Two new isocoumarins derivatives, penicimarins J (1) and K (2), were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum HL-5126. Their structures were elucidated through extensive 1D NMR, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by comparison of their circular dichroism (CD) spectra with the literature. Compounds 1 and 2 showed inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase with the IC 50 values of 18.37 and 25.86 μg/mL, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
