Dihydroalterperylenol from endophytic fungus Alternaria semiverrucosa and its antitumour activity uncovered by transcriptome analysis, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations

Medicinal plants host a wide variety of endophytic fungi, which produce numerous secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities. This study identifies ten natural compounds isolated from the endophytic fungal strain Alternaria semiverrucosa, derived from Taxus wallichiana var. mairei.
