DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a novel indene derivative isolated from adlay bean sprouts and showing excellent antibacterial activity.

[0004]

However, the present inventors have
As a result of diligent research on the antibacterial activity of dried products, squeezed juices and extracts of coix sprouts, a new indene derivative was isolated when the bean sprouts were subjected to a predetermined treatment and the indene derivative showed excellent antibacterial activity. I found that.

That is, the present invention relates to an indene derivative represented by the following formula 1 and an antibacterial agent containing the same as an active ingredient.

[Formula 1]

The indene derivative represented by the formula 1 is isolated by treating pearl barley sprouts as follows.
First, as described later in detail in Examples, pearl barley seeds are subjected to dark culture to obtain pearl barley sprouts. The target pearl barley seeds are not particularly limited in their variety such as Tokuda native species, Nakazato native species, Okayama native species, and Kuroishi native species. In addition, the dark culture can be performed according to general bean sprouts dark culture conditions. For example, adlay seeds may be subjected to dark culture at 25 ° C. for about 4 to 8 days. The thus obtained pearl barley sprouts can be used for all parts thereof.

As will be described later in more detail in the Examples, the above-mentioned bean sprouts, ground products, freeze-dried products, and further pulverized products are extracted with a lower alcohol such as methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Then, the extract is subjected to a liquid-liquid partition extraction process with chloroform, acetone or the like to obtain a simple lipid easily soluble in acetone.

Finally, this is repeated chromatographic fractionation of the simple lipids described above, again as described in more detail in the Examples, to isolate the desired compound. The chromatographic fractionation treatment is preferably carried out by using mobile phases having different polarities and combining gel permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography.

The structural analysis results of the compound thus isolated are as follows. (1) Molecular weight: 190 (C ₁₁ H ₁₀ O ₃ ) (2) Infrared absorption spectrum: 1585, 1703, 3
