In the quest for bioactive compounds from , artificially cultivated fruiting bodies of cf. , strain TBRC-BCC 47851 were chemically investigated. The study led to the isolation of three undescribed lanostane triterpenoids () together with twelve known compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometry data. The new compounds were inactive in the antimalarial and antitubercular activity assays.

One of the most investigated molecular targets for anticancer therapy is the proto-oncogene , which is amplified and thus overexpressed in many types of cancer. Due to its structural characteristics, developing inhibitors for the target has proven to be challenging. In this study, the anti-MYC potential of lanostane-type triterpenes was investigated for the first time, using computational approaches that involved ensemble docking, prediction of structural properties and pharmacokinetic parameters, molecular dynamics (MD), and binding energy calculation using the molecular mechanics-generalized born surface area (MM-GBSA) method.

Five new non-holostane di- and trisulfated triterpene pentaosides, conicospermiumosides A-1 (), A-2 (), A-3 (), A-1 (), and A-2 () were isolated from the Far Eastern sea cucumber Levin et Stepanov (Cucumariidae, Dendrochirotida). Twelve known glycosides found earlier in other species were also obtained and identified. The structures of new compounds were established on the basis of extensive analysis of the 1D and 2D NMR spectra, as well as by the HR-ESI-MS data.

Article Synopsis
  • Eight new lanostane triterpenoids were discovered in Ganoderma cf. hochiminhense, including ganoboninketals G-K and other compounds.
  • The structures of these compounds were determined using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques.
  • Ganoboninketals G, H, and J showed significant antimalarial activity against a drug-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum, with IC values of 17, 16, and 5.1 μM, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers identified three important enzymes (AcCYP4, AcSDR6, AcSMT1) that play a role in the biosynthesis of lanostane-type triterpenoids in Antrodia camphorata.
  • The catalytic mechanisms of AcSDR6 were analyzed using crystal structure analysis to understand how it works.
  • These enzymes can potentially be used to synthesize at least 11 major types of Antrodia lanostanoids.
