Two novel labdane‐type diterpenoids, butanedioic acid mono[(13 S )‐13‐hydroxylabda‐8(17),14‐dien‐19‐yl] ester ( 1 ) and butanedioic acid bis[(13 S )‐13‐hydroxylabda‐8(17),14‐dien‐19‐yl] ester ( 2 ), along with the eleven known diterpenoids 3 – 13 and three other known compounds, were isolated from the bark of Larix chinensis. Their structures were elucidated both spectroscopically and chemically. The major diterpenoids 1 – 9, 11 , and 13 , as well as the very abundant phenolic compound 16 , were subjected to antibacterial and cytotoxic bioassays. Compounds 7 and 9 showed remarkable in vitro inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis ( MIC =37–73 μ M ).
