Bioassy-directed fractionation of a culture broth of Penicillium citrinum F5 led to the isolation of a novel antioxidant 2,3,4-trimethyl-5,7-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (1), together with gentisic acid (2), and their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. In the 1,1-diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay system, compounds 1 and 2 showed free radical scavenging activity with IC(20) values of 10.39 and 4.26 microM, respectively.
