Antimicrobial indolequinones from the mid-intestinal gland of the muricid gastropod Drupella fragum
1998
Abstract Three new indolequinones, 6-methoxyindole-4,7-quinone ( 1 ), 5-methoxyindole-4,7-quinone ( 2 ) and 5-methylindole-4,7-quinone ( 3 ) were isolated from the mid-intestinal gland of the muricid gastropod Drupella fragum . The structures of 1 and 2 were established by spectroscopic methods and total synthesis, whereas the structure of 3 was elucidated mainly by NMR spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 ∼ 3 exhibited moderate antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis , and Escherichia coli with MIC = 6.25 ∼ 50 μg/mL.
