Abstract

Two new unsaturated fatty acids, 6R,8R-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid (1) and methyl-6R,8R-dihydroxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoate (2), and two known 9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid analogues (3, 4) together with a known sesquiterpenoid (5) were isolated from the mangrove rhizosphere soil-derived fungus Penicillium javanicum HK1-22. An acetonide derivative (1a) from 1 was also prepared. The relative configuration of 1 was determined by analysis of the 1D and 2D NOE spectra of 1a. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned on the basis of biogenetic considerations. The antifungal activity of the high yield compound 5 was evaluated against four strains of crop pathogens and it showed significant antifungal activities against all the tested strains.

Keywords: Antifungal activity; Mangrove rhizosphere soil-derived fungus; Penicillium javanicum; Unsaturated fatty acid.
