Abstract
Eight new amide alkaloids, named piperpolyactam A (1) and piperpolyamide A-G (2–8), along with thirty known ones (9–38) were isolated from the extract of piper polysyphorum. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (including 1D, 2D-NMR and HRESIMS). Compounds 1–38 were assessed for antifungal activity against Candida albicans CMCC 98001 and Aspergillus niger R330. Compound 36 showed a significant antifungal effect against A. niger R330, with the MIC value of 0.78 μg/mL.
期刊介绍:
Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and to bioactive natural products of plant origin. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:
1. Characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants
2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
