Key points

  • Two novel 11(9 → 7)-abeo-ergostane-type steroids, named pleurocins A (1) and B (2), a 13,14-seco-13,14-epoxy ergostane, named eringiacetal B (3), and an ergostane steroid (4) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus eryngii (Pleurotaceae)
  • Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallography
  • A possible biogenesis pathway for 1-3 was also described
  • Compounds 1-3 exhibited inhibitory activities against NO production with almost no cytotoxicity at concentrations lower than 30 μM
