Solistatinol, a novel phenolic compactin analogue from Penicillium solitum

Solistatinol, a novel phenolic compactin analogue, has been isolated from Penicillium solitum using a UV-guided strategy. The structure and relative stereochemistry were determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute stereochemistry was determined by chemical degradation and comparison of CD data with literature data.
