title: A radical scavenging farnesylhydroquinone from a marine-derived fungus Penicillium sp.
abstract: Farnesylhydroquinone (1) has been isolated from the mycelium of a marine-derived fungus of the genus Penicillium. The structure of the compound (1) has been elucidated by spectral method. The compound 1 exhibits potent radical scavenging activity (IC50 12.5 microM) against the DPPH.
