Abstract

Fourteen new terpenoids plagicosins A-N (1-14), including seven sesquiterpenoids (1-7) consisting of six ent-bicyclogermacrenes and one ent-2,3-seco-aromadendrane, as well as seven diterpenoids (8-14) comprising five fusicoccanes, a eunicellane, and a rare gersemiane, were isolated from the Chinese liverwort Plagiochila fruticosa Mitt. The structures of these terpenoids were determined on the basis of comprehensive analysis of MS and NMR spectroscopic data coupled with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and coupling constant calculations. Plagicosin F (6) displayed potent antivirulence activity through inhibiting the hyphal morphogenesis, adhesion, and biofilm formation of Candida albicans. The genes related to hyphal formation were regulated by 6.
