Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2007 Jul;55(7):1097-8. doi: 10.1248/cpb.55.1097.

Abstract

A new antimicrobial anthraquinone, 1,8-dihydroxy-2-methoxy-6-methylanthraquinone, monodictyquinone A (1), was isolated from a culture of a marine-derived fungus of the genus Monodictys which was isolated from the sea urchin, Anthocidaris crassispina, along with three known compounds, pachybasin (2), chrysophanol (3), and emodin (4).
