Leccinine A (1) along with a known compound (2), were isolated from the edible mushroom Leccinum extremiorientale. The structure of 1 was determined by the interpretation of spectral data. Leccinine A showed protective activity against endoplasmic reticulum stress- dependent cell death. Seven analogues (3–9) of 1 were synthesized in order to evaluate the structure–activity relationship, and the result indicated that the formamide group of 1 was ...
