A new bis-naphtho-gamma-pyrone isomer named isochaetochromin A(1) was isolated along with known isochaetochromins B-1 and B-2 from the culture broth of Penicillium sp. FKI-4942 by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. Among them, isochaetochromin B-1 showed the most potent inhibitory activity of triacylglycerol synthesis with an IC50 value of 5.6 mu M, followed by isochaetochromins B-2 (IC50, 11 mu M) and A1 (33 mu M).
