RESUMEN
The first phytochemical investigation of the twig extract of Uvaria leptopoda resulted in the isolation and identification of three new tetrahydroxanthene-1,3(2H)-diones, uvarialeptones A-C, two new oxidized hexadiene derivatives, uvarialeptols A and B, together with ten known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry. Uvarialeptones A and B were unprecedented tetrahydroxanthene-1,3(2H)-dione dimers which exhibited a cyclobutane ring via [2 + 2] cycloaddition from uvarialeptone C and 9a-O-methyloxymitrone, respectively. The structure of uvarialeptone A was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis using Mo Kα radiation. Compound 3 inhibited NO production at an IC50 value of 6.7 ± 0.1 µM.

Phytochemical investigations of the twig and leaf extracts of Uvaria dac Pierre ex Finet & Gagnep. resulted in the isolation and identification of five new highly oxygenated cyclohexenes, uvaridacols M - Q (1-3, 5, and 6), and six known compounds (4 and 7-11). All new structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and HRESITOFMS data. The absolute configuration of 1, 5, and 6 was confirmed by single X-ray diffraction analysis with Cu Kα radiation. In contrast, other compounds were established by comparing their specific rotation and ECD spectra with those of known compounds. Some of the isolated compounds with sufficient quantity were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Of these, (-)-1,6-desoxypipoxide (10) showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 28.6 µM. The in silico molecular docking of active compounds was also studied.

Three previously undescribed aporphine alkaloids, phaeanthuslucidines E-G, one previously undescribed naphthoquinone derivative, phaeanthusnaphthoquinone, and three known compounds were isolated from an EtOAc extract of the leaves of Phaeanthus lucidus Oliv. The structures of all previously undescribed compounds were established through extensive spectroscopic investigations and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. The 6aR configuration of phaeanthuslucidines E-G was assigned by comparing their ECD spectra and specific rotation values with the reported known compounds. Some isolated compounds were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Among these compounds, phaeanthuslucidine E showed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 17.9 ± 0.4 µM. The molecular docking of phaeanthuslucidine E was further studied.
