Chemical Constituents from Mycelia and Spores of Fungus Cordyceps cicadae

To isolate and identify the chemical constituents from mycelia and spores of the fungus Cordyceps cicadae, respectively. The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by repeated silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and reversed phase HPLC. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR. Nine known sterols such as ergosterol (1), ergosterol peroxide (2),...
