The potential of marine organisms to yield bioactive molecules is vast and largely unexplored. Significantly, certain bioactive compounds derived from the marine environment have already received approval as anticancer drugs1. Among the multitude of bioactive compounds found in marine organisms, anthraquinones represent a notable class of molecules, with over 200 structurally related compounds having been isolated from diverse species of marine fungi2. Danthron (1,8-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone) serves as an exemplary member of anthraquinones, possessing anti-tumoral and anti-angiogenic properties that have yet to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to comprehensively investigate and understand these specific properties.
