Pyrofomins A-D, polyoxygenated sesquiterpenoids from Pyrofomes demidoffii.

Pyrofomins A-D, four polyoxygenated sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from the methanolic extract of the fruit bodies of Pyrofomes demidoffii. Their structures are elucidated by IR, HR-FTICR-MS, and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the cedrane carbon skeleton of pyrofomin A (1) is confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The sesquiterpenoids 1-4 show neither cytotoxicity against KB cells nor antimicrobial activity.
