Abstract
A very high content (at least 0.23%) of ergosterol peroxide was isolated fromNaematoloma fasciculare Karst. Not only ergosterol peroxide but also ergosterol showed very strong anticomplementary activity on the classical pathway, the IC50 values being 5.0 μM and 1.0 μM, respectively. The1H and13C NMR data of ergosterol peroxide were revised and completely assigned by DEPT,1H-1H COSY, HMQC and HMBC correlations.
