Discovery of New Secondary Metabolites by Epigenetic Regulation and NMR Comparison from the Plant Endophytic Fungus <i>Monosporascus eutypoides</i>

Overexpression of the histone acetyltransferase and the <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopic experiments of the endophytic fungus <i>Monosporascus eutypoides</i> resulted in the isolation of two new compounds, monosporasols A (<b>1</b>) and B (<b>2</b>), an...
