Popis: Bioassay-guided fractionation of a root extract of Sorocea muriculata led to the isolation and identification of two new oxygen heterocyclic Diels-Alder-type adducts, sorocenols G (1) and H (2), along with lupeol-3-(3' R-hydroxytetradecanoate) and oxyresveratrol. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and HRMS data and by comparison with reported values. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were established by analysis of their experimental and theoretically calculated CD spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant and selective activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with IC50 values of 1.5 and 0.5 microM, respectively. Compound 2 also displayed antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, with IC 50 values of 5.4, 5.4, and 10.0 microM, respectively.
