Abstract

Abstract Microluside A 4 (19-para-hydroxy benzoyloxy-O-β-d-cellobiosyl), 5 (30-para-hydroxy benzoyloxy-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl) xanthone (1) is a unique O-glycosylated disubstituted xanthone isolated from the broth culture of Micrococcus sp. \EG45\ cultivated from the Red Sea sponge Spheciospongia vagabunda. The structure of microluside A was determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques as well as high resolution tandem mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial activity evaluation showed that 1 exhibited antibacterial potential against Enterococcus faecalis \JH212\ and Staphylococcus aureus \NCTC\ 8325 with \MIC\ values of 10 and 13 μM, respectively.
