RESUMO
This paper aimed to study the chemical constituents from Clitocybe clavipes. Silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, and semi-p reparative HPLC were employed to separate the ethanol extract of C. clavipes. Six compounds were identified by ~1H-NMR, ~(13)CNMR,and ESI-MS as clavilactone L(1), clavilactone A(2), clavilactone B(3), clavilactone E(4), clavilactone H(5), and clav ilactone I(6). Among them, compound 1 was a new meroterpenoid with a 10-membered carbocycle connected to a hydroquinone. Theantitumor activities of compounds 1-6 were determined by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) ass ay. The results showed that compounds 1-6 exerted inhibitory effects on the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells(MGC-803),human non-small cell lung cancer cells(A549), and cervical cancer cells(HeLa). Compound 1 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against MGC-803 cells, with the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC_(50)) of 11. 76 µmol·L~(-1).

This study aimed to investigate the chemical constituents of supercritical extract from Qi-nan Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum by silica gel column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. One new elemane-type and one new eudesmane-type sesquiterpene compounds were isolated from the extract, and their structures were identified by MS, UV, IR, NMR, and ECD spectroscopic techniques, and named aquqinanol C(1) and aquqinanol D(2). Both compounds are novel compounds. The neuroprotective effect of the compounds on CORT-induced PC12 cell damage was determined in vitro. The results showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited a certain protective effect against CORT-induced damage in PC12 cells.

Eight new cadinane sesquiterpenoids (1-8), along with two known compounds (9 and 10), were isolated from infected stems of the semi-mangrove plant, Hibiscus tiliaceus. The structures of compounds 1-8 were elucidated through the analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR and MS data, and their absolute configurations were determined by comparing their experimental and calculated ECD spectra and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two confused known compounds (9 and 10) were resolved using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1-3 have novel norsesquiterpene carbon skeletons arising from a ring contraction rearrangement. All obtained isolates were evaluated against the HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines, and compounds 1b, 2b, 4, 6, and 8 showed cytotoxic activity toward both cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 3.5 to 6.8 µM.

Three new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid dimeric diastereomers (1-3) named hibisceusones A-C were obtained from the infected stems of Hibiscus tiliaceus. The structures were determined by NMR spectroscopy and MS techniques, and the absolute configurations were assigned by ECD and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Compounds 1-3 are diastereomers, and contain a 1,4-dioxane ring linearly fused to different cadinane-type polycyclic skeletons. This is the first time that such a structure has been identified in natural products. Compounds 1-3 exhibited cytotoxic activities, and 2 showed a significantly high anti-triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) effect. The anti-cancer effect of compound 2 was 3-4 fold higher than that of 1 and 3. The anti-cancer effect was generated via the induction of the apoptosis of the MDA-MB-231 cells by inhibiting the PI3Kα pathway.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent, lethal, and aggressive tumor of the central nervous system in adults. In this study, we found for the first time that moschamindole (MCD), a rare phenolic amide with 8/6/6/5/5 rings, is a major bioactive constituent derived from Phragmites communis Trin (Poaceae) that exhibits a potential cytotoxic effect on both TMZ-resistant GBM cell lines and xenograft models. MCD-induced intrinsic apoptosis signals and mitochondrial dysfunction were confirmed by cell cycle arrest, caspase-3/7 activation, and membrane potential depolarization. Furthermore, investigations exploring the mechanism showed that MCD specifically inhibits Mia40-mediated oxidative folding of mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) proteins via PCR assay and immunoblot analysis. MCD relies on its positive charge to associate with mitochondrial oxidative respiration, thus blocking energy metabolism and inducing apoptosis. Overexpression and upregulation of Mia40 were proven to reverse MCD-induced apoptosis and were correlated with the chemoresistance of GBM in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Taken together, our study demonstrates that Mia40 is a potential target of the chemoresistance of glioblastoma and suggests that MCD might be a potential agent for the individualized treatment of chemoresistant GBM based on mitochondrial metabolic characteristics and Mia40 expression.

The genus Maytenus is a member of the Celastraceae family, of which several species have long been used in traditional medicine. Between 1976 and 2021, nearly 270 new compounds have been isolated and elucidated from the genus Maytenus. Among these, maytansine and its homologues are extremely rare in nature. Owing to its unique skeleton and remarkable bioactivities, maytansine has attracted many synthetic endeavors in order to construct its core structure. In this paper, the current status of the past 45 years of research on Maytenus, with respect to its chemical and biological activities are discussed. The chemical research includes its structural classification into triterpenoids, sesquiterpenes and alkaloids, along with several chemical synthesis methods of maytansine or maytansine fragments. The biological activity research includes activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, as well as HIV inhibition, which can provide a theoretical basis for the better development and utilization of the Maytenus.

Nitrogenous sesquiterpenoids fromnatural sourcesare rare, so unsurprisingly neither the potentially valuable bioactivity nor thebroad structural diversity of nitrogenous sesquiterpenoids has been reviewed before. This report covers the progressduring the decade from 2010 to February 2020 on the isolation, identification, and bioactivity of 391 nitrogen-containing natural sesquiterpenes from terrestrial plant, marine organisms, and microorganisms. This complete and in-depth reviewshouldbe helpful for discovering and developing new drugs of medicinal valuerelated to natural nitrogenous sesquiterpenoids.

Natural daphnane diterpenoids, mainly distributed in plants of the Thymelaeaceae and Euphorbiaceae families, usually include a 5/7/6-tricyclic ring system with poly-hydroxyl groups located at C-3, C-4, C-5, C-9, C-13, C-14, or C-20, while some special types have a characteristic orthoester motif triaxially connectedat C-9, C-13, and C-14. The daphnane-type diterpenoids can be classified into five types: 6-epoxy daphnane diterpenoids, resiniferonoids, genkwanines, 1-alkyldaphnanes and rediocides, based on the oxygen-containing functions at rings B and C, as well as the substitution pattern of ring A. Up to now, nearly 200 daphnane-type diterpenoids have been isolated and elucidated from the Thymelaeaceae and Euphorbiaceae families. In-vitro and in-vivo experiments of these compounds have shown that they possess a wide range of biological activities, including anti-HIV, anti-cancer, anti-leukemic, neurotrophic, pesticidal and cytotoxic effects. A comprehensive account of the structural diversity is given in this review, along with the cytotoxic activities of daphnane-type diterpenoids, up to April 2019.

Plant-derived natural products have been the highly significant sources of novel antitumor agents. The cassane-type diterpenes of genus Caesalpinia have been reported to bear antiproliferative activities toward different types of cancer cells. In this study, we evaluated the antineoplasmic activities of 16 natural origin cassane-type diterpenes isolated from the CHCl3 extract of the seeds of C. minax in pituitary adenomas cells and identified caesalpin G (CAG) showed the strongest cytotoxicity. Moreover, we further investigated the structure-activity relationship and molecular mechanism of these derivatives systematically. The results confirmed the unsaturated lactone-type ring, hydroxyl at C-7, and alkenyl at C-11 or C-14 functionality as critical for anticancer activity in this family of natural products. In addition, the mechanism experiments also demonstrated unfolded protein response and ER stress and Wnt/ß-catenin pathway were involved in the CAG-induced apoptosis.
