Three new nonsteroidal progesterone receptor ligands, PF1092A, B and C, have been isolated from Penicillium oblatum. They were purified from the solid cultures of rice media using ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies, and crystallization. All three ligands competitively inhibited [3H]-progesterone binding to porcine uteri cytosol preparations with IG50 of 3.0×10 nM (PF1092A), 2.2×102 nM (PF1092B) and 2.2×103nM (PF1092C).
