which bioactive compounds are present in it?
Kynapcin-12, kynapcin-13 and -28, and -24.
Polyozellus
Further analyses of extracts from "P. multiplex" revealed similar dibenzofuranyl derivatives of polyozellin, each with different chemical properties, including kynapcin-12, kynapcin-13 and -28, and -24. A total synthesis of kynapcin-24 was achieved in 2009.

Polyozellus [SEP] Bioactive compounds
The compound polyozellin—a chemical which can be isolated and purified from "P. multiplex"—inhibits prolyl endopeptidase (PEP), an enzyme that has a role in processing proteins (specifically, amyloid precursor protein) in Alzheimer's disease. Chemicals that inhibit PEP have attracted research interest due to their potential therapeutic effects. Further analyses of extracts from "P. multiplex" revealed similar dibenzofuranyl derivatives of polyozellin, each with different chemical properties, including kynapcin-12, kynapcin-13 and -28, and -24. A total synthesis of kynapcin-24 was achieved in 2009.
