Abstract

In a screen searching for new bioactive agents, a new indoloditerpene, penijanthine A (1), was isolated from Penicillium janthinellum IFM 55557. The structure of 1 was established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical investigation, as well as detailed comparison with the spectroscopic and physico-chemical data of paxilline (2), which was isolated along with 1.
