Successive chromatography of EtOAc-soluble extracts of the fruiting body of Sparassis crispa (Wulf.) resulted in isolation of four new aromatic compounds, sparoside A (1) and sparalides A-C (3-5), two new naturally occurring compounds, 2 and 6, and eight known compounds, 7-14. The chemical structures were determined by interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry spectroscopic data. Extract, solvent-soluble fractions of the extract, and all of the pure compounds isolated from the fractions were subjected to the mRNA expression assay for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Among them, sparoside A (1), hanabiratakelide A (8), adenosine (11), and 5α,6α-epoxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-8(14),22-diene-3β,7β-diol (14) exhibited potent inhibitory activities on PCSK9 mRNA expression, with IC50 values of 20.07, 7.18, 18.46, and 8.23 μM, respectively (berberine, positive control, IC50 = 8.04 μM), suggesting that compounds 1, 8, 11, and 14 are suitable for use in supplements to the statins for hyperlipidemia treatments.

The structure of the major dibenzofuran present in the lichen Leproloma diffusum has been shown to be that of 4-oxypannaric acid 2-methyl ester (2-methyl hydrogen 3,4,9-trihydroxy-1,7-dimethyldibenzofuran-2,6-dicarboxylate) (2).The structure of (2) was co
