Abstract
Three new mycophenolic acid derivatives, penicacids A-C (1-3), together with two known analogues, mycophenolic acid (MPA, 4) and 4′-hydroxy-MPA (5), were isolated from a fungus Penicillium sp. SOF07 derived from a South China Sea marine sediment. The structures of compounds 1-3 were elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR (1H, 13C, HSQC and HMBC) data analyses and comparisons with the known compounds. Structure-activity relationship studies of compounds 1-5 focused on inosine-monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibition revealed that hydroxylation at C-4′, methylation at C-7-OH, dual hydroxylation at C-2′/C-3′ double bond of MPA diminished bioactivity whereas glucosyl hydroxylation at C-4′ correlated to bioactivity comparable to that observed for MPA.
