Abstract
Bioactivity-driven LC/MS-based phytochemical analysis of the root bark extract of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica led to the isolation of 10 compounds including a new coumarin glycoside derivative, ulmusakidian (1). The structure of the new compound was elucidated using extensive spectroscopic analyses via 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data interpretations, HR-ESIMS, and chemical transformation. The isolated compounds 1-10 were tested for their antifungal activity against human fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans. Compounds 9 and 10 showed antifungal activity against C. neoformans, with the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5-25.0 µg/mL, whereas none of the compounds showed antifungal activity against C. albicans.
