Two meroterpenoids (1 and 2) along with twelve known compounds (3 - 14) were isolated from the culture broth of a Penicillium sp. fungus collected from Chuja-do, Korea. Based on the results of a combination of spectroscopic analyses, the new compounds, preaustinoids E (1) and F (2), were determined to be epimeric austintype penta-cyclic lactones.

Sargassum serratifolium is a rich source of antioxidant meroterpenoids. The optimal extraction temperature and time for obtaining maximal antioxidant yield, antioxidant activity, and phenolic content from Sargassum serratifolium were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). The ranges of the independent variables for extraction temperature and time were 30-70℃ and 12-36 h, respectively. With increasing temperature and time, the yield increased significantly, while DPPH (2,2-dipheny-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity and total phenolic content decreased significantly. The optimal extraction temperature and time obtained by RSM were 54℃ and 7 h, respectively, providing a yield of 8.2%, DPPH radical-scavenging activity of 60%, and total phenolic content of 163 mg GAE/g. The findings of this study provide useful information for the development of Sargassum serratifolium extraction processes for the food and cosmetic industries.
