摘要

Nine compounds from the fermentation of Diaporthe melonis, an endophytic fungus in the inflorescence of Acalypha indica L. (Euphorbiaceae), were isolated and identified. They are 1,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (1), 8-methoxynaphthalen-1-ol (2), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3), 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)butanone (4), methyl (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetate (5), 3-nitropropanoic acid (6), phomonitroester (7), felinone A (8) and (4R,6R)-4-hydroxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (9). The EtOAc crude extract resulted in strong cytotoxicity, radicle elongation inhibition and a strong potential to inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme. This is the first report of the strong α-glucosidase and strong phytotoxicity of compound 4.
