Anthraquinone pigment with herbicidal potential from Phoma herbarum FGCC#54

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Metabolites from Phoma sp., a phytopathogenic fungus, were exploited for their herbicidal potential. The phytotoxic compound isolated was identified as anhydropseudophlegmacin-9,10-quinone-3′-amino-8′-O-methyl ether on the basis of spectral data. The isolated pigment was tested for its herbicidal potential against the prominent weeds of Central India, where a positive result was obtained.
