Overexpression of the PbrlaeA gene of the fungus Penicillium brocae HDN-12-143 resulted in the isolation of four compounds including fumigatin chlorohydrin (1), whose configuration has not been reported before, and one new compound iso-fumigatin chlorohydrin (2). All structures including absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data, 13C NMR calculations, and ECD calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 with IC50 of 18.63 and 24.83 μM.
