Abstract:

This experiment aims to study the secondary metabolites of fungus Penicillium sp. SCSIO 40438 from the South China Sea. The solid fermentation products of the strain were isolated and purified by a variety of separation methods, including silica gel column, Sephadex LH-20 gel column, and preparative high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance, high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy and comparison with the previously reported data. Nine compounds were obtained and identified as 1-(2-Methylbut-3-en-2-yl)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1), 1-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone (2), fructigenine A (3), fructigenine B (4), 2-[(s)-hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]-3-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (5), 3-Methylviridicatin (6), 3-O-methylviridicatol (7), viridicatol (8), (+)-cyclopenol (9), and compounds 1 and 2 are two new natural products. Compound 8showed moderate antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) values of 8.0 μg·mL-1.
