A series of meroterpenoids with rearranged skeletons from an endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. GDGJ-285

TL;DR: In this article, the skeleton meroterpenoids of the fungus Penicillium sp. GDGJ-285 were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory phenolic derivatives produced by the Beibu Gulf coral-associated fungus Acremonium sclerotigenum GXIMD 02501.

TL;DR: In this paper , three new chlorinated orsellinic aldehyde derivatives, orsaldechlorins A -C (1-3), and a naturally new brominated ORSinic acid (7), along with ten known biosynthetically related phenolic derivatives, were identified from the Beibu Gulf coral-derived fungus Acremonium sclerotigenum GXIMD 02501.
