Research reveals a new alkaloid with weak antibacterial activity against certain bacteria, highlighting its potential as a natural antimicrobial compound.
Two compounds, including one new alkaloid, namely, aspergilloid A ( 1 ), together with one known compound ( 2 ), were isolated from the sponge‐derived fungus Aspergillus sp. MF01. The structure of one undescribed compound was elucidated by NMR, HRESIMS, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) diffraction spectroscopy. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. Compound 1 showed weak antibacterial activity against Gram‐positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis at 1 mg/mL.
