Secondary metabolites from fungal endophytes have become an interesting, attractive, and alternative source for novel pharmaceuticals. Several novel compounds with diversified chemical structures have been isolated from endophytic fungi. The genus Penicillium has been exploited worldwide for its biosynthetic potential

Penicillium roqueforti is a filamentous fungus involved in the ripening of several kinds of blue cheeses. In addition, this fungus produces several secondary metabolites, including the meroterpenoid compound andrastin A, a promising antitumoral compound. However, to date the genomic cluster
Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 53(8), 2908-2913 (2005-04-14)
This is the first finding of andrastins in blue cheese as well as any other sample type. Here, they were produced by the secondary starter culture Penicillium roqueforti. After purification by normal-phase chromatography followed by combined reverse-phase ion-exchange chromatography, the
