Abstract

Two isocoumarin derivatives, stoloniferol A (1) and B (2), a known 5a, 8a-epidioxy-23-methyl-(22E, 24R)-ergosta-6, 22-dien-3 β-ol (3), and a known dihydrocitrinone (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the sea squirt-derived fungus,Penicillium stoloniferum QY2-10, and a halophilic fungus,Penicillium notatum B-52, respectively. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and optical rotation. The stereochemistry of 2 was determined on the basis of different NOE experiments and chemical transformation. Compound 3 showed cytotoxicity against P388 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.07 μ.M.
