摘要
In a project to isolate and characterise anti-staphylococcal compounds from members of the genus Hypericum, a dibenzofuran and a pyranone were isolated from the dichloromethane and hexane extracts of Hypericum revolutum ssp. revolutum Vahl (Guttiferae) and Hypericum choisianum Wall. ex. N. Robson (Guttiferae), respectively. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by 1- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry as 3-hydroxy-1,4,7-trimethoxydibenzofuran (1) and 4-(3-0-3 '')-3 ''-methylbutenyl-6-phenyl-pyran-2-one (2). The metabolites were evaluated against a panel of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Compound I exhibited a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 256 mu g/ml, whereas compound 2 was inactive at a concentration of 512 mu g/ml. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
