Two new sesquiterpene derivatives (1 and 2), ramarin A (1) and ramarin B (2), together with three known compounds (3-5) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ramaria formosa. The structures of the two sesquiterpenes were established by extensive spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence. The inhibitory activity of the isolated compounds (1-5) against human neutrophil elastase (HNE) was evaluated in vitro. All compounds tested inhibited HNE by 35-30% at the highest concentration used (100 µM), whereas the positive control, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), exhibited 60% inhibition at 100 µM.

Sanghuang, a famous ethnomedicine widely used in China, Japan, Korea and other countries for a long history, is produced from the dried fruiting bodies of the medical fungi belonging to Sanghuangporus. With abundant bioactive natural chemicals including polysaccharides, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and polyphenols, Sanghuang exhibits anticancer, antioxidant, blood glucose-and lipid-lowering, liver protecting, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and gout symptom-relieving effects, thus demonstrating broad application and development prospects in the pharmaceutical and food fields. However, the sustainable development of Sanghuang resources is limited by the scarce stock of wild resources, the diverse original fungi of cultivated Sanghuang, the inconsistency of local standards of Sanghuang materials or products, and the lagging application of Sanghuangporus mycelia.
