Bioactive Lactones from the Mangrove-Derived Fungus Penicillium sp. TGM112

Mar Drugs. 2019 Jul 24;17(8):433. doi: 10.3390/md17080433.

Abstract

Three new lactones penicilactones A-C (1-3) were obtained from the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium sp. TGM112. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by detailed NMR, MS spectroscopic data, Mo2(OAc)4-induced electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Compound 1 showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 6.25 μg/mL. Compound 2 showed insecticidal activity against newly hatched larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus with the LC50 value of 78.5 (±0.58) μg/mL.

Keywords: Penicillium sp.; antibacterial activity; insecticidal activity; lactones.
