ABSTRACT
This paper aimed to study the chemical constituents from Clitocybe clavipes. Silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-p reparative HPLC were employed to separate the ethanol extract of C. clavipes. Six compounds were identified by ~1H-NMR, ~(13)CNMR,and ESI-MS as clavilactone L(1), clavilactone A(2), clavilactone B(3), clavilactone E(4), clavilactone H(5), and clav ilactone I(6). Among them, compound 1 was a new meroterpenoid with a 10-membered carbocycle connected to a hydroquinone. Theantitumor activities of compounds 1-6 were determined by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) ass ay. The results showed that compounds 1-6 exerted inhibitory effects on the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells(MGC-803),human non-small cell lung cancer cells(A549), and cervical cancer cells(HeLa). Compound 1 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against MGC-803 cells, with the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC_(50)) of 11. 76 µmol·L~(-1).
