Main Results:

  • Four new acetylenic glucosides, designated 1-4, were successfully isolated from Microglossa pyrifolia.
  • The aglucones 2a and 4a were identified as novel polyynes.
  • Aglycone 3a was obtained as a mixture of E/Z-isomers (4:1 ratio).
  • Compound 1 exhibited notable antibacterial activity.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully identified novel acetylenic glucosides and polyynes from Microglossa pyrifolia.
  • The structural characterization was achieved through comprehensive spectroscopic and biochemical analyses.
  • Compound 1 represents a promising lead for the development of new antibacterial agents.
