Abstract:
Phytochemical investigation of the endophytic fungus Coniothyrium sp. resulted in the isolation of a new phenoxyphenyl ether, named coniothyren (1), and two known compounds, coniol (2) and (+)-epoxydon (3). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis, namely, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and HR-EI-MS. Preliminary studies demonstrated that (+)-epoxydon (3) displayed good antibacterial and antialgal activities toward Bacillus megaterium and Chlorella fusca, respectively.
