Abstract
A new alkaloid, named (±)-preisomide (1), together with five known polyketides (2-6), were isolated from an endophytic fungus Preussia isomera in Panax notoginseng by using one strain-many compounds (OSMAC) strategy. Their structures were identified by extensive spectroscopic experiments and comparison with literature data. Structurally, compound 1 possessed a rare naturally occurring tetrahydro-2H-1,2-oxazin ring. Compound 6 displayed significant antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium, methicinllin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis with an MIC value of 25 μg/mL, as well as moderate antifungal activity against Gibberella saubinetii with an MIC value of 50 μg/mL.
