RESUMEN
Two new guaianolide sesquiterpenes, lanicepines A (1) and B (2), possessing unusual amino acid-derived substituents at C-13, were isolated from the flowering aerial parts of Saussurea laniceps, a traditional herbal medicine also known as "snow lotus". The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated based on spectroscopic analysis including applications of the modified Mosher's method and Marfey's method as well as ECD calculations. Lanicepine A (1) contains a dihydropyridinone moiety with a carbamoyl and a hydroxymethyl group. This substituent was considered to consist of asparagine and a C4 unit. In contrast, lanicepine B (2) has a substituent that seems to be derived from l-proline and a C4 unit. Lanicepines A (1) and B (2) and two related known sesquiterpenes isolated from the same plant material, 11ß,13-dihydrodesacylcynaropicrin (3) and 11ß,13-dihydrodesacylcynaropicrin 8-O-ß-d-glucoside (4), demonstrated inhibitory activity against IL-1ß production from LPS-stimulated microglial cells.

Fourteen sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the whole plant of Carpesium abrotanoides L. Their structures were determined on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. All compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity, and compound 6 showed the strongest activity (IC50 2.73 - 7.21 µM) against five human cancer cell lines, including A549, HepG2, HCT116, MDA-MB-231, and CNE2. Compound 6 was further investigated. Compound 6 effectively induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner, which further led to apoptosis in cancer cells. Interestingly, compounds 1 and 6 could also activate protective autophagy, which was reported for the first time in sesquiterpene isolated from Carpesium abrotanoides. In addition, compounds 1 and 6 could induce lysosomal biogenesis by 173.2% and 163.7%, respectively. In sum, sesquiterpene lactones from Carpesium abrotanoides could induce apoptosis and protective autophagy in cancer cells, which provide a serial of compounds with potential clinical applications.

Two new C21 steroidal glycosides, paniculatumosides H and I, together with four known ones were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum paniculatum (Bge.) Kitag. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. All compounds were subjected to detect the anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activities and their cytotoxities against three human tumor cell lines (SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231 and A549). The results showed that compounds 1 and 5 exhibited potent protective activities against TMV, while 2, 4 and 6 had moderate effects on the SMMC-7721 cancer cells viability.
RESUMEN
Fifteen known amaryllidaceae alkaloids were isolated from the bulbs of Lycoris radiata. Some of the compounds and lycoricidine derivatives had been screened for the activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) by the conventional half-leaf method. Lycoricidine derivatives were also carried out the assay of effect on systemic infection of TMV by western-blot and RT-PCR analysis. The tested compounds showed moderate inactivation effect, whereas the lycoricidine derivatives showed good protective effect. The protective inhibitory activity of compounds L1 (N-methyl-2,3,4-trimethoxylycoricidine) (60.8%) and L3 (N-methyl-2-methoxy-3,4-acetonidelycoricidine) (62.0%) was almost similar to the positive control, Ningnanmycin (66.4%). RT-PCR and Western-blot analysis displayed that compounds L1, L3, L5 (N-allyl-2,3,4-triallyloxylycoricidine) exhibited antiviral activity, which was evidenced by reducing TMV-CP gene replication and TMV-CP protein expression. Additionally, defensive enzyme activities confirmed that compound L1 could increase the activity of PAL, POD, SOD to improve disease resistance of tobacco.

The phytochemical study of Euphorbia resinifera afforded 18 structurally diverse diterpenoids, including 14 new ingol-type diterpenoids, euphorblins A-N (1-14), a new rhamnofolane diterpenoid, euphorblin O (15), and three known analogues (16-18). The structures of these compounds were deduced using 2D NMR spectroscopy and NOE experiments. The structure of compound 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The abilities of the compounds to enhance lysosomal biosynthesis were evaluated through LysoTracker Red staining. Among the 10 active compounds, compounds 2, 4, and 18 showed remarkable immunofluorescence strength, and their LysoTracker staining intensities were 155.9%, 143.5%, and 140.7%, respectively, greater than that of the control. A series of lysosomal genes were also found to be upregulated by these compounds, which further confirms their ability to induce lysosome biosynthesis and suggests that these diterpenoids have potential as lead compounds for the development of drugs for the treatment of lysosome-related diseases.

Rare ent-abietane-rosane diterpenoid heterodimers, Bisebracteolasins A and B (1 and 2, respectively), were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated from spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic effects against five cancer cell lines. Compound 1 showed more effective antiproliferative activities against human tumour cells, HL-60 and SMMC-7721, with IC50 values of 2.61 and 4.08 µM, respectively, than 2. Both compounds 1 and 2 inhibit the colorectal cancer stem cell line P6C with IC50 values of 16.48 and 34.76 µM, respectively. Moreover, preliminary biological tests showed compound 1 exhibited inhibitory activity towards tumoursphere formation and migration of the P6C cell line. Overall, we identified two novel diterpenoid heterodimers, and Bisebracteolasin A exhibits therapeutic potential in impeding tumour growth and metastatic ability of cancer stem cells.

Investigation of the alkaloids from Myrioneuron faberi, a plant unique to China, gave four pairs of enantiomers (1-4). (±)-ß-Myrifabral A (1) and (±)-α-myrifabral A (2) formed an inseparable mixture of anomers (cluster A), as did (±)-ß-myrifabral B (3) and (±)-α-myrifabral B (4) (cluster B). Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction and NMR analysis. Compounds 1-4 possessed novel cyclohexane-fused octahydroquinolizine skeletons and represent the first quinolizidine alkaloids from the genus Myrioneuron. The epimers of cluster A (1 and 2) were modified and separated. In vitro, clusters A and B and their derivatives inhibited replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV, IC50 0.9 to 4.7 µM) with cytotoxicity lower than that of telaprevir.
