摘要
The polyisoprenylated benzophenones, chamones I and II, were isolated from the trunk latex of Clusia glandiflora (Clusiaceae) growing in southeastern Venezuela. A third benzophenone, nemorosone II, was isolated from the pollinator reward resin of the female flowers of the same plant. Chamone I and nemorosone II are structurally similar, differing only in the degree of prenylation. Bioassays of chamone I and nemorosone II using the honeybee pathogens, Paenibacillus larvae and Paenibacillus alvei, demonstrate that both have potent antibacterial activity, and that their structural differences affect both their bactericidal efficacies and their aqueous mobilities.
