Tinctoride A, a New Hopan-Type Triterpenoic Peracid from the Thallus of Lichen Parmotrema Tinctorum (Despr. ex Nyl.) Hale

A new hopan-type triterpenoic peracid, tinctoride A (1), together with three known compounds, zeorin (2), 6 beta,22-dihydroxyhopane (3), and ergosterol peroxide (4), was isolated from Parmotrema tinctorum (Despr. ex Nyl.) Hale. Their chemical structures were identified by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy and compared with those reported in the literature. The enzyme inhibitory potential of compounds 1-3 against alpha-glucosidase was investigated, exhibiting nil to weak inhibitory activity.
