A new ergosterol derivative, 23R-hydroxy-(20Z,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),20(22)-tetraen-3-one (1), and a biosynthetically related known compound, (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (2), were isolated from the co-culture between endophytic fungus Pleosporales sp. F46 and endophytic bacterium Bacillus wiedmannii Com1 both inhibiting in the medicinal plant Mahonia fortunei. The structure of the new compound 1 was determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis using HRMS and NMR, together with the modified Mosher's ester method. This is the first example of isolation of a ergosterol derivative with a Δ-double bond in the side chain. Compound 1 exhibited moderate antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and no obvious cytotoxic activities against the cancer cell lines A549, MDA-MB-231 and Hct116. Our results not only reveal that compound 1 is a potent antibacterial lead compound, but also highlight the powder of co-cultivation for inducing the production of cryptic natural products from endophytes derived from the same host plant.

Postharvest pathogens can affect a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, including grapes, resulting in significant profit loss. Isoquinoline alkaloids of Mahonia fortunei, a Chinese herbal medicine, have been used to treat infectious microbes, which might be effective against postharvest pathogens. The phytochemical and bioactive investigation of this plant led to the isolation of 18 alkaloids, of which 9 compounds inhibited the growth of Botrytis cinerea and 4 compounds against Penicillium italicum.

Mahonia bealei and Mahonia fortunei are important plant resources in Traditional Chinese Medicine that are valued for their high levels of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs). Although the phytotoxic activity of BIAs has been recognized, information is limited on the mechanism of action by which these compounds regulate photosynthetic activity. Here, we performed comparative chloroplast genome analysis to examine insertions and deletions in the two species.

Background: Elucidating the phylogenetic relationships within species-rich genera is essential but challenging, especially when lineages are assumed to have been going through radiation events. Mahonia Nutt. (Berberidaceae) is a genus with cosmopolitan distribution, comprising approximately 100 species, two of which are known as Caulis Mahoniae (M.

The pathogenic bacterium causes soft rot in cabbage and significantly reduces plant yield. In this study, we employed extracts to synthesis silver nanoparticles (Mf-AgNPs) and investigated their functions against . The results showed that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of AgNP was 412 nm under optimal synthesis conditions.

Mahonia fortunei, belonging to the Berberidaceae family, is widely cultivated in fields, parks, courtyards, and roadsides for its excellent ornamental characteristics and medicinal values in southern China (Yu and Chung 2017). In May 2021, leaf spots were observed on nearly 60~80% of M. fortunei plants growing in Chongqing Normal University campus (29°36'42″N; 106°17'59″E) from Chongqing City, China.
