Active polyketides isolated from Penicillium herquei

Neste trabalho estamos relatando o isolamento por métodos clássicos de cromatografia de seis policetídeos de Penicillium herquei. Os compostos citreoseine ( 1) , emodina ( 2) , janthinona ( 3) , citrinina ( 4) , citrinina H1( 5) e dicitrinol ( 6) foram identificados por métodos espectrais de RMN 1D e 2D e EM. Os compostos 1, 2 e 3 foram testados contra formas promastigotas de Leishmania brasiliensis e 1 e 2 também foram ensaiados contra a Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Bacillus subtilis e mostraram boa atividade.

ABSTRACT: In this work we are reporting the isolation by classical methods of chromatography of six polyketides from Penicillium herquei. The compounds citreorosein ( 1) , emodin ( 2) , janthinone ( 3) , citrinin ( 4) , citrinin H1 ( 5) and dicitrinol ( 6) were identified by spectral methods of 1D and 2D NMR and MS. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 were tested against promastigotes forms of Leishmania brasiliensis and 1 and 2 were also assayed against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis and showed good activity.
