Abstract:

Eight known compounds have been isolated from the fruiting bodies of Termitomyces schimperi collected from Amboseli, Kenia. Their structures were established as (22E,24R)-ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol (1), (3β,5α,9α-trihydroxy-ergosta-7,22-dien-6-one (2), 5α,8α-epidioxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (3), ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (4), D-arabinitol (5), D-galactitol (6), cerebroside B (7), and cerebroside D (8) by spectroscopic methods. All compounds are reported from this fungus for the first time.

Key words: Termitomyces schimperi, sterols, cerebroside
