Two New Nor‐seco‐Isodhilarane‐Type Meroterpenoids from the Endophytic Fungus Penicillium purpurogenum

Two new nor‐seco isodhilarane meroterpenoids (NSIMs), purpurogenolides F (1) and G (2), along with three known meroterpenoid analogs (3–5), were isolated from the cultures of an endophytic fungus, Penicillium purpurogenum. Structures and absolute configurations of the new NSIMs were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including HR‐ESI‐MS, UV, IR, NMR chemical shift calculations together with DP4+ probability analysis, as well as ECD calculations. All the isolated meroterpenoids were assessed for their anti‐inflammatory activities, and compound 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 value of 20.85±2.31 μM.
