Abstract Three new compounds isolated from Ganoderma tsugae Murr. (Polyporaceae) including : Tsugaric acid A (1) , Tsugaric acid B (5) , 3a-Acetoxy-5a-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-oic acid glucose ester (Tsugaric acid A glucose ester) (6) , and four known compounds including : Ergosta-7,22-dien-3b-ol (2) , 3b-Hydroxy-5 a-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (3) , 3-Oxo-5a-lanosta-8,24- dien-21-oic acid (4) , and 2b,3a,9a-Trihydroxy-5a-ergosta-7,22- diene (7) were investigated. In order to elucidate the structures of 1 and 3 , saponification and acetylation were carried out to obtain 3a-Hydroxy-5a-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (1a) and 3b-Acetoxy-5a-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (3a) , respectively. Lanostane-type triterpenoid derivatives 1 , 1a , 3 , 3a and 5 were screened for cytotoxic activities against PLC/ PRF/5 , HT-3 , SiHa , CaSki, T-24 , and 212 tumor cells in vitro. The results indicated that 1 showed significant cytotoxicity against T-24 cells in vitro, 3 and 3a also showed significant cytotoxicity against HT-3 , and CaSki cells in vitro . The other compounds exhibited marginal effects against several human tumor cell lines.
