Abstract
Eight undescribed lanostane-type triterpenes (1–8) and twenty-seven known analogues (9–35) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of cultivated Ganoderma lucidum. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated using a combination of spectroscopic techniques. Ganosinenic acid D (1) and ganosinenic acid E (2) were identified as rare pentacyclic triterpenoids with an unusual four-membered carbon ring motif. The inhibitory effects of all compounds on lipid accumulation were evaluated in oleic acid (OA)-induced HepG2 cells. Among the tested compounds, ganolucidic acid G (7), lucidenic acid N (9), methyl lucidenate M (29) showed moderate inhibitory effects. Furthermore, lucidenic acid N inhibited lipid accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. The structure-activity relationship analysis revealed enhanced efficacy in side chain-degraded C27 nor-triterpenoids compared to C24 and C30 analogs.
