Tuberindines A and B ( and ), truffle alkaloids with intriguing structures, were isolated from and detected in other truffle species. They appear to arise biosynthetically from amino acid and isosaccharinic units. Compound upregulated the expression of organic anion transporters OAT1 and ABCG2 and significantly exhibited antihyperuricemic bioactivity and , which might support the value of truffles as a dietary supplement.
