Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress-Suppressive Compounds from Scrap Cultivation Beds of the Mushroom Hericium erinaceum

Four compounds were isolated from scrap cultivation beds of the mushroom, Hericium erinaceum. Compounds 1–4 were identified as methyl 4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbutanoyl) benzoate, 2-chloro-1,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene, methyl 4-chloro-3,5-dimethoxybenzoate, and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde by an interpretation of the NMR and MS data, respectively. This is the first reported isolation of 1 from a natural source. All the compounds showed protective activity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-dependent cell death.publishe
