Key points

  • Two new diketopiperazines, namely samsoniellain A (1) and samsoniellain B (2), together with two known compounds (3, 4) were isolated from Cordyceps fungus Samsoniella sp
  • The planar structures of 1 and 2 were determined by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy
  • The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by comparison of quantum chemical TDDFT calculated and experimental ECD spectra
  • Results of antimicrobial activity indicated that compound 2 showed weak bacteriostatic activities against S. typhimurium χ 8956, H. influenza ATCC 10211, MRSA 2024 with the MIC values of 128, 256, and 256 μg ml -1, respectively
  • This is the first report about secondary metabolites of Samsoniella sp
