Percentages and other amounts referred to in this specification are by weight unless indicated otherwise. Percentages are selected from any ranges used to total 100%.
Example 1: Preparation of an Extract, EX-1 Sliced dried root barks of Morus australis Poir. (Moraceae) were pulverized and screen with a sieve. 100 g of the resulting powder was mixed with 95 wt% ethanol aqueous solution 1000 ml (10: 1 (v/w)) in a round-bottom flask, and the resulting mixture was boiled under refluxing for one hour and filtered with a sieve of mesh number 350 and #2 filter paper to obtain a filtrate and a residue. The residue was subjected to the extraction under refluxing and the filtration under the conditions same as the above.
The resulting two filtrates were combined, and a small portion thereof was dried by evaporation to calculate a dry power weight of the combined filtrate, which is 10.21 g, i.e. 10.21 wt% yield of crude extract. The combined filtrate was concentrated to 1/10 of its original weight, and to the resulting concentrate an equal weight of water was added. The resulting mixture was introduced to a reverse phase chromatography column packed with polystyrene adsorption resin (Diaion� HP2O, Mitsubishi, Japan) in an amount of 30 times by dry weight of the concentrate of the combined filtrate, which was then eluted with 2 bed volumes (bed volume = 600 ml) of 50 wt% ethanol aqueous solution (1200 ml), and then 2 bed volumes of 95 wt% ethanol aqueous solution (1200 ml) in sequence. The eluate from 95 wt% ethanol aqueous solution was collected and concentrated in vacuo to dry.
2.73 g of diy extract with a code name of EX-1 was thus obtained with a yield of 26.7%, based on the dry weight of the concentrate of the combined filtrate, and 2.73%, based on the weight of the dried root barks.
Example 2: Separation of Extract EX-l To a homogenous solution of 2 g EX-l in 10 ml methanol 10 ml pure water was added, and the resulting mixture was then vigorously shaken to facilitate precipitating therein, followed by centrifugation at 10000 rpm for minutes. The solid resulting from the centrifugation was subjected to the dissolution, precipitating and centrifugation steps. Total six cycles were carried out.
The six liquids obtained from the six centrifugations were combined and was concentrated in vacuo to dry (weight 1.3 g). The resulting dry powder was introduced to a silica gel column (3.2 cm x 48.5 cm) packed with Silica Gel 60 in an amount of 30 times by weight of the dry powder, which was then eluted with 15 bed volumes (bed volume = 250) of a mixed mobile phase of toluene: ethyl acetate = 7: 3 (3750 ml). The eluate was collected in a pre-determined number of bottles in sequence. The liquid in each bottle was concentrated in vacuo to dry, and a small amount of methanol was added back tO dissolve the resulting dry powder, which was then introduced into a dextran gel column (1.5 cm x 40 cm) packed with Sephadex LH-20 resin in an amount of 100 times by weight of the dry powder. The column was eluted with one bed volume of methanol (30 ml), and fractions of compounds P2-i, P2-2, P3.-i and P3-2 were obtained.
Each fraction was concentrated in vacuo to dry, and then subjected to purification with preparative HPLC. Compounds P2-i, P2-2, P3-i and P3-2 were obtained. Yield of compound P3-I is 2.3% (46 mg), based on the weight of EX-1, and yield of compound P3-2 is 3.65% (73 mg), based on the weight of EX-1.
The residue after the six centrifugation was dissolved in methanol and the resulting solution was concentrated in vacuo to dry. The resulting dry powder was introduced to a silica gel column (3.2 cm x 48.5 cm) packed with Silica Gel 60 in an amount of 30 times by weight of the dry powder, which was then eluted with two bed volumes (bed volume = 250) of a mixed mobile phase of toluene: ethyl acetate = 9: 1 (500 ml). The eluate was collected in a pre-determined number of bottles in sequence. The liquid in each bottle was concentrated in vacuo to dry, and a small amount of methanol was added back to dissolve the resulting dry powder, which was then introduced into a dextran gel column (1.5 cm x 40 cm) packed with Sephadex LH-20 resin in an amount of 100 times by weight of the dry powder. The column was eluted with one bed volume of methanol (30 ml), and compounds P3-3 and P3-4 were obtained.

