Abstract:
31 compounds (mainly sesquiterpenoids) were identified in the composition of the wood oil of Fokienia hodginsii (Dunn) Hery et Thomas, Cupressaceae, of Vietnam. Trans nerolidol (35.0%) and fokienol (25.2%) are the major constituents of the oil. A novel oxygenated sesquiterpen, farnesa-1, 8, 10-trien -3,7-oxide was isolated from the oil, their structure were characterized by MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR. For the first time, the antibacterial and antifungal activity against 15 microorganisms of the oil as well as the isolated sesquiterpenoids trans nerolidol, fokienol and a-cadinol was studied.
