Antibacterial metabolites from Penicillium sp. I09F 484 / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the antibacterial agents from the culture broth of Penicillium sp. I09F 484. METHODS: The compounds were purified by a combination of chromatographic methods, and their structures were identified by IR, MS, CD, 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data analysis. The antimicrobial activities of the isolates were evaluated by the micro-broth dilution method and the antiviral activities were also assessed. RESULTS: Eight compounds were identified from the cultures of strain I09F 484. Their structures were elucidated as patulin(1), gentisyl alcohol(2), 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol(3), 2-methylhydroquinone(4), (45, 55)-4, 5-dihydroxy-2-methylcyclohex-2-enone(5), epiepoformin(6), thymidine(7), cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr) (8). Compound 1 displayed moderate antibacterial activities with MICs ranging 64-128 μg · mL-1 against a number of pathogenic strains, while 4 was active against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Compound 2 displayed antiviral activity against influenza A strains A/FM/1/47 (H1N1) nd A/Hanfang/359/95( H3N2) viruses, with IC50 values of 5.0 and 5.9 μmol · L-1 Respectively. Compound 4 inhibited Coxsackie virus B3 replication, with an IC50 value of 149.4 μmol · L-1. CONCLUSION: Compounds 1-5 are obtained from the strain for the first time. The antibacterial activity of the crude extracts is mainly due to the presence of the known patulin (1). Compounds 2 and 4 show moderate influenza and Coxsackie virus B3 inhibitory activity and the antiviral activities are first assessed.