Anti-microbial Test Staphylococcus aureus (Smith), and Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant (ATCC 33591), In Vitro Bacteria Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of sample on Staphylococcus aureus (Smith) and Staphylococcus aureus, Methicill in Resistant (ATCC 33591) was determined by the broth dilution method [Edwards J.R. et al. In vitro antibacterial activity of SM-7338, a carbapenem antibiotic with stability to dehydropeptidase I. Antimicrobial Agents Chemotherapy. 33: pp. 215-222, 1989]. The test substance was dissolved (generally 100% DMSO) and serially diluted in solvent to desired stock concentrations. For each concentration tested, a 0.01 ml aliquot (1% DMSO final concentration) was added to a 48-well plate after which 0.99 ml of Mueller-Hinton Broth (DIFCO, USA.) with 1-5 x i05 CFU/ml of Staphylococcus aureus (Smith) or Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant (ATCC 33591) was added. Thus, final maximal concentration of DMSO was 1% and the initial test substance concentration was 100 jig/mi or jiM. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 20 hours and then visually examined and scored positive (+) for inhibition of growth or turbidity or negative (-) for no effect upon growth or turbidity. Vehicle-control and active reference agents were used as blank and positive controls, respectively. Each concentration was evaluated in duplicate. The results are shown in Table 1.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (ATCC 6301) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (Erythromycin and Ampicillin Res. Clin. Isol.), In Vitro Bacteria Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of sample on Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneurnoniae (Erythromycin and Amp ici 11 in Res. Clin. Isol.) was determined by the broth dilution method [Edwards J.R.
et al. In vitro antibacterial activity of SM-7338, a carbapenern antibiotic with stability to dehydropeptidase I. Antimicrobial Agents Chemotherapy. 33: pp. 215-222, 1989.]. The test substance was dissolved (generally 100% DMSO) and serially diluted in solvent to desired stock concentrations. For each concentration tested, a 0.Olml aliquot (1% DMSO final concentration) was added to a 48-well plate after which 0.99 ml of Tryptic Soy Broth (DIFCO, U. S. A.) containing 7% fetal bovine serum with 1-5 x i05 CFU/ml of Streptococcus pneurnoniae (ATCC 6301) or Streptococcus pneumoniae (Erythromycin and Ampicillin Res. Clin. Isol.) was added. Thus, final maximal concentration of DMSO was 1% and the initial test substance concentration was 100 jig/ml or 30 jiM. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 20 hours and then visually examined and scored positive (+) for inhibition of growth or turbidity or negative (-) for no effect upon growth or turbidity. Vehicle-control and active reference agents were used as blank -12-and positive controls, respectively. Each concentration was evaluated in duplicate. The results are shown in Table 1.

It can be seen from Table 1 that compound P3-2 is very potent in inhibiting growth of SA (smith) and MRSA with MIC of both 0.3 pg/ml.
In contrast, MIC of Gentamicin on MRSA is 10 times to that on SA (Smith).
Compound P3-i shows potency in inhibiting growth on SA (Smith) and MRSA with MIC of 1 and 3pg/ml, respectively. Compound P3-i is -13 -relatively less potent in in inhibiting growth on SP and SP (EM & AM Res.) with MIC of 30 and 10 pg/m1, respectively.
Surprisingly, the Extract EX-1 of the present invention shows very strong inhibition on growth of SA and MRSA with MIC of 0.3 and 1 pg/ml, S respectively, in view of the contents of P3-2 and P3-i being respectively 3.65 wt% and 2.3 wt% therein. It is apparent that components contained in the extract EX-1 create a synergistic effect on inhibiting the growth of SA and MRSA, so that the extract EX-1 has very low MIC values on SA and MRSA.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific details of certain embodiments thereof, it is not intended that such details should be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention except as and to the extent that they are included in the accompanying claims.
