title: Structure elucidation and complete NMR spectral assignment of an unusual aromatic monacolin analog from Monascus purpureus-fermented rice.
abstract: One unusual aromatic monacolin analog, monacophenyl, was isolated from the ethanolic extract of Monascus purpureus-fermented rice. Its structure was completely and unambiguously assigned by one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY) and high-resolution ESI-MS spectrometry.
