There has been no phytochemical or and pharmacological report of the Chinese endemic plant Ophiorrhiza puffii till now. At present, seven structurally diverse compounds were obtained, including six triterpenoids (1–6) and one anthraquinone (7). Interestingly, 1–6 furnished three distinct carbon skeletons. Additionally, these phytochemical constituents showed multiple health-promoting effects. Triterpene 3 displayed considerable tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 5.42 μM). Components 4 and 5 demonstrated significant antioxidant activity (IC50 = 4.23 and 2.03 mM, respectively). Meanwhile, compounds 2 and 5 exhibited moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.89 and 0.72 mM, respectively). Moreover, the binding mechanisms for bioactive compounds 2, 3 and 5 and the corresponding α-glucosidase and tyrosinase proteins were preliminarily inspected by molecular docking experiments. This study filled up the knowledge gap of the unexplored chemical and biological profiles of secondary metabolites from the plant O. puffii for the first time.

Cucumis melo var. agrestis (Naudin) is an important wild crop that belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. Fruits possess digestive, stomachic, vermifuge and febrifuge properties and possess analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Current research is aimed at screening diverse phytoconstituents present in the fruit extract of wild melon (C. melo var. agrestis) with the technique of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Our outcomes showed that fruit extract of C. melo var. agrestis has various phytochemicals such as glycosides, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, proteins, amino acids and carbohydrates. HPLC analysis revealed that naringenin and catechin were reported to have the highest concentrations among the all studied accessions. PCA and HCA multivariant analysis showed that, first two principal components, i.e. PC1 and PC2 contributed to 54.87% of the variation, where maximum loadings were from apigenin, trailed by gallic acid, rutin, and catechol.

Scientific research has identified lariciresinol among lignan types, which shows potential against cancer development and bacterial infections in addition to serving as an antioxidant that affects oestrogen activity while blocking inflammation. The review analyses the detailed medical and biological properties of lariciresinol. The two Brassicaceae plant genera Isatis indigotica and Brassica oleracea contain this substance, which exists in various plant types. The compound demonstrated anticancer properties through its mechanisms of stopping cancer cell multiplication and triggering programmed cell death. Recent research found that lariciresinol can block the function of the virus that causes COVID-19 by reducing its ability to enter the cells and proliferate. Lariciresinol antiviral actions have been shown to reduce RNA and viral protein production. The diverse impacts indicate that lariciresinol is a potential compound for novel health solutions and future therapeutic innovations.

Two previously undescribed triterpenoids, herpetosin A (1) and herpetosin B (2), together with two known compounds, cucurbitacin B (3) and dihydrocucurbitacin E (4), were isolated from the seeds of Herpetospermum pedunculosum. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of the NMR, HR-ESI-MS, X-ray data and quantum chemical calculation. Compound 1 featured an unprecedented nor-cucurbitane triterpenoid skeleton with a 5/6/6/5 ring system. Among all the isolates, compound 4 exhibited anti-proliferative effect with IC50 values of 4.5 ± 0.1 μM against A549 cells, 8.2 ± 0.5 μM against MDA-MB-231 cells, and 2.4 ± 0.3 μM against HepG2 cells, respectively.

One new isoflavone, 6′-dihydroxy-2-methyl-2′-methoxyl-3′-acetylisoflavone (1) and six known compounds (2−7) were isolated from the processed root barks of Paeonia suffruticosa. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using UV, IR, NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. Compound 1 represents the first example of naturally occurring 2-substituted isoflavone. Compounds 2−7 were isolated from the processed root barks of P. suffruticosa for the first time. In addition, all of the compounds were screened for their procoagulant activity. As a result, compounds 4, 6, and 7 showed significantly in vitro procoagulant activity.

