Abstract

The EtOAc and CH$_2$Cl$_2$ soluble fractions from the fruit body of Ganoderma applanatum showed strong aldose reductase inhibitory activity. Nine compounds were isolated from both fractions. They were identified by spectral data as D-mannitol (1), 2-methoxyfatty acid (2), cerebrosides [(2S,3R,4E,8E)-1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl-3-hydroxy-2-[(R)-2'-hydroxypalmitoyl]amino-9-methyl-4,8-octadecadiene] (3), daucosterol (4), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (5), protocatechualdehyde (6), 5-dihydroergosterol (7), ergosterol peroxide (8), and cerevisterol (9).
