The thermophilic fungusPenicilliumspecies was isolated from Ghamiqa hot spring sediments in Saudi Arabia. Extract ofPenicilliumspecies cultured on solid rice medium yielded two new compounds 3-(furan 12-carboxylic acid)-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-4 and 5-dihydro-2H-pyran13α-methyl-7-hydroxy-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester-1-indanone2. In addition, three known compounds, austinol3, emodin4, and 2-methyl-penicinoline5, were isolated. The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously determined by comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data, one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. All isolated metabolites were studied for their antibiotic effect against several pathogenic bacteria and for their cytotoxicity against the lymphoma human cancer cell line HTB-176. Austinol3exhibited strong antibacterial activity againstP. aeruginosabacterial strain with an MIC value of 0.13 ± 0.4 µg·mL−1, whereas emodin4demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against the tested HTB-176 cell line with an IC50value of 2 ± 7.6 µM, while the other compounds were moderate to inactive with IC50ranging from 4.3 ± 0.25–22 ± 2.94 µM in this assay.
