Abstract: The antioxidant activities of four extracts (alkali extracts,ethyl acetate extract,60% ethanol extract and crude polysaccharide) from Cryptoporus volvatus(Peck) Hubbard were evaluated by methods of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical,2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate)(ABTS),Salicylic acid,and Fenton reaction.The results indicated that ethyl acetate extract showed the strongest free radical scavenging ability with IC50=(67.43±1.41) mg/L by the ABTS method.Further study by bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract led to the isolation and identification of nine cryptoporic compounds including cryptoporic acid A trimethyl ester (1),cryptoporic acid A (2),cryptoporic acid D tetra-methyl ester (3),cryptoporic acid D (4),cryptoporic acid C (5),cryptoporic acid C pentamethyl ester (6),cryptoporic acid E pentamethyl ester (7),cryptoporic acid B trimethyl ester (8) and crytoporic acid B (9).Among them,compounds 1,3,6,8 were isolated for the first time from this fungus.The results of the ABTS scavenging ability showed that compound 8(cryptoporic acid B trimethyl ester) has a higher antioxidant activity with IC50=(5.29±0.25) mg/L than the positive control VC with IC50=(5.76±0.58) mg/L.In addition,the structure-relationship of sesquiterpenes as antioxidant agents was analyzed.
