RESUMO
Rugosiformisin A, a skeleton-rearranged abietane-type diterpenoid with a spiro[4.5]decane motif, was isolated from Isodon rugosiformis. Its structure was unambiguously established via NMR spectroscopic analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A bioinspired asymmetric synthesis of rugosiformisin A was achieved in 15 steps with 2.7% overall yield. The synthesis features an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric polyene cyclization and a semipinacol rearrangement.

Eleven undescribed schinortriterpenoids (SNTs) and one known analogue (12) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Schisandra henryi. Their diverse structures included preschisanartane (1), 18-norschiartane (2-5, 12), schiartane (6 and 7), and schisanartane (8-11) skeletons, which were elucidated by comprehensive NMR, MS, electronic circular dichroism analyses, single crystal X-ray diffraction and biogenetic considerations. 1 was the first case of preschisanartane-type SNT with six-membered lactone ring, and 2 was one of the most highly oxygenated 18-norschiartane SNTs. Three types of the highly oxygenated SNTs, 1, 4, 10 and 11, effectively prevent apoptosis induced by corticosterone in PC12 cells. In addition, 11 showed neurite outgrowth-promoting activity.

Six new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, isorugosiformins A-F (1-6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon rugosiformis Hand.-Mazz. Hara. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculation of NMR parameters. The absolute configuration of 5 as 6R was the first case in the known 6,7:8,15-diseco-7,20-olide-6,8-cyclo-ent-kaurane diterpenoids.

YinHuang drop pill (YHDP) is a new preparation, derived from the traditional YinHuang (YH) decoction. Since drop pills are one of the newly developed forms of Chinese patent drugs, not much research has been done regarding the quality and efficacy. This study aims to establish a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the chemical profile of YHDP. ultra high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to identify 34 non-sugar small molecules including 15 flavonoids, 9 phenolic acids, 5 saponins, 1 iridoid, and 4 iridoid glycosides in YHDP samples, and 26 of them were quantitatively determined. Sugar composition of YHDP in terms of fructose, glucose and sucrose was examined via a high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector on an amide column (HPLC-NH2P-ELSD). Macromolecules were examined by high performance gel permeation chromatography coupled with ELSD (HPGPC-ELSD). The content of the drop pill's skeleton component PEG-4000 was also quantified via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with charged aerosol detector (UHPLC-CAD). The results showed that up to 73% (w/w) of YHDP could be quantitatively determined. Small molecules accounted for approximately 5%, PEG-4000 represented 68%, while no sugars or macromolecules were found. Furthermore, YHDP showed no significant differences in terms of daily dosage, compared to YinHuang granules and YinHuang oral liquid; however, it has a higher small molecules content compared to YinHuang lozenge.
