New Meroterpenoids from a Penicillium sp. Fungus

ABSTRACT

Two meroterpenoids (1 and 2) along with twelve known compounds (3 – 14) were isolated from the culture broth of a Penicillium sp. fungus collected from Chuja-do, Korea. Based on the results of a combination of spectroscopic analyses, the new compounds, preaustinoids E (1) and F (2), were determined to be epimeric austin-type penta-cyclic lactones.
