A new compound 6-formamide-chetomin (1) together with chetomin (2) was isolated from solid fermentation products of the endophytic fungus Chaetomium sp. M336, which were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS experiments. The bioassay result showed that compound 1 had strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 6539 and Enterococcus faecalis with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.78 μg/mL; meanwhile it exhibited strong cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values of 21.6–27.1 nM against cell lines HeLa, SGC-7901 and A549.

Two new tetranorlabdane diterpenoids, named botryosphaerins G (1) and H (2), were isolated from the solid fermentation products of Botryosphaeria sp. P483 along with seven known tetranorlabdane diterpenes (3–9). Their structures were elucidated by extensive analysis, including 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS). Their absolute configuration was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses using the anomalous scattering of Cu Kα radiation. All of the isolated compounds were tested for activity against phytopathogenic fungi and nematodes. Compounds 2 and 3 showed antifungal activity and compound 2 showed weak nematicidal activity.
