Abstract
The bioassay-guided fractionation of the hydroalcoholic extract from aerial parts of Bacopa procumbens (Mill.)
Greenm., allowed to isolate the known phenolic compound arbutin (1) as well as three new gastrodin derivatives
which were denominated procumgastrodin A, procumgastrodin B and procumgastrodin C. These bioactive
compounds were characterized using spectroscopic (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC) and
spectrometric analysis (HRFAB-MS) as gastrodin 5-(4′”-hydroxybenzoyl)-shikimate (2), gastrodin 5-(cis-p-cou-
maroyl)-shikimate (3) and gastrodin 5-(trans-p-coumaroyl)-shikimate (4). The extracts and fractions showed
antimicrobial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 75 and 400 μg/mL and isolated
compounds (1-4) showed activities of 12.5 to 100 μg/mL. All analyzed compounds displayed activity against any
of the bacteria and yeast evaluated. A mixture of 3 and 4 exhibited particularly potent activity against the yeast
Candida albicans
