A new isochroman analogue, named monascuspilorin (1), was obtained from the n-BuOH-soluble fraction of the 95% EtOH extract of red mold rice fermented with the fungus Monascus pilosus BCRC 38072 (Eurotiaceae). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, especially HR-ESI-MS and NMR experiments.
