Clusia is one of the most important genera of the Clusiaceae family, comprising up to 400 species. This review describes the identification of twenty-two flavonoids from Clusia species, which includes five flavonols (1-4 and 11), six flavones (5-10), one catechin (12), one flavanone (13), and nine biflavonoids (14-22). O- and C-glycosylation are frequently observed amongst these flavonoids. Furthermore, seven biphenyls (23-29) and nine xanthones (30-38) have been isolated from Clusia species. Biphenyls and xanthones show limited occurrence within the genus, but together with biosynthetic insights, they might offer important chemophenetics leads for the consolidation of the genus Clusia within the Clusiaceae family. Altogether, this work provides an overview of the chemistry of the genus Clusia in terms of flavonoids, biphenyls and xanthones, as well as it discusses biological activities and chemophenetics of the isolated compounds, when appropriate.

While natural products have undoubtedly played a pivotal role in drug discovery, their potential as lead compounds has been hindered by challenges such as limited accessibility and complex synthesis processes. At the core of numerous natural and synthetic compounds, each exhibiting remarkable biological traits, lies the foundational structure of 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone, also known as 2-oxo-tetrahydroquinoline (2 O-THQ). This article extensively examines the occurrence of 2 O-THQ alkaloids across the plant kingdom, exploring their capacity to serve as a source for innovative bioactive natural products. Despite the undeniable significance of these compounds, the existing body of review literature has yet to provide comprehensive coverage, underscoring the pivotal contribution of this present article in investigating their prevalence in nature.

Formononetin as a Bax agonist exhibits anticancer effects. To identify novel Bax agonist, 18 new structurally modified formononetin derivatives were synthesised and their anticancer activities were evaluated in the A549 and Beas-2b cell lines. The results indicated that 7a elicited the most potent inhibitory effect against the A549 cell line, with an IC50 value of 0.87 μM, and no obvious toxicity to Beas-2b cells. These results indicated that 7a was 40-fold and 6.94-fold more efficacious than Formononetin and Doxorubicin, respectively. Additionally, western blot and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that 7a downregulated the protein expression of Bcl-2 and upregulated the expressions of Bax to promote A549 apoptosis, the obtained results also suggested that 7a had the potential to be developed into a lead compound that can be applied in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

This research aims to explore the saponins composition of H. nepalensis in four northwest mountainous areas of Vietnam including Ha Giang, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, and Lang Son with the aid of high-resolution mass spectrometry. As a result, 42 saponins are successfully identified in H. nepalensis leaves by UHPLC‐Q‐TOF-MS/MS analyses, in which two 30-noroleanane and four oleanane triterpene saponins structures have been reported for the first time. Two structures of compound 20 were discovered in four samples. Two structures of compound 8 were found in H. nepalensis from Ha Giang and Lao Cai, while two structures of compound 28 were not observed in Lang Son. Different environmental and climatic circumstances in various places may have an impact on chemical constituents of H. nepalensis. By providing the phytochemicals profile of H. nepalensis leaves, our study supports the orientation for future research on this medicinal plant as well as other Hedera species.

Four isoprenylated flavonols, including two new compounds, macainermisins A-B (1-2), and two known compounds, sinoflavonoid P (3), broussoflavonol F (4), were isolated from the leaves of Macaranga inermis. A combination of HRESIMS, UV, 1D, and 2D NMR spectra elucidated the structures of 1-2. Flavonols (1-4) were evaluated against three cancer cells. Compound 1 showed high cytotoxicity against WiDR with an IC50 value of 0.93 µM, and compound 2 was active towards HeLa and WiDR (IC50 values of 0.90 and 0.94 µM), and compound 3 showed high activity towards 4T1 and HeLa (IC50 values of 0.83 and 0.98 µM).

This study investigated the effects of supplemental ultraviolet-A (UV-A) radiation on phenolic compounds, antioxidant properties, and agro-morphological characteristics of Rosmarinus officinalis L. Greenhouse plants were exposed to UV-A for 1, 2, and 4 h daily, 40 days. Based on the results, UV-A radiation had no significant effect on agro-morphological traits, while it remarkably altered chlorophyll content, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, as well as radical scavenging activity. Plants exposed to UV-A (4h) had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant activity, as well as the content of rosmarinic, carnosic, vanillic, and caffeic acids, and naringin. Conversely, carnosol, cirsimaritin, and hispulin levels decreased in treated plants. Overall, UV-A radiation had a positive effect on the medicinal aspects of R. officinalis L., which is important in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, it is suggested application of UV-A emitting LEDs for commercial purposes, with a lower risk level than UV-B and UV-C.

Two new alkaloids, Aspera chaetominines A (1) and B (2), a new derivative (3) of terrein, and together with 11 known compounds (4–14) were isolated from marine sponge Callyspongia sp. -derived fungus Aspergillus versicolour SCSIO XWS04 F52, which was identified on the basis of morphology and ITS sequence analysis. The planar structures of 1–3 were determined by spectroscopic (1H, 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, and 1H-1H COSY), and MS analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed cytotoxic activity against leukaemia K562 and colon cancer cells SW1116 with IC50 7.5 to 12.5 μM, and also compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant protection against H1N1 virus-induced cytopathogenicity in MDCK cells with IC50 values of 15.5 and 24.5 μM, respectively.

Alkaloids are a group of secondary metabolites that generate great interest since ancient times. Numerous Solanaceae plants are rich sources of tropane alkaloids as hyoscyamine and scopolamine which are obtained mainly from Hyoscyamus niger, Datura stramonium, Atropa belladonna, Mandragora officinarum. In the present study it was developed an HPLC-DAD using an XBridge Phenyl column for the quantification of scopolamine and hyoscyamine, molecules used in pharmaceutical industry to treat stomach or intestinal disorders. A. belladonna presented hyoscyamine and scopolamine, the first one ranged from 1466 to 5117 mg/Kg DW while the second one ranged from 140 to 1743 mg/Kg DW. In D. stramonium, hyoscyamine was not found while scopolamine ranged from 430 to 8980 mg/Kg DW. On the contrary H. niger and M. officinarum did not contain any trace of these alkaloids. This is the first work in which different parts of four Solanaceae were analysed for their hyoscyamine and scopolamine content.
