Secondary metabolites produced by the citrus phytopathogen Phyllosticta citricarpa

摘要

The isolation and structure elucidation of one new fungal metabolite, phenguignardic acid butyl ester (1a), and four previously reported metabolites (1b, 2a, 3-4) from the citrus phytopathogen Phyllosticta citricarpa LGMF06 are described. The new dioxolanone phenguignardic acid butyl ester (1a) had low phytotoxic activity in citrus leaves and fruits (at dose of 100 mu g), and its importance as virulence factor in citrus black spot disease needs to be further addressed. Beside the phytotoxic analysis, we also evaluated the antibacterial (against methicillin sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and cytotoxic (A549 non-small cell lung cancer, PC3 prostate cancer and HEL 299 normal epithelial lung) activities of the isolated compounds, which revealed that compounds 1a, 1b and 2a were responsible for the antibacterial activity of this strain.
