Penipurdin A was first reported as an orange-red anthraquinone produced by soil-derived Penicillium purpurogenum by Li and co-workers from the Key Laboratory of Plant Resources Conservation and Sustainable Utilization, Guangdong, China in 2015. Penipurdin A did not have cytotoxic activity in vitro against A549, HepG2 and Hela cell lines. The bioprofile of penipurdin A is largely unexplored.
