Abstract

Phytopathogenic fungi have attracted great attention as a promising source for new drug discovery. In the progress of our ongoing study for bioactive natural products from an in-house phytopathogenic fungi library, a pathogenic fungus, Fusarium proliferatum strain 13294 (FP13294), was selected for chemical investigation. Two novel aliphatic unsaturated alcohols named fusariumnols A and B (1 and 2), together with one previously characterized sesquiterpenoid lignoren (3) were identified. Structures of 1–3 were assigned by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Their bioactivities were assessed against Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. aureus, and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis (MIC = 100 μM).