Chemical investigation of Streptomyces parvulus A-30, isolated from the mangrove plant Rhizophora apiculata rhizosphere soil resulted in the isolation of an optically new metabolite (R)-N-(5-amino-2-hydroxy-1-oxopentyl)-tyrosine (2), and seven known metabolites, including actinomycin D (1), (S)-2-methylhexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione (3), uracil (4), N-acetyltyramine (5), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (6), diorcinol (7), and 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (8). Amongst, actinomycin D (1) was found to be a major component (1 g, 5.13%) and compound 3 was isolated as a natural product for the first time. Their structures were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data and comparison with the data of literature. All compounds isolated were subjected to immunosuppressive and cytotoxic activities evaluation. Compound 1 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against HepG-2 and Hela with IC50 values of 2.62 ± 0.22 and 0.37 ± 0.88 µM, respectively, indicating it is principally responsible for the significant total cytotoxic effect of S. parvulus A-30.

Merremia hirta Merr. is a plant belonging to the Convolvulaceae family, commonly used as a vegetable in Southeast Asia. The plant harbours diverse bioactive constituents, including polyphenols and flavonoids. Microgreens have gained popularity as a cultivation trend. They are referred to as superfoods due to their high bioactive content, which is estimated to be up to 10 times greater than mature plants. M. hirta Merr. microgreen and mature plant were investigated to determine their total phenol content using the Folin Ciocalteu method, total flavonoid content using AlCl3, antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power, and anti-inflammatory activity by protein denaturation inhibition in vitro. Microgreen demonstrated greater total phenolic content, directly associated with its high antioxidant activity compared to mature plants. However, the mature stage of M. hirta Merr. remains superior in terms of overall flavonoid content and anti-inflammatory activity.
Merremia hirta Merr.是一种属于旋花科的植物,在东南亚通常被用作蔬菜。该植物含有多种生物活性成分,包括多酚和类黄酮。作为一种种植趋势,微型蔬菜越来越受欢迎。它们被称为超级食品,因为其生物活性含量很高,估计是成熟植物的 10 倍。研究人员用 Folin Ciocalteu 法检测了 M. hirta Merr. 微绿和成熟植株的总酚含量,用 AlCl3 法检测了总黄酮含量,用 2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼和铁还原抗氧化力检测了抗氧化活性,用体外蛋白质变性抑制法检测了抗炎活性。与成熟植株相比,小绿叶表现出更高的总酚含量,这与其高抗氧化活性直接相关。不过,就总体类黄酮含量和抗炎活性而言,成熟期的 M. hirta Merr. 仍然更胜一筹。

Cassia nomame, an annual herb belonging to the Leguminosae family, is traditionally consumed as tea in the form of dried whole herbs or beans. To deepen our understanding of the chemical constituents of C. nomame, we isolated 16 compounds, categorised as flavone derivatives (1–4), including a novel compound nomameflavone A (4), a chalcone derivative (5), an aurone derivative (6), a chromone derivative (7), a juglone derivative (8), anthraquinone derivatives (9–11), phenolic compounds (12–14), and sterol derivatives (15, 16). The structure of each compound was elucidated using NMR and MS. Compounds 2, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 14 were successfully isolated from C. nomame for the first time. Furthermore, compounds 1, 3, 5, and 6 exhibited DPPH radical scavenging activities, and the bioactivity of 3 was discovered. The elucidation of the diverse chemical constituents of C. nomame underscores its potential functional ingredients.

A new aglycone derivative (1) and five known compounds (2–6) have been isolated from a saprophytic fungus Tubeufia rubra for the first time. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, high resolution mass spectrometry data and electronic circular dichroism. The bioactivities of all compounds were evaluated by cell analysis. Compound 5 showed significant toxicity to human cancer A549 cells, and the IC50 value was 32. 89 μg/mL. Compound 6 could reverse the multidrug resistance of A549/DDP cells, and the reversal value was 2.92. With the extension of the action time, the IC50 value of compound 6 decreased from 424.72 μg/mL at 24 h to 9.45 μg/mL at 72 h.
