Quinolone Alkaloids from the Arctic Bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract

Four quinolone alkaloids, 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (1), 2-nonyl-4-quinolone (2), 2-undecyl-4-quinolone (3), and 2-undecen-1′-yl-4-quinolone (4), together with two nitrogen derived benzoic acid derivatives, N-acetylanthranilic acid (5) and o-acetamidobenzamide (6) have been isolated from the Arctic bacterial strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The structures of the compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR, and MS experiments, as well as by comparison of their data with published values. To the best of our knowledge, compounds 3？6 were isolated for the first time from P. aeruginosa.
