음을 다양한 방법으로 확인하였다. Pachymic acid에 의한 apoptosis 유도에는 pro-apoptotic 인자들의 발현 증가와 anti-apoptotic 유전자 산물들의 발현 감소가 동반되었으며, MMP의 소실과 tBid의 발현 증가가 관찰되었다. 아울러 pachymic acid는 extrinsic 및 intrinsic apoptosis 경로의 개시에 관여하는 caspase-8 및 -9의 활성뿐 만 아니라, caspase-3의 활성도 증가시킴으로서 PARP와 같은 기질 단백질의 단편화를 초래하였다. 따라서 pachymic acid는 항암활성을 지니는 천연생리활성 물질로서의 잠재력이 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다.

오미자(Schisandra chinensis)는 오미자과에 속하는 낙엽활엽덩굴식물로 한국, 일본, 중국, 대만 등 동아시아에 널리 분포한다. 오미자에 함유된 주요 성분에는 리그난 화합물뿐만 아니라 트리테르페노이드 화합물도 포함되어 있는 것으로 보고되었다. 한국 산지별 오미자의 특성을 구별하기 위해 대사산물 프로파일링과 다변량 통계 분석 기법인 PCA을 수행하여 판별식을 설정하였고, 그 결과 triterpenoids 16종, lignan 9종, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, fatty acid 각 1종을 동정하였다. 또한 다변량 통계분석을 통해 OPLS-DA의 s-plot 모델을 적용하여 단양, 문경, 거창, 평창의 4개 그룹을 구분하는 것을 확인하였고, lanostane, cycloartane, 그리고 schiartane triterpenoid, dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan 이 각각 화학적마커로 동정하였다.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, the demand for more effective and safer therapeutic agents for the chemoprevention of human cancer has increased. As a white rot fungus, Inonotus obliquus is valued as an edible and medicinal resource. Chemical investigations have shown that I. obliquus produces a diverse range of secondary metabolites, including phenolic compounds, melanins, and lanostane-type triterpenoids. Among these are active components for antioxidant, antitumoral, and antiviral activities and for improving human immunity against infection of pathogenic microbes. Importantly, their anticancer activities have become a hot recently, but with relatively little knowledge of their modes of action. Some compounds extracted from I. obliquus arrest cancer cells in the G0/G1 phase and then induce cell apoptosis or differentiation, whereas some examples directly participate in the cell apoptosis pathway. In other cases, polysaccharides from I. obliquus can indirectly be involved in anticancer processes mainly via stimulating the immune system. Furthermore, the antioxidative ability of I. obliquus extracts can prevent generation of cancer cells. In this review, we highlight recent findings regarding mechanisms underlying the anticancer influence of I. obliquus, to provide a comprehensive landscape view of the actions of this mushroom in preventing cancer.

Four known lanostane triterpenoids, schiprolactone A (1), schisanlactone B (2), nigranoic acid (3) and schisandronic acid (4) Were isolated from the stems of Schisandra henryi for the first time. Their structures were characterized by IR, MS and NMR techniques. Compounds 1, 2 and 4 showed moderate cytotoxic activity against Leukemia cells in vitro. Cytotoxic activity of compounds 1-4 showed $IC_{50}$ of 0.0097, 0.01, 0.097 and 0.0099 $\mu$ mol/mL respectively toward Leukemia cells and $IC_{50}$ of 0.097, 0.1, 0.097 and 0.099 $\mu$mol/mL toward Hela cells respectively. It is the first report that these compounds possess cytotoxic activity on Leukemia and Hela cells.
