Seven new metabolites, including three sesquiterpenoids, 10‐hydroxythujopsene ( 1 ), akotriol ( 2 ), and xylaritriol ( 3 ), one diterpenoid, cubentriol ( 4 ), one aliphatic derivative, akoenic acid ( 5 ), one alkaloid, akodionine ( 6 ), and one isocoumarin, akolitserin ( 7 ), together with seven known compounds, 8 – 14 , were isolated from the AcOEt‐soluble fraction of the fermentation broth of the endophytic fungus Xylaria cubensis , derived from the leaves of Litsea akoensis Hayata (Lauraceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR experiments, and by HR‐ESI‐MS mass spectrometry. Among the isolates, (−)‐( R )‐7‐hydroxymellein showed IL‐6 inhibitory activity with an IC 50 value of 9.41 μ M .
