As a part of our systematic investigation of chemical constituents of Polyporaceous family fungi (Basidiomycetes), we studied the fungus of Fomes cajanderi P. Karst collected from Jiling province, China in 1997, and isolated 15 compounds, of which, compound 5 is a naturally occurring new metabolite, while 9, 11 and 12 are new derivatives. Their structures were identified by means of MS, NMR spectra and X-ray crystallographic analysis.

In our study, four species of wood-decaying fungi with perennial fruiting bodies were used as the source of biologically active compounds (BACs) - Inonotus obliquus (chaga), Fomitopsis pinicola, Fomes fomentarius, and Ganoderma applanatum. Fungi have a wide range of secondary metabolites but are used much less frequently than plants in both folk and official medicine. Fungotherapy could be considered a promising trend in the development of modern natural therapy.

White-rot fungi (WRF) are the most efficient lignin-degrading organisms in nature. However, their capacity to use lignin-related aromatic compounds, such as 4-hydroxybenzoate, as carbon sources has only been described recently. Previously, the hydroxyquinol pathway was proposed for the bioconversion of these compounds in fungi, but gene- and structure-function relationships of the full enzymatic pathway remain uncharacterized in any single fungal species.
