Abstract

Dichlororinated bibenzyl compound (4) has been isolated from the New Zealand liverwort. This compound was elucidated using 1D/2D-NMR and mass spectral method. The compound (3) inhibited the growth of the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis ATCC 19659, (2 mm inhibition zone and 2 mm inhibition zone at 30 ${\mu}$g/disc), Candida albicans ATCC 14053, (2 mm inhibition zone and 2 mm inhibition zone at 30 ${\mu}$g/disc), and the dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185, (12 mm inhibition zone at 30 ${\mu}$g/disc) and Cladosporium resinae ATCC 52833 (2 mm inhibition zone at 30 ${\mu}$g/disc). This bibenzyl compound (4) exhibited antimicrobial activity.
