Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of an aqueous ethyl alcohol (EtOH) extract of the flowers of Nicotiana tabacum L . led to the identification of one new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoid (1) and 14 known compounds, including 7 flavones (2-8), 6 phenolic acids (9-14), and 1 coumarin (15). The chemical structure of 1 was established on the basis of high-resolution electrospray ionization (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D NMR analyses, while the other structures were elucidated by 1D NMR and LC–MS data. The antiphytopathogenic activities of all the isolated compounds were tested to determine their antifungal activity against Valsa mali var. mali, Alternaria porri, and Botrytis cinerea at a concentration of 10 µg/mL. Compound 4 exhibited more potent antifungal effects against Valsa mali var. mali with a % growth inhibition of 47.9 ± 1.2%, while the others only showed insignificant activities.
