ABSTRACT

The red algal genus Portieria is a prolific producer of halogenated monoterpenoids. In this study, we isolated and characterised monoterpenoids from the Okinawan red algae Portieria hornemannii. A new polyhalogenated cyclic monoterpenoid, 2(R)-chloro-1,6(S)-dibromo-3(8)(Z)-ochtoden-4(R)-ol (1), along with three known monoterpenoids, (2R,3(8)E,4S,6R)-6-bromo-2-chloro-1,4-oxido-3(8)-ochtodene (2), 1-bromo-2-chloroochtoda-3(8),5-dien-4-one (3), and 2-chloro-1-hydroxyochtoda-3(8),5-dien-4-one (4) were isolated from the methanol extract of three populations of P. hornemannii. These compounds were characterised using a combination of spectroscopic methods and chemical synthesis, and the absolute stereochemistry of compounds 1 and 2 was determined. In addition, all isolated compounds were screened for their anti-biofouling activity against the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, and 1 exhibited strong activity. Therefore, halogenated monoterpenoids have the potential to be used as natural anti-biofouling drugs.

ABSTRACT

The mite-control activities of materials obtained from Pelargonium graveolens oil against Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus were examined using an impregnated fabric disk bioassay and were compared with those shown by commercial benzyl benzoate and N,N-diethylm- toluamide (DEET). Purification of the biologically active constituents from P. graveolens oil was done by silica gel chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the active components were analyzed by EI/MS, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, (1)H-(13)C COSYNMR, and DEPT-NMR spectra, and were identified as geraniol (C(10)H(18)O, MW 154.25, trans-3,7-dimethyl-2,6- octadien-1-ol) and beta-citronellol (C(10)H(20)O, MW 156.27, 3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol). Based on the LD50 values, the most toxic compound was geraniol (0.26 microg/cm(2)), followed by beta-citronellol (0.28 microg/cm(2)), benzyl benzoate (10.03 microg/ cm(2)), and DEET (37.12 microg/cm(2)) against D. farinae. In the case of D. pteronyssinus, geraniol (0.28 microg/cm(2)) was the most toxic, followed by beta-citronellol (0.29 microg/cm(2)), benzyl benzoate (9.58 microg/cm(2)), and DEET (18.23 microg/cm(2)). These results suggest that D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus may be controlled more effectively by the application of geraniol and beta-citronellol than benzyl benzoate and DEET. Furthermore, geraniol and beta-citronellol isolated from P. graveolens could be useful for managing populations of D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus.
