Abstract

Four new diketopiperazine alkaloids, citriperazines A-D were isolated from algae-derived Penicillium sp. KMM 4672. The structures of compounds 1-4 were determined using spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 4 were established by comparison of calculated and experimental ECD spectra. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1-4 against several human prostate cell lines was evaluated.

Keywords: secondary metabolites; ECD; Penicillium sp.; TDDFT; diketopiperazines.
