Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate a panel of 43 apoptotic proteins to assess the possible apoptotic induction effect of bacterial EPSs showing promising cytotoxic effects in HepG2 cells in our previous study, in an attempt to introduce exopolysaccharides as new source for cancer treatment.
A soft coral-derived fungus Penicillium sp. among other isolates e high antibacterial, anti-yeast and cytotoxic activities. The fungus, Penicillium sp.

Hydroxy marilone C was purified and fractionated by a silica gel column with a gradient mobile phase dichloromethane (DCM):methanol then Sephadex LH-20 column using methanol as a mobile phase. It was subjected to many procedures such as infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Mass spectroscopy (MS) and UV spectroscopy for elucidation of its structure.
