Two novel sesquiterpene derivatives, dendocarbin B (1), bisaborosaol C (2), and nine known compounds (3-11), were isolated from Nigrospora chinensis GGY-3 derived from Ilex cornuta. The structures of new compounds were elucidated using HR-ESI-MS, 1 D and 2 D NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction analysis as well as ECD calculation and comparison. Compound 1 showed moderate antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea. Compounds 5 and 6 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Phytophthora capsici, Magnaporthe oryzae and R. solani with EC50 values ranging from 13.91 to 29.49 μg/mL. Compounds 10 and 11 displayed moderate antibacterial effects on Bacillus subtilis and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), with MIC values of 16-64 μg/mL. Particularly, 11 presented strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 4 μg/mL (2 μg/mL for streptomycin sulfate). In addition, compound 11 also possessed DPPH radical scavenging capability with an IC50 value of 14.80 μg/mL.
