Abstract
Thirty actinomycete isolates were isolated from soil and tested against Candida albicans in vitro. The active isolate was identified by 16s-rRNA gene sequencing method as Streptomyces toxytricini. The antifungal compound was extracted with ethyl acetate followed by diethyl ether. Both HPLC and GC–MS analysis confirmed presence of one pure compound in the diethyl ether extract. The compound is a yellow liquid has a maximum absorbance at 240 nm in methanol. The chemical structure was elucidated by 1D and 2D-NMR and IR analyses. The elucidated molecular formula was C36H54O14. The compound is a polyacetal tricyclononane derivative, composed of a tricyclononane ring attached from the carbon atom number four with an oligo-acetal chain (six acetal groups in chain) and from the carbon atom number seven with a methoxy carbonyl benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid. The purposed name is: 4- {[tricycle(3.2.1.11,3)non-8-yl] methoxy carbonyl benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid} (2,4,5,6,7,8,9 heptaoxa, 3-ethoxy, 5,6,7,9-tetramethyl unidecane).
