樟薄孔菌(Antrodia camphorate)又名牛樟芝或樟芝,為台灣特有真菌,生長在台灣本土特有牛樟樹(Cinnamomum kanehirae)上,民間傳頌牛樟芝具有藥食物中毒之解毒作用,亦可治療腹瀉、肚子痛,高血壓,皮膚癢,及肝癌等。經本次實驗研究,從牛樟芝子實體酒精抽取物分離出十四種成分,分別為3β,15α-dihydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic acid、antcin K、dehydroeburicoic acid、eburicoic acid、methyl antcinate B、methyl antcinate H、zhankuic acid A、zhankuic acid B、dehydrosulphurenic acid、sulphurenic acid、15α-acetyl-dehydrosulphurenic acid、versisponic acid D、zhankuic acid C、和2,2',5,5'-tetramethoxy-3,4,3',4'-bis(methlylenedioxy)-6,6'-dimethylbiphenyl。其中四種成分3β,15α-dihydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic acid (1)、antcin K(2)、sulphurenic acid 及versisponic acid D,係首次從牛樟芝獲得,成分1及2兩種更是首次在天然物界發現。
Fourteen compounds (one biphenyl, six ergostane, and seven lanostane derivatives) have been isolated from the fruiting body of Antrodia camphorata. They are 3β, 15α-dihydroxylanosta-7, 9 (11), 24-trien-21-oic acid, antcin K, dehydroeburicoic acid, eburicoic acid, methyl antcinate B, methyl antcinate H, zhankuic acid A, zhankuic acid B, dehydrosulphurenic acid, sulphurenic acid, 15α-acetyl-dehydrosulphurenic acid, versisponic acid D, zhankuic acid C, and 2, 2', 5, 5'-tetramethoxy-3, 4, 3', 4'-bis (methlylenedioxy) -6, 6'-dimethylbiphenyl. Among them, two lanostane-type compounds-sulphurenic acid and versisponic acid D were not previously reported from this fungus. 3β, 15α-Dihydroxylanosta-7, 9 (11), 24-trien-21-oic acid and antcin K are first found from nature and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods.
