Abstract |
Two new benzoquinones, citriquinone A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the methanol extract of a soil fungus, Penicillium citrinum. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. Citriquinone A (1) exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus sp. and cell migration inhibitory activity (CMIA) against human cancer cell line HEp 2.
