From the fruit body of the fungus Gastropila fragilis, three steroids
ergostan derivatives were isolated and identified: ergosta-5,7,22-trie
n-3 beta-ol (ergosterol) (I), ergosta-7,22-dien-3 beta-ona (ii); ergos
ta-7,22-dien-3 beta-ol (III). Their molecular structures were determin
ed by spectrometric methods, UV, IR, H-1 y C-13-NMR, MS and by compari
ng with authentic samples.
