Studies on the Substances Contained in Gyrophora Esculanta Lowering Plasma and Liver Cholesterol Levels Part III. On the Chemical Structure of the Compounds Contained in Gyrophora Esculanta

석이버섯(Gyrophora Esculanta)중에 함유되어있는 간장 및 혈장 Cholesterol 의 저하 생리활성물질에 관한 연구 -석이버섯중에 함유되어 있는 Cholesterol의 저하성 물질의 화학구조 관한 연구

This study was conducted to purify and characterize further a potent cholesterol lowering material found in Sogi. The ethanol extract of Sogi was purified with acetone and ethanol, and a white powder was obtained. This material yielded t재 spots on a Silicagel thin layer chromatogram. The major material identified by M.P. measurement, elementary analysis and spectrography was considered to be gyrophoric acid. Beside this, minor components (orsellic and leccanolic acids ) were detected.
