Pyrrole Alkaloids from the Edible Mushroom Phlebopus portentosus with Their Bioactive Activities.

Seven pyrrole alkaloids, three of which are novel (phlebopines A⁻C ( 1 ⁻ 3 )), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Phlebopus portentosus . Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. All the isolated compounds were tested for their neuroprotective properties and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibition activities. Compound 7 displayed remarkable neuroprotective effects against hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced neuronal-cell damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
