Abstract

Five new polyphenolic derivatives, sepiumols A-E (1–5), were isolated from the root barks of Periploca sepium. Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. Compounds 1, 3 and 5 were found to exhibit significant antifungal activity, particularly for 3 with the remarkable activity against Gibberella saubinetii and Alternaria longipes with MIC values of 1.56 and 3.13 μg/mL (ketoconazole: 0.78 μg/mL), respectively. In addition, compounds 1, 3 and 5 also displayed significant antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureu with MIC values of 12.50–25 μg/mL (ciprofloxacin: 0.78 μg/mL).
