Novel Decaturin Alkaloids from the Marine-Derived Fungus Penicillium Oxalicum

Abstract

From the mycelia of Penicillium oxalicum two new compounds, decaturins E (1) and F (2), have been isolated, along with four known analogues, decaturin A (3), decaturin C (4), decaturin D (5), and oxalicine B (6). The structures were determined by HR-ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR analysis.
