Abstract
In this study, two new pyrroloisoquinolines, cigarpyrro A and B (1 and 2), together with five known pyrroloisoquinolines (3–7) were isolated from the cigar-tobacco-derived endophytic fungus Aspergillus puniceus. Their structures were determined by means of HR-ESI-MS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against five pathogenic strains (Staphylococcus aureus (SEA), Escherichia coli (EPEC), Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS), Bacillus subtilis (QST713), and Proteus spp.). Interestingly, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited notable antibacterial activity with a bacteriostatic diameter within the range 15.4 ± 1.8 – 25.2 ± 1.6 mm against the above strains, and most of the bacteriostatic diameters are higher than that of the positive control. In addition, the potential values for compounds 1 and 2 used as antiseptic agents were also evaluated, and they have the potential value for use as antiseptic agents for cigarette-tipping paper.
