YUD17004. Their diverse structures included two indanone-type polyketides penicillyketides A and B, a phthalide-like polyketides penicillyketide C, a symmetrical chromone dimer penicillyketide D, along with a pyrone derivative pyranlyketide, which were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation and quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism calculation. Notably, the structures of penicillyketides A and B feature a highly functionalized indanone ring nucleus, but differ from other indanone-containing polyketides by the alkyl substitution pattern. The structure of penicillyketide C comprises a furanone ring instead of the hydroxycyclopentenone ring characteristic for penicillyketides A and B, and represents an undescribed arrangement within C17 polyketides. Penicillyketide D represented the first example of a chromone homodimer with the bridge at C-2/2'. Penicillyketide B exhibited weak anti-inflammatory activity with an IC50 value of 32 ± 1.0 μM. Penicillyketide D displayed weak cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line with an IC50 value of 25 ± 0.9 μM.
