Abstract
Abstract Two novel compounds, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylfuran-2(5 H )-one ( 1 ) and (3 R ,4 S ,1′ R )-3-(1′-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyldihydrofuran-2(3 H )-one ( 2 ), were isolated along with two known ones ( 3 and 4 ) from an edible mushroom Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii . The structures of 1 – 4 were determined by the interpretation of spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 – 4 showed protective activity against endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-dependent cell death.
