α-Pyrone polyphenols, phelligridins C and D (meshimakobnols B and A), and phellifuropyranone A, isolated from a Japanese mushroom, are growth inhibitors of cancer cells. Herein, we report full details of the total synthesis of phelligridins C and D. The key reactions of the synthetic pathways were Pd catalyzed cross-coupling and aldol-type condensation. This strategy also enabled the total synthesis of phellifuropyranone A and artificial analogs of phelligridins. Subsequent biological evaluation of these compounds clarified that the whole skeleton of phelligridin C and the catechol group of the left hand side are essential for the cytotoxicity.

Many species of fungi naturally produce light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence, however, the fungal substrates used in the chemical reactions that produce light have not been reported. We identified the fungal compound luciferin 3-hydroxyhispidin, which is biosynthesized by oxidation of the precursor hispidin, a known fungal and plant secondary metabolite. The fungal luciferin does not share structural similarity with the other eight known luciferins. Furthermore, it was shown that 3-hydroxyhispidin leads to bioluminescence in extracts from four diverse genera of luminous fungi, thus suggesting a common biochemical mechanism for fungal bioluminescence.

In the course of screening for anti-dementia agents from natural products, a β-secretase (BACE1) inhibitor was isolated from the culture broth of Phellinus linteus and identified as hispidin. It showed an IC50 value of 4.9 × 10-6 M and a Ki value of 8.4 × 10 -6 M. The compound was a non-competitive inhibitor. Hispidin also inhibited a prolyl endopeptidase (IC50 = 1.6 × 10-5 M, Ki = 2.4 × 10-5 M), but it was less inhibitory to α-secretase (TACE) and other serine proteases such as chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase.
