Antibacterial α-pyrone derivatives from a mangrove-derived fungus Stemphylium sp 33231 from the South China Sea

Two new (x-pyrone derivatives, infectopyrones A (1) and B (2), were obtained from the Et0Ac extract of the endophytic fungus Stemphylium sp. 33231 isolated from the mangrove Brguiera sexangula var. rhynchopetala collected in the South China Sea. Their structures were elucidated by the detailed analysis of comprehensive spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their antibacterial activities, and they had a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against five terrestrial pathogenic bacteria.
