Abstract:
A study of the antimicrobial compounds from Moneses uniflora resulted in the isolation of a novel compound, 8-chloro-2,7-dimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (8-chlorochimaphilin) (1), together with chimaphilin (2) and 3-hydroxychimaphilin (3) as the antimicrobial components. 2,7-Dimethyl-1,3-dihydroxynaphthyl 4-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (4) and 2,7-dimethoxy-1,4,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (6) were also isolated and identified.
