O estudo fitoquímico biomonitorado do extrato em CH 2 Cl 2 das folhas de Piper malacophyllum através da técnica de bioautografia frente a fungos, resultou no isolamento de dois piperolidos bioativos: 4,6-dimetóxi-5-E-fenilbutenolido (1) e 4,6-dimetóxi-5-Z-fenilbutenolido (2). Essas substâncias foram identificadas com base na análise dos espectros de IV, EM e RMN, incluindo técnicas bidimensionais, e comparação com dados descritos na literatura. A configuração E da ligação dupla confere maior atividade para 1 considerando-se que as quantidades mínimas de 1 e 2 necessária para inibir o crescimento dos fungos Cladosporium cladosporioides e C. sphaerospermum foram de 1,0/1,0 µg (1) e de 5,0/10,0 µg (2), respectivamente.Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the CH 2 Cl 2 extract from leaves of Piper malacophyllum using bioautography assay against fungi, led to the isolation of two known bioactive piperolides: 4,6-dimethoxy-5-E-phenylbutenolide (1) and 4,6-dimethoxy-5-Z-phenylbutenolide (2). IR, MS and NMR spectroscopic data were used for the identification of these compounds including comparison with previously reported data. The E configuration is associated to higher activity for compound 1, since the minimum amount required for the growth inhibition of Cladosporium cladosporioides and C. sphaerospermum were 1.0/1.0 µg (1) and 5.0/10.0 µg (2), respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
