ABSTRACT
A new isobenzofuranone derivative was isolated from Chaenomeles sinensis by using various chromatographic techniques,including silica gel,Sephadex LH-20,MCI-gel resin and RP-HPLC. This compound was determined as 2,2-dimethyl-5-( 2-oxopropyl)-2 H-furo[3,4-h]chromen-7( 9 H)-one( 1) by NMR,MS,IR and UV spectra,and was also evaluated for its antibacterial activity. The results showed that it showed prominent antibacterial activity with MIC90 value of( 53. 7±4. 5) mg·L-1 for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus( MRSA) strain. This value is close to that of levofloxacin [with MIC90 value( 50. 2± 4. 2) mg·L-1].

Objective This study focused on the secondary metabolites of endophytic fungus Alternaria alternate in Paeonia lactiflora. Methods Compounds were isolated from the EtOAc extract by chromatography technology and their structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis. Results A total of 15 compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as methyl 4-acetamido-3-hydroxybenzoate (1), (E)-methyl5-hydroxy-3-methylpent-2-eno (2), isobenzofuranone A (3), 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4), 6-hydroxy-isosclerone (5), talarojlavone (6), 7-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-5-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (7), alternarienonic acid (8), 7-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (9), 5-hydroxy-epialtenuene (10), alternariol (11), methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate (12), stemphyperylenol (13), altenusin (14), and altenuene (15). Conclusion Compounds 1, 3, 5-10, 12, and 13 are isolated from Alternaria alternatefor the first time.
ABSTRACT
A new isobenzofuranone derivative has been isolated from Phlomis betonicoides by using various chromatographic techniques, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, MCI-gel resin and RP-HPLC. This compound was determined as 5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2-furo[3,4-]chromen-7(9)-one (1) by NMR, MS, IR and UV spectroscopic data. Compound 1 showed potent antibacterial activity with an MIC₉₀ value of (58.4 ± 4.2) mg·L⁻¹ for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain [levofloxacin as a control with MIC₉₀ value of (52.8±4.6) mg·L⁻¹].
