Biologically active polyketides produced by Penicillium janthinellum isolated as an endophytic fungus from fruits of Melia azedarach
(2005-04) MARINHO, Andrey Moacir do Rosário; RODRIGUES FILHO, Edson; MOITINHO, Maria da Luz Ribeiro; SANTOS, Lourivaldo da Silva
Penicillium janthinellum, isolated as an endophytic fungus from fruits of Melia azedarach, was cultivated over 20 days on ground and autoclaved white corn, where the known polyketides citrinin, emodin, 1,6,8-trihydroxy-3-hydroxymethylanthraquinone, and a new modified anthraquinone, named janthinone, were produced and isolated by classical chromatographic procedures and identified by MS and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The antibacterial properties of these polyketides were investigated. Citrinin inhibited 100% of Leishmania growth after 48h at a concentration of 40 μg mL-1.

C25 steroid epimers produced by Penicillium janthinellum, a fungus isolated from fruits Melia azedarach
(2005-12) MARINHO, Andrey Moacir do Rosário; RODRIGUES FILHO, Edson; FERREIRA, Antônio Gilberto; SANTOS, Lourivaldo da Silva
A plant-derived fungus, Penicillium janthinellum, obtained from Melia azedarach, produced ergosterol and ergosterol 5a,8a-peroxide along with a mixture of rare C25 steroid epimers. The C25 steroids, named neocyclocitrinols, shows exactly the same tetracyclic ring system present in cyclocitrinol, which was isolated from a sponge-derived Penicillium citrinum, with the same bicyclo [4:4:1] skeleton at A/B rings, but showing different side chains. The P. janthinellum was cultivated over white corn and the three steroids were isolated by several silica gel based chromatographic procedures and identified by extensive NMR methods, mainly 1H – 13C correlations and 1H – 1H COSY and TOCSY. The biosynthetic origin of the cyclocitrinols is also discussed.
