Two new diphenyl ethers (1 and 2) were isolated from the fermentation products of an endophytic fungus Phomopsis asparagi. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (anti-MRSA) activity. The results revealed that compounds 1 and 2 showed good inhibition with IZD 10.8 ± 2.0 and 11.4 ± 1.8 mm, respectively.
