Abstract: This study investigated the phytochemical profiles and bioactivities of two edible boletes from Southwestern China, Phlebopus portentosus and Butyriboletus roseoflavus. A total of 33 secondary metabolites, comprising 15 alkaloids, 4 pulvinic acid derivative pigments, and 14 ergosterols, were isolated and identified. To our best knowledge, boletesine A (1), boletesine B (2), and cis-xerocomic acid (16) were previously undescribed compounds. The new structures were established by extensive spectroscopic methods and chemical calculations. Compound 1 features a hitherto unknown hybrid skeleton formed between a 2-formylpyrrole-alkaloid and a dopacetic acid (DOPAC) via a Michael addition reaction. Bioactivity assays revealed the neuroprotective effects of compounds 18 and 19 against Aβ25–35- or H2O2-induced toxicity. In a cytotoxic assay against a small panel of cancer cell lines, compound 9 exhibited significant activity against HeLa cells (IC50 = 10.76 µM), while 33 demonstrated broad-spectrum cytotoxicity against Hela229, SGC7901, PC-3, and BEL7402 cells (IC50s in the range of 20~30 µM). Of particular note is the anti-influenza virus activities against A/H3N2 and B/Victoria strains of compounds 22 and 26 (EC50 values ranging from 3.6 to 9.6 µM). Along with these, compound 29 showed a moderate antiviral effect against coxsackievirus B3. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of the two edible boletes in addressing neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and viral infections, paving the way for their prospective applications in the development of functional foods and pharmaceuticals.
