2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol from Endophytic Fungi Fusarium oxysporum attenuates the growth of multidrug-resistant pathogens by Ranjitha Dhevi V. Sundar, Sathiavelu Arunachalam

“…These fungi were spectrally analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the structures were predicted. The pure compounds were tested for antagonistic susceptibility to multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens using disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), time-kill kinetics, and cytotoxicity assays.Results and discussionBioactivity-guided extraction of ethyl acetate fungal extract purification yielded a lead compound, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (DTB), which was interpreted by combining 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry (MS) data. …”
