Abstract
Three known sesquiterpenoids of the lactarane and secolactarane type, deoxylactarorufin A (1), blennin A (2) and blennin C (3), have been obtained from cultures of Lentinellus cochleatus (Basidiomycetes) together with the new metabolites (Z)-2-chloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-ol (4) and lentinellone (5), a protoilludane derivative. The structures were determined by spectroscopic investigations. 1, 2 and 3 are potent inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL).
