Antifungal Activity of Chromones from a Cigar Tobacco-Derived Fungus Penicillium sclerotiorum
摘要
With the aims of screening more antifungal metabolites, in this study, two new chromones (1 and 2), together with six known (3–8) analogs, were isolated from the cigar tobacco-derived endophytic fungi Penicillium sclerotiorum. Their structures were determined by means of HR-ESI-MS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. The antifungal activity was tested for compounds 1–8 against Golovinomyces cichoracearum (the main pathogen of tobacco powdery mildew). The results revealed that compounds 1–8 demonstrated obvious anti-G. cichoracearum activity with inhibition rates within the range of 42.9% ± 4.4 to 65.2% ± 4.2 compared with the negative control. However, these rates are lower than that of the positive control (with an inhibition rate of 91.4% ± 4.9).
