Schematic isolation procedure of 5 compounds by activity-guided fractionation and their chemical structures. (a) Schematic procedure of isolation strategy of 5 compounds from fruit bodies of Cordyceps bassiana. (b and c) Antiproliferative activities of fractions treated for 24 h in A549 cells were tested by a conventional MTT assay. (d) Chemical structures of 5 isolated compounds. All of the data are expressed as the means ± SD of experiments that were performed with six samples. ^∗∗, as compared to the vehicle control.
