Abstract
Taking plant metabolites as material to develop new biological fungicides is still an important mission for pesticide development, and the preliminary study confirmed that Allium mongolicum showed a certain inhibitory effect on plant pathogens. In this study, the antifungal activity of extracts of A. mongolicum was studied and the compounds were isolated, purified, and identified by HPLC, NMR, and ESI-MS. The methanol extract of A. mongolicum exhibited certain inhibitory activity against almost all nine tested pathogens at concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. Sixteen compounds were isolated and purified from the extract, which were identified as nine flavonoids, six phenolic acids, and an amino acid. Among them, cinnamic acid derivatives 1, 2, and 3 and flavonoids 7, 8, 9, and 13 were separated in A. mongolicum for the first time.
