[Chemical constituents study on the fruiting bodies of Lactarius rufus].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Lactarius rufus.


METHODS
Chemical constituents of Lactarius rufus were isolated by column chromatography.


RESULTS
Six compounds were isolated and identified as stearic acid (1), 3beta-hydroxyerg-osta-5,7,22-triene (2), sotolon (3), lactarorufin A (4), rufuslactone (5) and D-allitol (6), respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Compound 5 is the main sesquiterpenoid of Lactarius rufus and has the potential for the further investigation.
