Four triterpenoids 1—4 isolated from the fruit body of Torametes orientaris were found to inhibit lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages. From the biochemical analysis, compounds 2 and 3 inhibited selectively cholesteryl ester synthesis in macrophages, while compounds 1 and 4 showed inhibition of both cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol syntheses.
