Bioactivity Biphenyls from Sun-Cured Tobacco-Derived Endophytic Fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
摘要
Two new biphenyls, 3,4′ ,5-trimethoxy-3′-(4-methylfuran-2-yl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ol (1) and 3′-(4-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)-3,4′,5-trimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ol (2), along with five known ones (3–7) were isolated from the fermentation products of a sun-cured tobacco-derived endophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Golovinomyces cichoracearum (the main pathogenic sources of tobacco powdery mildew disease). Compounds 1 and 2 showed potential anti-G. cichoracearum activity with inhibition rates of 76.8% ± 4.8, and 85.6% ± 4.6, respectively, compared with the negative control. These rates are close to that of the positive control (with an inhibition rate of 88.4% ± 5.5).
