Notes:
Five yellow 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoquinones with C15 and C17 alkyl side chains were isolated from fruitbodies of the wood-rotting fungus Phlebia chryoscrea. The compounds, named phlebiachrysoic acids A-E are strong inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and are responsible for the red colour reaction when the fruitbodies are touched with aqueous alkali.
