Sesquiterpenoids from the cultured mycelia of Ganoderma capense

Eleven new sesquiterpenoids, including eight cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids, Ganodermanol A-H (1-8), and three eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids, Ganodermanol I-K (9-11), together with three known compounds (12-14), were isolated from the cultured mycelia of Ganoderma capense. Their structures and absolute configurations were identified through combined extensive spectroscopic analysis, circular dichroism (CD), and Mo2(AcO)4-induced CD. Compounds 4 and 9 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against the human cancer cell line HCT116 with IC50 values of 16.6 and 12.2 μM, respectively.
