Peniphenylanes A-G from the Deep-Sea-Derived Fungus Penicillium fellutanum HDN14-323.

Seven new 6-methylsaligenin derivatives, including the trimeric peniphenylanes A-B (1-2) and dimeric peniphenylanes C-G (3-7), together with four known biogenetically related compounds (8-11) were discovered from the extract of the deep-sea-derived fungus Penicillium fellutanum HDN14-323. The structures of the new compounds were established through extensive analysis. Their cytotoxic activity against HeLa, HL-60, and HCT-116 cell lines was evaluated, with compound 4 exhibiting the best activity against the HeLa cell line (IC50 = 9.3 µM).
