Abstract

In the screening for lipid peroxidation inhibitors from edible mushroom, Agrocybe cylindracea, a bioactive compound AG 8 was isolated. The AG 8 was purified from methanol extract of its fruit body by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, and silica gel column chromatography, consecutively. Based on various NMR studies including 1H irradiation and HMBC experiments, the AG 8 was identified as MTA, 5'-deoxy- 5'-methylthioadenosine. This compound inhibited lipid peroxidation with an IC50 value of 3.2 μg/ml. The MTA was isolated for the first time from basidiomycetes.
