Abstract
Farnesylhydroquinone (1) has been isolated from the mycelium of a marine-derived fungus of the genus Penicillium. The structure of the compound (1) has been elucidated by spectral method. The compound 1 exhibits potent radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}{\;}12.5{\;}{\mu}M$) against the DPPH.
