Pat. collected at Pu Mat national park, Nghe An province. Their structures were characterized by 1D, 2D NMR and GC-MS spectroscopies. Especially, the structure of compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. This is the first report on the chemical constituents of Vietnamese Phellinus gilvus. Keywords: Phellinus gilvus, metabolites, antimicrobial, cytotoxicity. 1. INTRODUCTION It is estimated that there are totally million mushrooms species globally, about 22000 species are found in Vietnam. They play a very important role not only for ecosystem but also for our human life. From ancient time, many mushrooms have been used in traditional medicines to treat various diseaes [1]. The mushroom Phellinus gilvus (Schwein.) Pat. widely grows in Asia, North America and Africa. Its major chemical constituents are anticancer polysaccharides [2, 3], together with other secondary metabolies such as antioxidant phenollic compounds .
