Abstract

Retraction Statement: Ramalingam Parthasarathy, Damodaran Sruthi and Chelliah Jayabaskaran, “Isolation and purifications of an ambuic acid derivative compound from marine algal endophytic fungi Talaromyces flavus that induces apoptosis in MDA‐MB‐231 cancer cells”, Chemical Biology and Drug Design 2023, (https://doi.org/10.1111/cbdd.14271). The above article, published online on 29 May, 2023 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor in Chief Roberta Melander, and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to a lack of reproducible results for the purification and characterization of the compound and its anticancer activity demonstrated in Figures 9‐17 and Table 1 when experiments were repeated. As a result, the data and the conclusions of the article are considered unreliable. In addition, the following authorship contributions statement has been included by request of all authors: Author Contributions: R. Parthasarathy: investigation and methodology, writing review and editing original draft, conceptualization; D. Sruthi: review and editing draft; C. Jayabaskaran: Supervision
