Three compounds, including a novel quinolizidine alkaloid, ochrocephalamine G (1), were isolated from Oxytropis ochrocephala. Structural elucidation was achieved through spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism. Biological assays showed that ochrocephalamine G (100 μM) inhibited HBsAg and HBeAg by 8.28% and 16.17%, respectively. Computational studies, including molecular docking and dynamics simulations, revealed its binding mode with HBV core protein, providing a solid foundation for developing O. ochrocephala as an anti-HBV therapeutic agent.

Aglaia pachyphylla is a species from the Aglaia genus (Meliaceae) and the chemical constituent has not been widely explored. A new cycloartane-type triterpenoid, pachyphyllanone (1), along with four known compounds (2-5) were isolated from Aglaia pachyphylla Miq. Furthermore, the structure of the new compound was elucidated by the interpretation of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D-NMR, as well as ECD and NMR calculations (DP4+ analysis). Compounds 1-5 showed cytotoxic activities against MCF-7 with IC50 values ranging from 160.74 to 299.75 μM.

Antimicrobial peptides are crucial components of the immune systems of both vertebrates and invertebrates. Here, defensins, the most studied class of antimicrobial molecules in arthropods were investigated in four coleopteran insect species: Harpalus rufipes (DeGeer, 1774), Mylabris quadripunctata (Linnaeus, 1767), Sphaeridium marginatum (Linnaeus, 1758), and Ocypus mus (Brullé, 1832). The peptides synthesized with over 95% purity and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated by MIC test method. As a result, it was determined that Mylabris quadripunctata defensin (MqDef) showed high antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA, whereas Sphaeridium marginatum (SmDef) and Harpalus rufipes (HrDef) defensins against Candida tropicalis.

Three previously undescribed coumarins (1–3) were obtained from the roots of Notopterygium incisum. Their chemical structures were elucidated using a variety of spectroscopic techniques and chemical calculations. The inhibitory effects of these new compounds on NO production and pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. Further studies revealed that compound 1 suppressed the expression of COX-2 and iNOS while also reduced ROS accumulation. Western blot analysis demonstrated that compound 1 could inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway by decreasing the levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Collectively, these findings suggest that compounds 1–3 exhibit promising anti-inflammatory properties.

In order to make more rational use of Flemingia Philippinensis, a systematic separation from the roots of F. philippinensis was performed in the current study. The investigation of chemical constituents resulted in the isolation of a rare prenylated isoflavone-quinone, fleminquinone A (1), together with four known analogues (2–5). Their structures were established by extensive physical and spectroscopic data analysis. Anti-inflammatory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide induced mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells RAW 264.7 model. Compound 1 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production and COX-2. Compound 1 also significantly affected the levels of inflammatory cytokines.

Looking for materials from Scutellaria baicalensis to improve oral inflammation and eliminate bad breath led to one new compound, 5,7,2′,5′-tetrahydroxy-6′-methoxyflavone (1) and 32 known ones. Among of them, 3 flavones (11, 17, 18), 2 dihydroflavones (23, 25), 2 flavone glucosides (30, 32), and a chalcone (26) could inhibit oral anaerobic bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum, Streptococcus mutans, and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Compounds 3, 14, 18 could inhibit oral bacterial Staphylococcus aureus. Compounds 5, 8, 13 and 21 exhibited strong inhibitory NO production. Additionally, 14 and 26 showed good COX-1/2 inhibitory effects. These results indicated S. baicalensis has potential oral health benefits.

Fuzheng Huayu recipe (FZHYR) is a Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of fibrosis. The effects of FZHYR on pulmonary fibrosis and macrophage polarization were investigated in vitro. FZHYR inhibited pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis and M2 polarization of macrophages in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (BPF) of rat model. Differentially expressed genes were screened by high-throughput mRNA sequencing and GSEA showed that oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) was correlated with BPF. FZHYR inhibited expressions of Ndufa2 and Ndufa6 in lung tissues of BPF rats. These findings suggest that OXPHOS pathway serves as a possible target for pulmonary fibrosis therapy by FZHYR.

Twelve monoterpene indole glycoalkaloids, comprising of three new ones, 19-epi-rhynchophylloside A (1), 7-epi-rhynchophylloside A (2), and 7-epi-anthocephalusine A (3), were isolated from the hook-bearing branches of Uncaria rhynchophylla. The structures and absolute configurations of 1–3 were elucidated by analysis of MS, NMR, ECD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction or TDDFT-ECD calculations. Glycoalkaloids 1 and 3 showed significant immunosuppressive activity against the proliferation of B lymphocyte induced by LPS with broad selective index.

Harmine is present in a variety of medicinal plants, and its effects on colon cancer cells remain unclear. Here, we found that harmine exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of colon cancer cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation levels of the FAK/AKT and ERK1/2/CREB. Furthermore, harmine also inhibited the migration of colon cancer cells and suppressed the expression levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, and VEGF. Additionally, harmine-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells by regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax. In conclusion, our findings suggest that harmine exerts a significant inhibitory effect on the development of colon cancer cells.
