Abstract:
To investigate the chemical constituents of the endophytic fungus
Penicillium sp. FJ-1 of
Ceriops tagal, the chemical constituents were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Their antibacterial activity was tested by paper disco diffusion method. Two compounds were isolated and identified as 7-hydroxy-deoxytalaroflavone (
1), and deoxytalaroflavone (
2). Compound
1 is a new compound, and compounds
1 and
2 showed weak activity against
Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus.
