A mycophenolic acid derivative from the fungus Penicillium sp. SCSIO sof101

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a group of metabolite derived from several species of Penicillium, which shows potent bioactivity. In this study, a new derivative of MPA compound named penicacid D (1), was isolated from the marine derived fungus Penicillium sp. SCSIO sof101, along with seven known compounds (2-8). Their structures were elucidated based on the HR-ESI-MS and NMR data. Moreover, the H-1 and C-13 NMR data of compound 2 and the C-13 NMR data of compound 3 are reported. Compounds 1, 4 and 6 exhibited weak activities against Escherichia coli (clinical isolation number 100385570) and Acinetobacter baumannii (clinical isolation number 100069).
