Abstract
An anacardic acid analog (1) was isolated from the fungus Paecilomyces variotii which was derived from the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai. Compound 1 was isolated from a natural source for the first time and was evaluated for antibacterial activity against human and marine pathogens, including MDR (multidrugresistant) strains. Compound 1 exhibited mild antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli DC 2, Streptococcus iniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 3089 (MRSA).
