A new ganoderic acid (GA), 3α,22β-diacetoxy-7α-hydroxyl-5α-lanost-8,24E-dien-26-oic acid (1), together with four known compounds GA-Mk (2), -Mc (3), -S (4) and -Mf (5), was isolated and characterized from Ganoderma lucidum mycelia. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated on the basis of interpretation of extensive spectroscopic data (HRMS, IR, UV, 1D and 2D NMR). Due to its apparent degradation during preparation procedures, the stability of compound 1 was assessed in several solvents in a short-term study that demonstrated the optimal stability in aproptic environment. A possible mechanism of acid-catalyzed degradation of compound 1 in methanol was proposed, consisting of a fast protonation, followed by a committed step of hydroxyl group removal. In addition, all isolated compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activities against 95D and HeLa tumor cell lines, with IC₅₀ values ranging from14.7 to 38.5μM. The results may improve the understanding of chemical stability of GAs and provide valuable information on their separation, analysis and application.
