Five new compounds, including two cyclopiane diterpenes conidiogenones J and K (1–2), a steroid andrastin H (5), an alkaloid (Z)-4-(5-acetoxy-N-hydroxy-3-methylpent-2-enamido) butanoate (6), and an aliphatic acid (Z)-5-acetoxy-3-methylpent-2-enoic acid (7), together with ten known compounds (3–4 and 8–15) were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the fermentation broth of the Lumnitzera littorea-derived fungus Penicillium oxalicum HLLG-13. Their structures were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS spectral analyses. The absolute configurations of 1, 2, 5, and 8 were determined by quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and the absolute configuration of 8 was determined for the first time. Compound 15 was a new natural product, and its NMR data were reported for the first time. Compounds 5 and 9–14 exhibited antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans, with MIC values ranging from 6.25 to 25 μg/ mL. Compounds 1–6 and 9–14 showed significant growth inhibition activities against newly hatched Helicoverpa armigera Hubner larvae, with IC50 values ranging from 50 to 200 μg/mL.
