Abstract
From the ethyl acetate extract of the strain Streptomyces sp. isolate GW23/1540, besides 16 known products, several 1H-quinazolin-4-one derivatives were isolated. (S*R*)-2-(1-Hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (4) and (R*R*)-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (5) are new natural products. 2-Methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (2) and 1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione (3) are known from other bacteria and plants, respectively. From another Streptomyces sp., GW2/577, 5-methyl-1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione (6) was isolated and the structure proven by comparison with the isomeric 7. The new natural products showed no activity against the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella sorokiniana, and Scenedesmus subspicatus, the fungus Mucor miehei, the yeast Candida albicans, and the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Streptomyces viridochromogenes.
