- Abstract: To study the chemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of Acori Calami Rhizoma. Components were isolated through various chromatographic methods and identified by spectroscopic data. The agar dilution method was adopted to analyze antimicrobial activity of the compounds in vitro.Eleven sesquiterpenoids were isolated, and indentified as 4β,6β-dihydroxy-1α,5β(H)-guai-9-ene(1),4β,6β-dihydroxy-1α,5β(H)-guai-10(14)-ene(2), teuclatriol(3), isocalamendiol(4), calamendiol(5), calamusin H(6), oxyphyllenodiols A(7), oplodiol(8), ananosmin(9), epishyobunone(10), and bullatantriol(11). Compound 9 was isolated from genus Acorus for the first time. Compounds 3, 7-9, and 11 had significantly antimicrobial activity. There were good sterilizing effects that the MBC of compound 9 to the four tested strains were 20.00 mg•L⁻¹, and compound 11 to Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 12.50 mg•L⁻¹.
