The structures of 1-3 were determined on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity were studied for some of the isolated compounds. Ganoderone A (2), lucialdehyde B (4), and ergosta-7,22-dien-3beta-ol (7) were found to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus.

The incubation of 2,5-dihydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-benzamide and 4-aminobenzoic acid with laccase under oxygen conditions resulted in the formation of 2-(4′-carboxy-anilino)-N-(2″-hydroxyethyl)-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadien-1-carboxamide as the main product (yield&amp;gt;85%). When 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester was a co-substrate of 4-aminobenzoic acid, 2-(4′-carboxy-anilino)-N-(2″-hydroxyethyl)-3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadien-1-carboxy methyl ester was produced (yield&amp;gt;75%). Both products were N–C coupling dimers consisting of para-quinone and benzoic acid moieties. The formation of quinone structures in the presence of T. villosa laccase may be useful in pharmaceutical synthesis. Because of high product yields and low amount of by-products laccase of T. villosa seems to be a suitable enzyme among laccases acting at pH 5 for the synthesis of heterologous dimers.
