Chemical Constituents from Mycelia of Lepista sordida (Agaricomycetes) and Their ABTS Radical Scavenging Activity.

Lepista sordida is an edible mushroom possessing high nutritional value and high medicinal value. The artificial cultivation technology of L. sordida made a breakthrough and has been popularized in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan province with good economic benefits. The secondary metabolites were investigated from ethyl EtOAc (acetate extract) of solid cultures of L. sordida. Silica gel column chromatography, semi-preparation HPLC, recrystallization, and medium pressure column chromatography were applied to obtain 15 compounds. Nine compounds were first isolated from genus Lepista and 11 compounds were first isolated from species L. sordida. Moreover, compounds 13 and 14 exhibited strong scavenging activity of ABTS.
