Chemical Constituents of the Mushroom Dictyophora indusiata and Their Anti-Inflammatory Activities.

ABSTRACT: As an edible and medicinal fungus, Dictyophora indusiata is well-known for its morphological elegance, distinctive taste, high nutritional value, and therapeutic properties. In this study, eighteen compounds (1-18) were isolated and identified from the ethanolic extract of D. indusiata; four (1-4) were previously undescribed. Their molecular structures and absolute configurations were determined via a comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data (1D/2D NMR, HRESIMS, ECD, and XRD). Seven isolated compounds were examined for their anti-inflammatory activities using an in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-simulated BV-2 microglial cells. Compound 3 displayed the strongest inhibitory effect on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression, with an IC₅₀ value of 11.9 μM. Compound 16 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity on interleukin-6 (IL-6) production, with an IC₅₀ value of 13.53 μM. Compound 17 showed the most potent anti-inflammatory capacity by inhibiting the LPS-induced generation of nitric oxide (NO) (IC₅₀: 10.86 μM) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (IC₅₀: 23.9 μM) and by significantly suppressing induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B inhibitor-α (p-IκB-α) expression at concentrations of 5 μM and 20 μM, respectively (p < 0.01). The modes of interactions between the isolated compounds and the target inflammation-related proteins were investigated in a preliminary molecular docking study. These results provided insight into the chemodiversity and potential anti-inflammatory activities of metabolites with small molecular weights in the mushroom D. indusiata.
