title: Expanding the strategies in natural product studies of marine-derived fungi: a chemical investigation of penicillium obtained from deep water sediment.
abstract: Three previously unknown pentaketides, (+)-formylanserinone B (3), (-)-epoxyserinone A (4), and (+)-epoxyserinone B (5), along with two known fungal pigments, anserinones A (1) and B (2), were isolated and identified from a deep water (-4380 ft), marine-derived saltwater fungal culture. Two other minor constituents, hydroxymethylanserinone B (6) and deoxyanserinone B (7), were also isolated, but not completely purified. The structures of 3-7, each expanding the dense functionalization of the anserinones, were determined by dereplication and spectroscopic analysis. Bioactivity was explored in two separate cell-based assays. Leukemia selectivity was greatest with 2 and 3, while 1-3 exhibited modest activity against the MDA-MB-435 cell line.
