Curvularin and Dehydrocurvularin as Phytotoxic Constituents from Curvularia intermedia Infecting Pandanus amaryllifolius
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microbes are good sources of biologically active compounds that can be used as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As part of our continuous efforts in search for biopesticides from natural sources, a fungus is isolated from leaves of Pandanus amaryllifolius that shows severe necrosis. This fungus is cultured in potato dextrose agar and identified as Curvularia intermedia. The ethyl acetate extract of the liquid culture medium is phytotoxic. Identification and bioassay of αβ-dehydrocurvularin (1) and curvularin (2) from this fungus are described. Monoacetyldehydrocurvularin (3), and diacetyldehydrocurvularin (4) are synthesized from 1. Phytoxicity rankings in a variety of bioassays are 1 > 2 > 4 > 3.

The genus Alternaria Nees ex Fr. (Dematiaceae) contains a number of species pathogenic to econom ically important crop plants [1]. Perhaps not unre lated to this is the fact that the Alternaria are a rich source of biologically active secondary metabolites [2], several of which are phytotoxic [3]. In fact, with the possible exception of the genus H elm inthosporium Link ex Fries, more phytoto...
متن کاملEffect of leaf extract of Pandanus amaryllifolius (Roxb.) on growth of Escherichia coli and Micrococcus (Staphylococcus) aureus
Pandanus amaryllifolius leaves are used in food preparation in Asian countries as flavoring agent. It was primarily used for giving a particular fragrance to rice preparation. Later on it was used in bread preparation to give a typical nutty flavor. The aroma compound is 2-acetyl1-pyrroline derived from amino acid phenylalanine. In this investigation an attempt has been made to find out effect ...

The first total synthesis of pandamarilactone-1, an alkaloid of Pandanus amaryllifolius, is reported. The nine-step synthesis features furan oxidation with singlet oxygen and then spiro-N,O-acetalization and elimination to generate the natural product and further Pandanus alkaloids, pandamarilactonines A-D.

Response surface methodology was applied to optimization of the conditions for reflux extraction of Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) in order to achieve a high content of total flavonoids (TF), total phenolics (TP), and high antioxidant capacity (AC) in the extracts. Central composite experimental design with three factors and three levels was employed to consider the effects of the opera...
