title: Bisanthraquinone metabolites produced by the endophytic fungus Diaporthe sp.
abstract: Two bisanthraquinones named (+)-epicytoskyrin (1) and (+)-1,1'-bislunatin (2) were produced by the endophytic fungus from a tea plant, which is a species closely related to Diaporthe phaseolorum strain sw-93-13. The chemical structures of the metabolites were elucidated on the basis of the physicochemical properties including the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum.
