摘要

A new unusual sesquiterpene alkaloid (1), as well as four known sesquiterpenes (2–5) were isolated from the fermentation broth of the cigar tobacco-derived Aspergillus ustus. Their structures were determined mainly by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compound 1 was tested for its antibacterial activity against five pathogenic strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, and Proteus spp.). The results revealed that compound 1 showed high antibacterial activity with bacteriostatic diameter within the range 19.2 ± 1.4~24.8 ± 1.6 mm, and most of the bacteriostatic diameters of compound 1 are higher than that of the positive control. This compound has the potential to be used as a natural preservative.
