A pair of new quinolone alkaloid enantiomers, ( Ra )-(-)-viridicatol ( 1 ) and ( Sa )-(+)-viridicatol ( 4 ), and seven known compounds, namely, 2 , 3 and 5 - 9 , were isolated from Penicillium christenseniae SD.84. The structures of 1 and 4 were determined using NMR and HRESIMS data. Theoretical calculations through CD and ECD confirmed 1 and 4 as a pair of enantiomers. The MIC values of 4 against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus were 12.4 and 24.7 μM, respectively, compound 1 had no inhibitory activity. Antimicrobial assays of 2 , 3 , and 5 - 7 showed a moderate activity against S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus . This study demonstrated the remarkable potential of Penicillium sp. to produce new drug-resistant leading compounds, thereby advancing the mining for new sources of antimicrobial agents.
