Four illudane sesquiterpenes from Coprinopsis episcopalis

Phytochemistry. 2004 Feb;65(4):381-5. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2003.10.023.

Abstract

Four new illudane derivatives with antibiotic and cytotoxic properties, illudins I (1), I(2) (2), J (3) and J(2) (4), have been isolated from the fungus Coprinopsis episcopalis (syn. Coprinus episcopalis). These sesquiterpenes are stereoisomers, and their relative structures have been determined taking into consideration 2D NMR data.
