چکیده
An extract of an unidentified green filamentous fungus isolated as an endophyte of the Canadian medicinal plant Geum macrophyllum exhibited significant antimycobacterial activity and a distinct 1H NMR profile. Bioassay guided fractionation indicated that the natural product phomopsolide A (1) was responsible for the distinguishing characteristics of the extract.
