H. Kawagishi et al., ERINACINE-A, ERINACINE-B AND ERINACINE-C, STRONG STIMULATORS OF NERVEGROWTH-FACTOR (NGF)-SYNTHESIS, FROM THE MYCELIA OF HERICIUM ERINACEUM, Tetrahedron letters, 35(10), 1994, pp. 1569-1572
The structures of novel diterpenoids, erinacines A, B, and C, isolated
from the cultured mycelia of Hericium erinaceum were determined by in
terpretation of the spectral data, and chemical and enzymatic reaction
s. These compounds showed potent stimulating activity of nerve growth
Factor (NGF)-synthesis.
