Abstract:
The chemical constituents of the fractions in ethyl acetate phase from ethanol extract of
Hericium erinaceus were studied. The separation and purification of the fractions in ethyl acetate phase were conducted by the method of silica gel column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. The results indicated that five compounds were isolated and identified from ethyl acetate phase. Their chemical structures were identified as:Oleic acid(compound H1),hericenone I(compound H2),n-nonacosane(compound H3),uridine(compound H4)and hericenone J(compound H5). Among the five fractions,hericenone I and hericenone J were initially found and identified as the secondary metabolites of
Hericium erinaceus fruiting body,which were classed as the isobenzofuranone derivatives.
