In continuation of our screening of antifungal active compounds from the fermentation extracts of soil borne bacteria Burkholderia cepacia K87 afforded three phthalate derivatives, dibutyl phthalate ( 1 ), dioctyl phthalate ( 2 ), and phthalate ester of alkylated 9-hydroxynonanoic acid ( 3 ). Compound 3 was reported first time. These phthalate derivatives were found to be marginally active or inactive against a number of bacteria and fungi.
Keywords: Burkholderia cepacia K87; Phthalate; Antifungal.
