One new (d-arabinitol-anofinicate, 1) and fourteen known (2-15) compounds were isolated from the marine Penicillium sp. MCCC 3A00228. The structure of the new compound was established mainly by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 exhibited weak transcriptional effect on Nur77. While compound 13 showed moderate in vitro anti-proliferative effect against QGY7701, H1299, and HCT116 tumor cells with IC50 values of 21.2 μM, 18.2 μM, and 17.6 μM, respectively.
