Chain terpenoids isolated from cultures of basidiomycete Phellinus sp.

Two new sesquiterpenoids (phellinuins H and I), together with five known compounds, were isolated from cultures of mushroom Phellinus sp. Their structures were elucidated based on comparison of nuclear magnetic resonance and MS data and those reported in the literature. All of these compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW-480).
