Moneses uniflora

Chlorochimaphilin (103) from the British Columbian medicinal plant Moneses uniflora shows good activity against a range of bacteria and pathogenic fungi [85]. 

Isomarinone (1679), an isomer of the previously known marinone (7), was isolated from the same tropical sediment bacterium (1638). Another marine-derived bacterium related to the genus Streptomyces has yielded the novel azamerone (1680) (1639). The British Columbian medicinal plant Moneses uniflora contains the antibiotic 8-chlorochimaphilin (1681), which is more active than chimaphilin (1640). Sesame roots (Sesamum indicum) have yielded the red chlorinated naphthoquinone chlorosesamone (1682) (1641). Cultures of Streptomyces strain LL-A9227 produce chloroquinocin (1683), which has some antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (1642). The two xestoquinones 1684 and 1685 were characterized from the Philippino sponge Xestospongia sp., and display topoisomerase II activity (1643).

A number of plant extracts and compounds have potent antimycobacterial properties. Examples of the species that appear to be among the most active include Allium sativum, Borrichia frutescens, Ferula communis, Heracleum maximum, Karwinskia humboldtiana, Leucas volkensii, Moneses uniflora, Oplopanax horridus, Salvia multicaulis, and Strobilanthus cusia. (Newton et al 2000).
