Penicillic acid is a mycotoxin that is produced by Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus ostianus and Penicillium roqueforti mold. It is not a product of acid degradation of penicillin.Biosynthesis of the compound has been stablished ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-52101-2 ).

Its first practical synthesis was reported in 1947 by Ralph Raphael, who had worked on penicillin during World War II.^[1]
