Zosteropenillines: Polyketides from the MarineDerived Fungus Penicillium thomii.

Twelve new polyketides, zosteropenillines A-L (1-12), together with known polyketide pallidopenilline A (13), were isolated from the ethylacetate extract of the fungus Penicillium thomii associated with the seagrass Zostera marina. Their structures were established based on spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of zosteropenilline A (1) as 4R, 5S, 8S, 9R, 10R, and 13S was determined by a combination of the modified Mosher's method, X-ray analysis, and NOESY data.

Pallidopenillines: Polyketides from the Alga-Derived Fungus Penicillium thomii Maire KMM 4675.

Eleven new polyketides, pallidopenillines 1-11, were isolated from the alga-derived fungus Penicillium thomii. The structures of these compounds were established based on spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of pallidopenilline A (1) as 4R, 5S, 8S, 9R, 10R, 13R was established using a combination of the modified Mosher's method, X-ray analysis, and NOESY data.

New 6,6-Spiroketal from the Alga-Derived Fungus Penicillium lividum.

The new 6,6-spiroketal,sargassopenilline H (1), and known peneciraistin C (2) have been isolated from an EtOAc extract of the marine-derived fungus Penicillium lividumKMM 4663. The structure of the new metabolite was determined by HR ESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Sargassopenilline H (1) in non-cytotoxic concentration inhibited colony formation of RPMI-7951 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines.

Sargassopenillines A-G, 6,6-spiroketals from the alga-derived fungi Penicillium thomii and Penicillium lividum.

Seven new 6,6-spiroketals, sargassopenillines A-G (1-7) were isolated from the alga-derived fungi Penicillium thomii KMM 4645 and Penicillium lividum KMM 4663. The structures of these metabolites were determined by HR-MS and 1D and 2D NMR. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 5 and 6 were assigned by the modified Mosher's method and by CD data.

Meroterpenoids from the alga-derived fungi Penicillium thomii Maire and Penicillium lividum Westling.

Ten new austalide meroterpenoids (1-10) were isolated from the alga-derived fungi Penicillium thomii KMM 4645 and Penicillium lividum KMM 4663. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with related known compounds. The absolute configurations of some of the metabolites were assigned by the modified Mosher's method and CD data.
