Antibacterial Napthalene Derivatives from the Fermentation Products of an Endophytic Fungus Phomopsis fukushii
摘要
Two new naphthalene derivatives, 1-acetyl-5-isopropyl-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (1) and 1-acetyl-5-isopropyl-2,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (2), together with five known analogs (3–7) were isolated from the fermentation products of an endophytic fungus Phomopsis fukushii originating from cigar tobacco. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (anti-MRSA) activity. The results showed that compounds 1 and 2 showed weak inhibition with IZD of 9.4 ± 1.6 and 10.6 ± 1.8 mm, respectively.
