A new fungus‐derived benzodiazepine analogue, 2‐hydroxycircumdatin C ( 1 ), and a compound which has been isolated from a natural resource for the first time, but has been previously synthesized, namely (11a S )‐2,3‐dihydro‐7‐methoxy‐1 H ‐pyrrolo[2,1‐ c ][1,4]benzodiazepine‐5,11(10 H ,11a H )‐dione ( 2 ), along with five structurally related known alkaloids ( 3 – 7 ), were isolated from Aspergillus ochraceus , an endophytic fungus derived from the marine brown alga Sargassum kjellmanianum. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined through CD evidence. Compound 1 displayed significant DPPH radical‐scavenging activity with an IC 50 value of 9.9 μ M , which is 8.9‐fold more potent than that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a well‐known synthetic positive control.
