Abstract
A new meroterpenoid, austalide H acid ethyl ester (1), 5-(2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methylphenyl)-3-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (2), 5-(2′-hydroxy-6′-methylphenyl)-3-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (3) and 5-((6′-methyl-4′-oxo-3′,4′-dihydro-2H-pyran-2′-yl)methyl)-3-methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (4), along with six known compounds, austalides H, J, K, and P (5–8), questin (9) and sulochrin (10) were isolated from the lipophilic extract of the alga-derived fungi Penicillium thomii KMM 4645 and Penicillium lividum KMM 4663. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined based on spectroscopic methods. The austalides showed significant inhibitory activity against endo-1,3-β-d-Glucanase from a crystalline stalk of the marine mollusk Pseudocardium sachalinensis.
