Antifungal Methylphenone Derivatives and 5-Methylcoumarins from Mutisia friesiana

Abstract

In addition to the known mutisicoumarin A, the aerial parts of the shrub Mutisia friesiana afforded five new methylphenones, two new 5-methylcoumarins and a new related chromone. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods 13C NMR data for mutisicoumarin A are reported for the first time. Mutisiphenones A and B and mutisicoumarin A showed antifungal activity against the phytopathogenic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum.
