The structure of compound 1 was elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis. Characterization of compounds 2–5 was based on spectral analysis andcomparison with reported data. Compound 3 showed antibacterial activity against the five bacterial strains used, while 1, 4 and 5 presented only antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis.
Compounds 2 and 4 showed antifungal activity, with 100 mg against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

The deshielded secondary carbons at d 46.9 and 68.7,along with a methine carbon at d 56.2, supported the presence ofnitrogen in 1. The above-mentioned NMR signals and the residualmolecular formula of C6H10NO suggested that the residual moietywas the proline aminoacid with a methylene group on the nitrogenatom. Furthermore, the proline moiety was connected via amethylene group [d 4.24 (s, 2H)] to C-10 of the xanthoxylin moiety.
