        <label>Abstract</label>
        <p>The genus <italic>Xylaria</italic> is a promising source of bioactive compounds. This study explored the diversity of secondary metabolites (SMs) in <italic>Xylaria longipes</italic> under three fermentation conditions, isolating 14 new SMs and 27 known ones. The structures were elucidated using NMR, HRESIMS, ROESY, and J-based configuration analysis, with absolute configurations determined through calculated ECD and <sup>13</sup>C NMR data. A comprehensive library of SMs was constructed, facilitating metabolomics-wide association studies that identified culture conditions as a critical factor influencing SM production. This compound library also simplifies the determination of absolute configurations for diplosporins by analyzing J values and CD trends. Anti-proliferative assays against induced T/B lymphocytes and HaCaT cells revealed that more than half of the compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity, with compounds <strong>2</strong>, <strong>15</strong>, and <strong>32</strong> reducing IFN-γ secretion. Compound 32 showed promising anti-psoriatic effects by inhibiting NF-κB p65 phosphorylation in HaCaT cells. This first systematic chemical study of X. longipes under varied conditions provides insights into structure-activity relationships.</p>
