Antifungal Activity of Plumbagin Purified from Leaves of Nepenthes ventricosa × maxima against Phytopathogenic Fungi

A kind of naphthoquinone, plumbagin was purified and identified from the leaves of Nepenthes ventricosa × maxima through solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography, and recrystallization. The yield (0.51%) was higher than that of the root of Plumbago scandens (0.26%), P. capensis (0.15%),...

Summary:A kind of naphthoquinone, plumbagin was purified and identified from the leaves of Nepenthes ventricosa × maxima through solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography, and recrystallization. The yield (0.51%) was higher than that of the root of Plumbago scandens (0.26%), P. capensis (0.15%), and N. thorelii (0.092%). It exhibited antifungal activity against all plant pathogenic fungi tested, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Bipolaris oryzae, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizopus stolonifer var. stolonifer and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
