Abstract:
Chemical investigation on the rice culture of
Corynespora cassiicola J9, an endophyte inhabiting in
Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. resulted in isolation of eight compounds, including a new depsidone derivative, corynether C (
1), and seven analogues, corynether B (
2), corynetherlactone A (
3), corynether A (
4), diaryl ether (
5), corynesidone C (
6), corynesidone D (
7), and corynesidone A (
8). Their structures were deduced based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and HR-ESI-MS data. All of the isolated compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activities against
Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel by the leaf spray assay. Unfortunately, none of them showed inhibitory effects.
