Abstract

Tanzawaic acids have been isolated from Penicillium citrinum and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Their relative stereochemistries were also clarified by detailed analyses of 1H-1H coupling constants and NOE data. Tanzawaic acid B (GS-1302-1) significantly inhibits superoxide anion production in human neutrophils.
