Abstract:

A novel homoisoflavone typicalvone A (1), together with two known compounds, n-heneicosane and p-hydroxy benzoic acid, were isolated from Aspidistra typica Baill. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by sepctral techniques, viz. 1D, 2D NMR spectra and HR-ESI-MS. Compared with berberine hydrochloride, typicalvone A showed moderate anti-bacterial activities, especially against the Gram-negative Paeudomonas aeruginosa ATCC-9027 and Escherichia coli ATCC-25922, with MBC values of 1000 and 500 µg/mL, respectively. In addition, it exhibited weak inhibitory activities against the tumour cells.

Key words: Aspidistra typica Baill., Homoisoflavone compound, Antibacterial activity, Antitumor activity
