α-Thujaplicin
α-Thujaplicin, the isomer of Hinokitiol (HY-B2230), is an antimicrobial agent. α-Thujaplicin can be isolated from Aomori Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO). α-Thujaplicin shows inhibition of Carboxypeptidase A (IC50: 32.4 μM). α-Thujaplicin shows rather strong antifungal activity against seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi, their MICs being in the range of 12.0-50.0 μg/mL. α-Thujaplicin shows clear antibacterial activity against Legionella pneumophila SG 1 and L. pneumophila SG 3, and their MICs are in the range of 12.5-50 μg/mL. α-Thujaplicin shows antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis IFO-12965 with a MIC of 1.56 μg/mL. α-Thujaplicin shows germination inhibition toward the seed of Echinochloa utilis Ohwi et Yabuno. α-thujaplicin inhibits lymphocytic leukemia, stomach cancer, Ehrlich’s ascites carcinoma.
