Abstract
Principal components of aquatic plants responsible for inhibiting the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa, a blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) were determined. Methanol extracts of Brasenia schreberi showed strong inhibitory activity against the growth of the cyanobacterium. Two purified flavonoids were afforded through repeated column chromatographies. The compounds were determined as quercetin (1) and quercetin 3-O-(6″-galloyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside, tellimoside (2) by the interpretation of spectroscopic data including NMR, MS, and IR. Compounds 1 and 2 were first isolated from Brasenia schreberi. In addition, compound 2 showed very strong inhibitory activity against the growth of M. Aeruginosa.
