Deskripsi

Five new meroterpenoids, clavipols A&#8722;B (<b>1</b>&#8722;<b>2</b>) with a 12-membered ether ring and clavilactones G&#8722;I (<b>3</b>&#8722;<b>5</b>) having a 10-membered carbocycle connected to a hydroquinone and an &#945;,&#946;-epoxy/unsaturated lactone, were obtained from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete <i>Clitocybe clavipes</i>. Their structures were determined by comprehensive analysis of their spectroscopic data, and the absolute configuration of <b>1</b> was established by quantum chemical calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD). All the isolated compounds (<b>1</b>&#8722;<b>5</b>) were tested for their cytotoxic activity against three human tumor cell lines (Hela, SGC-7901, and SHG-44) in vitro after treatment for 48 h. Compound <b>4</b> exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against Hela and SGC-7901 tumor cell lines, with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 23.5 and 14.5 &#181;M, respectively.
