Two New Chromone Derivatives from the Fungus Aspergillus versicolor Isolated from Cigar Tobacco
摘要
Two new chromones, 8-(hydroxymethyl)-6-isopropyl-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (1) and 8-(hydroxymethyl)-6-isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (2), along with five known ones (3–7) were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus versicolor, which derived from cigar tobacco. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas syringae (the main pathogenic sources of tobacco angular spot disease). The results revealed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited inhibitory activity with MIC50 values of 5.2 and 4.6 μg/mL, respectively. These rates are lower than that of the positive control (agricultural streptomycin, with MIC50 of 2.2 μg/mL).
