Isolation and structure determination of a new indene derivative from endophytic fungus Aspergillus flavipes Y-62

As part of the search for naturally derived secondary metabolites, a novel indene derivative, compound 1, together with nine known metabolites (2–10) have been purified from an ethyl acetate extract of the plant-associated fungus Aspergillus flavipes Y-62, isolated from Suaeda glauca (Bunge) Bunge which was collected along Zhoushan coast, Zhejiang province, East China. The structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by extensive use of...
