Abstract: As shown by quantitative (1)H NMR measurements, a lipophilic extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum atomarium ssp. degenii contained a high percentage (3.1% per weight of dried plant material) of a prenylated phloroglucinol (1). Compound 1, named hyperatomarin, occurring in two tautomeric forms (1a 1b), was isolated by bioactivity-guided preparative TLC and was identified on the basis of spectral data interpretation. This isolated phloroglucinol exhibited activity against Gram-positive (Staphyloccocus aureus and Microccocus luteus) and Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and B. IP 5832).
TL;DR: The essential oil of Hypericum atomarium Boiss was analysed for the first time and a high content of sesquiterpenes characterized the oil.
Abstract: The essential oil of Hypericum atomarium Boiss. was analysed for the first time. Seven components were identified, accounting for 83.6% of the total oil. The three most abundant components (isocaryophyllene, y-cadinene and 2.4 diisopropenyl-i-methyl-i-vinyl-cyclohexane) represented 64.5% of the oil. A high content of sesquiterpenes (79.6%) characterized the oil.
