Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an organic extract of the broth from the marine-derived fungus culture of Aspergillus parasiticus led to the isolation and subsequent structural elucidation of a new gabosine derivative, parasitenone (1), and two known benzyl alcohols, 3-chloro-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol (2) and gentisyl alcohol (3). The benzyl alcohols (2, 3) were identified as the principal free radical scavenging components. Parasitenone (1) also showed moderate activity in the free radical scavenging assay.Keywords
