ABSTRACT
From the moss Erythrodontium julaceum Paris growing in Vietnam, julacelide (1), a new 3-benzylphthalide, along with methyl orsellinate (2), ethyl orsellinate (3), 4-O-methylhaematommic acid (4), and zeorin (5), were isolated and structurally elucidated. Their chemical structures were elucidated through extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy as well as through comparisons to the existing literature. Compound 4-O-methylhaematommic acid was a new natural product. The absolute configuration of julacelide was defined using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. Julacelide was evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibition.
