Abstract
An antifungal compound 9, 10-dihydrophenanthrene - 2 - carboxylic acid was isolated from a marine derivedbacterium Pseudomonas putida isolated from surface water samples of Karachi fish harbor coast line. The structure wasexplored using extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques.
The compound was found to be active againstfungal strains obtained from clinical samples whereas strong activity was noted against Candida albicans with a MICvalue of 20µg/ml, as the purified compound showed promising anticandidal activity a multidisciplinary approach isneeded to explore further this compound as potential pharmacological lead compound against Candida spp and will addin the global hunt for clinically functional antifungal agents.
