Excelsione, a depsidone from an endophytic fungus isolated from the New Zealand endemic tree Knightia excelsa

J Nat Prod. 2007 Feb;70(2):310-1. doi: 10.1021/np060202u.

Abstract

A new tetracyclic depsidone, excelsione (1), was isolated from the extract of an unidentified fungal endophyte obtained from the New Zealand endemic tree Knightia excelsa. The structure was elucidated by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy.
