RESUMO
Fourteen undescribed phloroglucinol-meroterpenoids, namely eucalypcamals A-N, were isolated from a CH2Cl2 extract of the leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. In addition, from the same extract, twelve known phloroglucinols, three known flavonoids, and four known phenolic compounds were also isolated. The structures of the undescribed compounds were analyzed by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS). The assignments of the absolute configurations were performed by comparing the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data with the calculated values. Eucalyprobusal E was found to be cytotoxic against HCT116, Jurkat, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC50 values of 17.6, 9.44, and 17.9 µM, respectively. Eucalrobusone F exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and S. aureus with minimum inhibitory concentration/minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC/MBC) values of 4/4 µg/mL while euglobal Ia1 showed antifungal activity with MIC/MFC values of 16/16 µg/mL.

A new lignan, thoreliin A (1), and a new bisnorlignan, thoreliin B (2), were isolated from a MeOH extract of the rhizomes of Boesenbergia thorelii. In addition, the known bisnorlignans 3 and 4, neolignan 5, phenylpropanoids 6-15, as well as benzenoids 18-21 were also obtained from the same source. The structures were elucidated based on their spectroscopic data. By single crystal X-ray analysis, the relative stereochemistry of 1 was confirmed. All isolated compounds were evaluated for anti-HIV-1 activities. Among them, thoreliin A (1) exhibited anti-HIV-1 activities on both HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (41.43% inhibition at 200⯵g/mL) and syncytium reduction assays (EC50 20.6⯵M, SI 3.7), while compounds 3-6, 9 and 11-21 showed anti-HIV-1 activity only in the anti-syncytium assay (EC50 6.6-454.1⯵M, SI >1.32-7.75).

Six new (1-6), together with seven known (7-13), trichothecenes were isolated from the soil-derived Trichoderma brevicompactum PSU-RSPG27. Their structures were established using spectroscopic data. The structure of 1 was confirmed by X-ray data. Trichodermin (7) exhibited the most potent activity against Plasmodium falciparum (K1 strain) with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM, while other trichothecenes (1, 8, 9, and 12) were much less active, with IC50 values in the range of 7.1-9.6 µM. Compound 7 displayed activity against noncancerous Vero cells with an IC50 value of 0.4 µM. The remaining compounds showed moderate to weak activity, with IC50 values in the range of 6.9-15.3 µM. Compounds 7 and 12 were active against human oral carcinoma (KB) cells with IC50 values of 2.4 and 3.7 µM, respectively. Additionally, compounds 7 and 12 displayed antifungal activity against Candida albicans with the respective MIC values of 1 and 2 µg/mL and were active against Cryptococcus neoformans with equal MIC values of 4 µg/mL.
