    Abstract:

    Abstract Two phytotoxins were isolated from the liquid culture of Phoma chenopodiicola , a fungal pathogen proposed for the biological control of Chenopodium album , a common worldwide weed of arable crops. The two phytotoxins appeared to be a new tetrasubstituted Furopyran and a new ent- pimaradiene. From the same culture a new tetrasubstituted isocoumarin was also isolated. These compounds were characterized by using spectroscopic (essentially 1D and 2D NMR and HR ESI MS) and chemical methods as 3-(3-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-7a H -furo[2,3- b ]pyran-4-yl)-but-2-en-1-ol (chenopodolan D, 1 ) (1 S ,2 S ,3 S ,4 S ,5 S ,9 R ,10 S ,12 S ,13 S )-1,3,12-triacetoxy-2,hydroxy-6-oxo- ent -pimara-7(8),15-dien-18-oic acid 2,18-lactone (chenopodolin B, 3 ), and, 4,5,7-trihydroxy-3-methyl-isochroman-1-one (chenisocoumarin, 2 ) The absolute configuration of chenisocoumarin was assigned by applying an advanced Mosher’s method through the derivatization of its secondary hydroxylated carbon C-4, while that of chenopodolan D by application of quantum mechanical calculations of chiroptical (ECD and ORD) properties. When assayed by leaf puncture against non-host weeds, chenopodolan D and chenopodolin B showed phytotoxicity while chenisocoumarin and the 9- O -acetyl derivative of chenopodolan D were inactive. These results confirm that the nature of the side chain at C-4 in chenopodolans, and in particular its hydroxylation, are important features for activity. The activity of chenopodolin B could also be explained by its possible hydrolysis to chenopodolin.

  • chenopodolans a c phytotoxic Furopyrans produced by phoma chenopodiicola a fungal pathogen of chenopodium album

    Abstract:

    Abstract Three tetrasubstituted Furopyrans, named chenopodolans A–C, were isolated together with the well known fungal metabolite (−)-( R )-6-hydroxymellein from the liquid culture of Phoma chenopodiicola , a fungal pathogen proposed for the biological control of Chenopodium album , a common worldwide weed of arable crops. The structures of chenopodolans A–C were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods as 2-(3-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-7a H -furo[2,3- b ]pyran-4-yl)-butane-2,3-diol, 1-(3-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-7a H -furo[2,3- b ]pyran-4-yl)ethanol and 3-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-4-(1-methylpropenyl)-7a H -furo[2,3- b ]pyran, respectively. The absolute configuration R to the hydroxylated secondary carbon (C-11) of the side chain at C-4 of chenopodolan A was determined by applying an advanced Mosher’s method. Assayed by leaf puncture on host and non-host weeds chenopodolans A and B, and the 11- O -acetylchenopodolan A showed a strong phytotoxicity. These results showed that the nature of the side chain attached to C-4 is an important feature for the phytotoxicity. A weak zootoxic activity was only showed by chenopodolan B.
