Sixteen compounds, including two new natural products (1 and 2), were obtained from the twigs of Illicium angustisepalum. The structures were elucidated based on NMR, MS, IR data and optical rotation values. Compounds 4, 5, 6 and 8 displayed moderate antibacterial activities against clinical isolates; compounds 4, 5, 8, 9 and 15 protected neural cells against oxidative stress; and compounds 10 and 14 exhibited anti-acetylcholinesterase activity.
