[The chemistry of immunosuppressive acting fractions of Meripilus giganteus (PERS ex. FR.) KARST., the giant spore]. / Untersuchungen zur Chemie immunsuppressiv wirksamer Fraktionen aus Meripilus giganteus (PERS. ex. FR.) KARST., dem Riesenporling.

In the methanolic extract of Meripilus giganteus a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (among them palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid) and ergosterol peroxide were identified as immunosuppressive components. Furthermore a homologous series of straight-chained saturated hydrocarbons with 22 to 26 and 29 to 32 C-atoms could be found.
