Abstract
The roots of Ferula hermonis Boiss yielded two new daucane esters, 14-(4'-hydroxybenzoyloxy)dauc-4,8-diene (1) and 14-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxybenzoyloxy)dauc-4,8-diene (2), together with the four known sesquiterpenes jaeschkeanadiol p-hydroxybenzoate (3), jaeschkeanadiol benzoate (4), jaeschkeanadiol (5), and epoxyjaeschkeanadiol (6). The identities of the isolated compounds were ascertained primarily using NMR and MS data. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with IC(50) 1.5 and 3.5 microg/mL, respectively, and against Methicillin-resistant S. aureus with IC(50) 2.0 and 4.0 microg/mL, respectively.Entities:
