K. Vokac et al., NEW ERGOSTANE TYPE ECDYSTEROIDS FROM FUNGI - ECDYSTEROID CONSTITUENTSOF MUSHROOM PAXILLUS-ATROTOMENTOSUS, Tetrahedron, 54(8), 1998, pp. 1657-1666
New ergostane type ecdysteroids from the mushroom species Paxillus atr
otomentosus: paxillosterone, its 20,22-p-hydroxybenzylidene acetal, at
rotosterones A, B and C and 25-hydroxyatrotosterones A and B have been
characterized. 20-Hydroxyecdysone asa minor constituent has also been
isolated. Configuration at C(24) of paxillosterone was derived from p
roton 2D-ROESY NMR spectra of its cyclic phenylboronate derivatives. C
onfiguration at C(24) of 25-hydroxyatrotosterone A was assigned by com
parison of its NMR spectra with the spectra of both 24-epimers of maki
sterone A. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
