Bio-guided discovery of antibacterial metabolites from <i>Penicillium chrysogenum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Bio-guided isolation from the Red Sea-derived Penicillium chrysogenum yielded two new metabolites, 15-deoxy-15-amino-citreohybridonol (6) and chrysogenotoxin (7), alongside five known compounds: emodin (1), chrysophanol (2), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (3), haenamindole (4), and citreorosein (5). Compound 6 exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (MIC: 0.31-0.62 μM; MBC: 0.31-0.62 μM) and Gram-negative bacteria (MIC: 0.15-1.25 μM; MBC: 0.62-2.5 μM). Compound 7 showed potent bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria (MIC: 0.07-0.31 μM; MBC: 0.15-0.62 μM) with MBC/MIC ≤ 4, while compound 4 selectively inhibited S. pneumoniae (MIC: 0.31 μM; MBC: 0.62  μM).
