Isolation of New Anti- Helicobacter pylori γ-Pyrone Derivative from Helichrysum sanguineum Based on Antimicrobial Profiling of Fractions
摘要
Helichrysum sanguineum (L.) Kostel., Asteraceae, is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of several diseases, including asthma, tuberculosis, urogenital disorders, jaundice, dermatological inflammation, diarrhea, renal calculi, and fever. Phytochemical investigation of its aerial parts led to the isolation of four compounds, including one new γ-pyrone derivative named kadipyrone, which was identified as 2-(4-hydroxy-6-methylheptan-2-yl)-3-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one. Three known compounds were also isolated, including luteolin, quercetin and p-hydroxy benzoic acid. The structures of these compounds were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic methods, including ESI–MS, HR-ESI-(qTOF)-MS,1H NMR,13C NMR, APT-NMR experiments and two-dimensional NMR techniques (HSQC and HMBC). Furthermore, different fractions obtained from H. sanguineum and kadipyrone were evaluated for their anti-bacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori through a diffusion assay. The results indicated that kadipyrone has a promising activity toward H. pylori, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 32 µg/ml, suggesting its potential role in the treatment of H. pylori infection.
