Popis: Seven new naturally occurring 3-butylisocoumarins were isolated and identified from lipophilic extracts of aerial as well as underground organs: corfin (17) and 3'-hydroxycorfin (18) from the roots of Chamaemelum mixtum and (-)-(R)-2'-methoxydihydroartemidin (5), (+)-(S,R)-epoxyartemidin (6a), dracumerin (12), (+)-(R)-(E)-3'-hydroxyartemidin (13), and capillarin isovalerate (20) from various organs of Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon). Furthermore, six known derivatives, artemidiol (7), (E/Z)-artemidin (11), capillarin (19), artemidinol (21), 8-hydroxyartemidin (22), and 8-hydroxycapillarin (23), were obtained. The antifungal activities of all naturally occurring derivatives were determined in a germ-tube inhibition test against a susceptible strain of rice blast fungus Pyricularia grisea. The 3-butyl side-chain is a prerequisite for high activity. Eleven structurally related synthetic derivatives were additionally tested to explore the influence of structural characteristics on activity. Benlate, blasticidin S, kresoxim-methyl, griseofulvin, and the carrot phytoalexin 6-methoxymellein all served as positive controls.
