Thelephantins D–H: five p-terphenyl derivatives from the inedible mushroom Thelephora aurantiotincta

Five p-terphenyl derivatives named thelephantins D–H ( 1– 5) together with nine known compounds were isolated were isolated from the methanolic extract of fruit bodies of the Thelephoraceous Basidiomycete Thelephora aurantiotincta. Five p-terphenyl derivatives named thelephantins D–H ( 1– 5) together with nine known compounds, thelephantins A–C ( 6– 8), ganbajunin E ( 9), p-hydroxylbenzoic acid ( 10), ganbajunin C ( 11), thelephorin A ( 12), 2- O-methylatromentin ( 13) and atromentin ( 14), were isolated from the methanolic extract of fruit bodies of the Thelephoraceous Basidiomycete Thelephora aurantiotincta. Their structures were elucidated by high-resolution MS, 2D NMR, IR and UV spectroscopic analysis.
