Abstract

In orther to isolate antibacterial substances from the flower of Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitam., the chloroform fraction was fractionated according to the activity against B. subtilis, S. aureus and V. parahaemolyticus. Two antibacterial substances were isolated and purified by preparative TLC and recrystallization. Compound I showed activity against all the tested bacteria and compound II exhibited the activity against B. subtilis and v. parahaemolyticus except S. aureus. Compared to benzoic acid and sorbic acid which are being used as food preservatives, compounds I and II showed about five-fold stronger antibacterial activity against B. subtilis and V. parahaemolyticus. On the basis of spectrometric studies including $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR,\;DEPT,\;^1H-^1H\;COSY,\;^{13}C-^1H\;COSY$ and Mass, compounds I and II were identified as angeloylcumambrin B and cumambrin A, respectively. This is the first report of the isolation of angeloylcumambrin B and cumambrin A from this plant.

Chrysanthemum속(屬) 식물의 성분 및 생리활성물질에 대한 연구의 일환으로, 구절초 꽃의 chloroform 분획물을 재료로 B. subtilis, 및 V. aureus 및 v. parahaemolyticus에 대한 activity-guieded fractionation을 실시하여 항균성 물질 두가지를 얻었다. 항균력실험 결과,화합물I은 $100\;{\mu}g/disk$의 농도에서 세가지균주 모두에 활성이 있었고 화합물 II는 B. subtilis와 V. parahaemolyticus에만 활성이 나타났다. 화합물 I과 화합물 II는 현재 식품보존료로 사용되는 benzoic acid 및 sorbic acid와 비교해볼 때, B. subtilis와 v. perahaemolyticus에 대하여 대략 5배정도 강한 항균력을 나타내었다. $^1H,\;^{13}C\;NMR,\;DEPT,\;^1H-^1H\;COSY,^{13}C-^1H\;COSY$ 및 Mass spectrum 등을 분석한 결과, 화합물 I과 II는 sesquiterpene lactone인 angeloylcumambrin B($C_{20}H_{25}O_5,$ MW=346)와 cumambrin A($C_{17}H_{25}O_5,\;W=346$)로 각각 동정되었으며 이들은 구절초에서는 처음 분리되었다.
