Seventeen lanostane-type triterpenoid derivatives (2 - 18), including 11N-glycosides (8 - 18), were synthesized from the natural triterpenoid, lanosterol (1), and were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines, HL-60, A549, and MKN45, as well as the normal human lung cells, WI-38. Among them, N-β-d-2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucoside (10) showed cytotoxicity against HL-60, A549, MKN45, and WI-38 cells (IC 0.0078 - 2.8 μm). However, N-β-d-galactoside (12) showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and MKN45 cells (IC 0.0021 - 4.0 μm), but not the normal WI-38 cells. Furthermore, Western blot analysis suggested that 12 induces apoptosis by activation of caspases-3, 8, and 9. These results will be useful for the synthesis of other tetracyclic triterpenoids or steroid N-glycosides to increase their cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing activities.

Through different gene mining strategies, three key enzymes (AcCYP4, AcSDR6, AcSMT1) involved in the downstream biosynthesis of major lanostane-type triterpenoids were discovered and identified from Antrodia camphorata. The catalytic mechanisms of AcSDR6 were elucidated by crystal structure analysis. These post-modification enzymes could be used to synthesize at least 11 major Antrodia lanostanoids.

Objectives: Ganoderma lucidum (GL) is a white rot fungus widely used for its pharmacological properties and health benefits. GL consists of several biological components, including polysaccharides, sterols, and triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are often found in GL in the form of lanostane-type triterpenoids with quadrilateral carbon structures.

Article Synopsis
- Dysregulated immune responses during infections can cause sepsis, leading to multiple organ dysfunction and highlighting the need for new treatment approaches.
- CE9A215 (inotodiol), a compound derived from fungi, has shown potential anti-inflammatory effects by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines in both cell cultures and animal models.
- The study found that CE9A215 improved survival in mice with sepsis while promoting the clearance of harmful lipopolysaccharides by enhancing specific proteins associated with lipid transport, suggesting its potential as a new therapy for sepsis.
New autophagy-modulating lanostane-type triterpenoids from a hallucinogenic poisonous mushroom Gymnopilus orientispectabilis.

Gymnopilus orientispectabilis, also known as "big laughter mushroom," is a hallucinogenic poisonous mushroom that causes excessive laughter upon ingestion. From the fruiting bodies of G. orientispectabilis, eight lanostane-type triterpenoids (1-8), including seven novel compounds: gymnojunols A-G (2-8), were isolated.
