Abstract

A very high content (at least 0.23%) of ergosterol peroxide was isolated from Naematoloma fasciculare Karst. Not only ergosterol peroxide but also ergosterol showed very strong anticomplementary activity on the classical pathway, the $IC_{50}$ values being $5.0 {\mu}M$ and $1.0 {\mu}M$, respectively. The $ ^{1}H $and $^{13}C$ NMR data of ergosterol peroxide were revised and completely assigned by DEPT, $^{1}H-^{1}H$ COSY, HMQC and HMBC correlations.
