Trichodones A–C ( 1 – 3 , resp.), three new sesquiterpenes, together with the two known cyclopeptides PF1022F and halobacillin ( 4 and 5 , resp.), have been isolated from the crude extract of the endophytic fungus Trichoderma asperellum Samuels, Lieckf. & Nirenberg residing in the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Panax notoginseng (Burkill ) F.H.Chen . The structures and configurations of compounds 1 – 3 were determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The relative configuration for 1 was determined by analysis of its pertinent coupling constants and NOESY correlations, whereas the absolute configuration of 1 was established by CD spectroscopy. Compounds 4 and 5 displayed antibacterial activities against Enterococcus faecium (CGMCC 1.2025) with IC 50 values of 7.30 and 5.24 μ m, and against Staphylococcus aureus COL (CGMCC 1.2465) with IC 50 values of 19.02 and 14.00 μ M , respectively.
