Three known sesquiterpenoids of the lactarane and secolactarane type,
deoxylactarorufin A (1), blennin A (2) and blennin C (3), have been ob
tained from cultures of Lentinellus cochleatus (Basidiomycetes) togeth
er with the new metabolites (Z)-2-chloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-
1-ol (4) and lentinellone (5), a protoilludane derivative. The structu
res were determined by spectroscopic Investigations. 1, 2 and 3 are po
tent inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis in rat basophilic leukemia
(RBL-1) cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL).
