Bioassay-Guided Isolation of Broad-Spectrum Fungicidal Active Compound from <i>Artemisia ordosica</i>

In previous bioactive screening assays, extracts of <i>Artemisia ordosica</i> Krasch. (<i>A. ordosica</i>) had highly antifungal activities, but the responsible phytochemicals were unidentified. In this study, active compounds of <i>A. ordosica</i> extracts were identified using a bioassay-guided method, and antifungal assays were performed in vitro and in vivo. The bioactive compounds were dissolved in petroleum ether, and the best antifungal fraction contained four compounds: trans-dehydromatricaria ester (TDDE), 7, 4-demetylnringenin, capillarin, and stearic acid.

The living tissue bioassay results showed that the relative protection effects (RPE) of TDDE on tomato leaves, tomato fruit, and strawberry leaves infected with <i>B. cinerea</i> reached 76.78%, 86.2%, and 80.89%, respectively. In pot experiments, the RPE on tomato and strawberry plants infected with <i>B. cinerea</i> reached 84.11% and 96.37%, respectively. Morphological and physiological examination showed that TDDE had significant inhibitory effects on mycelial growth, including increased top offshoot, contorted hyphal tips, and extravasated cytochylema. Meanwhile, bactericidal activities of TDDE were significantly higher than kanamycin and streptomycin in five bacteria, and the plant tissue experiments further demonstrated that it had an 88.31% RPE on walnut leaves infected with <i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>jugiandis</i>, 72.18% RPE on potato infected with <i>Erwinia carotovora</i> subsp. <i>carotovora</i>, and 82.50% RPE on kiwifruit branches infected with <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>actinidiae</i>.

To avoid the widespread resistance of commercial fungicides, new broad-spectrum botanical fungicides need to be developed. In previous bioactive screening assays, extracts of <i>Artemisia ordosica</i> Krasch. (<i>A. ordosica</i>) had highly antifungal activities, but the responsible phytochemicals were unidentified. In this study, active compounds of <i>A. ordosica</i> extracts were identified using a bioassay-guided method, and antifungal assays were performed in vitro and in vivo. The bioactive compounds were dissolved in petroleum ether, and the best antifungal fraction contained four compounds: trans-dehydromatricaria ester (TDDE), 7, 4-demetylnringenin, capillarin, and stearic acid.
