RESUMEN
The genus of Ainsliaea embraces approximately 70 recognized species, many of which have been used to treat various diseases in folklore medicines. As the main metabolites of Ainsliaea plants, Ainsliaea sesquiterpenoids have drawn considerable attention in related scientific communities due to their intriguing structures and a variety of bioactivities. In this review, we intend to provide a full-aspect coverage of sesquiterpenoids reported from the genus of Ainsliaea, including 145 monomeric sesquiterpenoids and 30 oligomeric ones. Multiple aspects will be summarized, including their classification, distributions, structures, bioactivities, and biomimetic syntheses. In addition, their possible biosynthetic pathway will be discussed in detail.

This is the first phytochemical investigation of Schisandra tomentella A. C. Smith. 11 lignans and 8 sesquiterpenoids, were isolated from the stems of S. tomentella, including two undescribed lignans, tomentaschinins A-B (1-2), and two new sesquiterpenoids, tomentaschinnes A-B (3-4). Their structures were elucidated based on the interpretation of their spectroscopic data. Cytotoxicity and MDR reversal effect of these compounds were screened on multidrug resistance cancer cell line MCF-7/ADR, and results showed gomisin M2 (7) could promote the efficacy of adriamycin against MCF-7/ADR.

Three new sesquiterpenoids, salplebeones A - C (1 - 3), were isolated from the ethanol-soluble extract of the aerial part of Salvia plebeia R. Br. Their structures were established by detailed analysis of NMR and MS spectra. Salplebeone A was an eudesmane lactone, while salplebeones B and C were rare eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, containing 12,8-lactam groups. Antiproliferative activities of salplebeones A - C to myeloid leukemia cell lines were evaluated.

This review covers the isolation, structural determination, biological activities and biomimetic synthesis of all natural dimeric sesquiterpenoids, along with a detailed discussion of the biogenesis of these metabolites. Syntheses leading to the revision of structures have also been included, and 368 references are cited.
