Abstract:
Three new C-methylated acetogenins, (2E,6Z)-9,10-dihydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6-decadiene (1), (2E,6Z)-8,9,10-trihydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6-decadiene (2), and (2E,6Z)-9-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6-nonadiene (3), together with two known compounds, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4) and indolyl-3-carboxylic acid (5), were isolated from endophytic fungus S20 of Cephalotaxus hainanensis Li. Their structures were determined based on HR-ESI-MS and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV, 1D, and 2D NMR). Compound 5 showed inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus by the filter paper disc agar diffusion method.

Overview of Metabolism
Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...
