The invention discloses a compound with
antibacterial activity in
taxillus chinensis, a preparation method and application of the compound in preparation of antibacterial drugs, and belongs to the field of
phytochemistry. The preparation method comprises the following steps of:
drying taxillus chinensis as a
raw material in the sun, crushing the
taxillus chinensis, soaking and extracting with an
organic solvent, merging extracting solutions, filtering and concentrating to obtain
taxillus chinensis extract extractum; then extracting with n-butyl
alcohol and
dichloromethane, and carrying out vacuum concentration on the
dichloromethane extract to obtain
dichloromethane extract extractum; and dissolving the dichloromethane extract extractum, stirring, carrying out
silica gel column chromatography, concentrating the eluent, carrying out
normal phase silica gel chromatographic column (200-300 meshes) separation and purification, and carrying out gel
column chromatography separation and purification to obtain a target, namely pure indole-4-
formaldehyde. The indole-4-
formaldehyde compound has a relatively strong bacteriostatic effect, and the minimal inhibitory concentration MIC value of the indole-4-
formaldehyde compound on methicillin-resistant
staphylococcus aureus is 128[mu]g / mL, so that the bacteriostatic effect of the indole-4-formaldehyde compound is far superior to that of
clindamycin hydrochloride (MIC is equal to 1024[mu]g / mL).
