9-epi-Blumenol C
9-epi-Blumenol C is a C13-norisoprenoid (carotenoid derivative) compound with allelopathic and antifungal activities, and can regulate plant growth. The IC50 values ??of 9-epi-Blumenol C for watercress roots and hypocotyls are 2780 μM and 2240 μM, respectively, and for perennial ryegrass roots and coleoptiles are 3290 μM and 2950 μM, respectively. 9-epi-Blumenol C exhibits allelopathic activity through a mechanism involving direct inhibition of plant growth and degradation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization, thereby weakening nutrient uptake and stress resistance in neighboring plants. 9-epi-Blumenol C can be used in herbicide development and research related to plant competition mechanisms. 9-epi-Blumenol C can be obtained from the dried fallen leaves of Metasequoia glyptostroboides (a plant of the cypress family, genus Metasequoia) through extraction with 70% methanol and purification by ethyl acetate extraction.
