Chemical investigation on the secondary metabolites of Aspergillus aculeatus led to the identification of ten modified fusicoccane-type diterpenoids aculeanoids A–J (1–10). Their structures and absolute configurations were characterized by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, DP4+ analysis, Mo2(OAc)4-induced ECD, single-crystal X-ray diffractions, and ECD calculations. Compounds 1–4 belong to a rare class of 17-nor fusicoccane diterpenoids, with only one previously reported example. Biologically, compounds 6, 7, and 10 exhibited significant immunosuppressive activities against con A-induced T cell proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 2.44 to 5.26 μM and LPS-induced B cell proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 4.18 to 5.78 μM, which provided more possibilities with the treatment of organ transplantation and various autoimmune diseases.

Nine undescribed prenylxanthone derivatives, aspergixanthones L−T (1−9), were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus stellatus. Compound 4 represents the first propionylated prenylxanthone, while compounds 7−9 are the first examples of prenylxanthones adorned with a 2,3-butanediol group. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculation, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Mo2(OAc)4 induced ECD experiment, and Mosherʼs method. Compound 9 showed cytotoxic effects against several human cancer cell lines with the IC50 values ranging from 3.35 ± 0.58 to 8.62 ± 1.18 μM. Compounds 7 and 8 showed suppressive effects on NO production with IC50 values of 7.30 ± 0.69 and 5.16 ± 0.17 μM, respectively.

Four previously undescribed cyclic peptides, reniochpeptins A–D (1–4), were isolated from the marine sponge Reniochalina sp. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and a modified advanced Marfey's method. This method utilized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry, employing a CORTECS T3 column to achieve simultaneous separation of derivatized L-Leu, L-Ile, L-allo-Ile, D-Leu, D-Ile, and D-allo-Ile within 25 min in a single analytical run. Reniochpeptin A displayed moderate inhibitory activity against NCI–H460 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.7 μM, by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and promoting apoptosis.

Nine previously undescribed chromones, named sadivamones O–W (1–9), and five known analogues (10–14), were isolated from the roots of Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk. The detailed structural analysis of each compound was finalized by a variety of methods including NMR (1D and 2D), mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) spectroscopic data, and sugar hydrolysis. The absolute configurations of compounds (4–5) were determined by CD. Moreover, compounds 1–14 were evaluated for their inhibition of IL-1β-induced proliferative activity in SW982 cells. The results demonstrated that compounds 2–4 and 11–12 exhibited notable inhibitory effects on IL-1β-induced proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with the most pronounced inhibition observed at a concentration of 20 μM.

Twelve flavonoid glycosides including five undescribed ones, lepisativutimines Q−U, were isolated and identified from Lepidium sativum seeds. Acid hydrolysis followed by acetic derivatization and GC analysis were conducted to determine the absolute configurations for sugars. Lepisativutimine U and beitingxinhuangtong A were uncommon kaempferol 8-S-glycosides, and complete NMR data of beitingxinhuangtong A were provided for the first time. Mass fragmentation pathways of isolated compounds were deduced based on their MS/MS data, and characteristic mass fragmentation patterns were summarized. Lepisativutimine U and kaempferol-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside exhibited weak anti-diabetic activity against PTP1B with IC50 values of 60.58 ± 3.53 and 33.90 ± 2.89 μM, respectively, quercetin-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside displayed significant anti-diabetic activity against α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 25.96 ± 0.30 μM, and kaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-galactopyranoside-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside and kaempferol-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside showed weak inhibitory activity against NO release in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 92.28 ± 4.19 and 40.77 ± 1.50 μM, respectively.

Previously undescribed triterpenoid saponins (1–8), along with eight previously reported analogues (9–16), were isolated from an EtOAc extract obtained from the roots of Rubus setchuenensis. Structures were established based on HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, as well as by literature comparisons. All compounds were isolated for the first time from the genus Rubus. Compounds 3–4, 6–8, and 12–15 displayed inhibitory activities against NO production in a RAW264.7 cell inflammation model induced by LPS. Moreover, 4, 6–8, and 12–13 exhibited inhibitory effects in a LPS-induced BV-2 cell neuroinflammation model.

Artemyriantholidimers A-G (1–7), seven undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers (GSDs), and 27 known compounds (8–34) were isolated from Artemisia myriantha (Asteraceae). Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated based on the comprehensive analyses of UV, IR, MS, NMR data, quantum chemical NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses, and the absolute configurations were elucidated by ECD calculations. The undescribed GSDs (1–7) were presumably formed via Diels-Alder reactions, and compounds 5–7 were rare GSDs with α-configuration of H-6'. Compounds 4–7 showed significant inhibition on HepG2, Huh7, and SK-Hep-1 cells with IC50 values ranging from 6.9 to 13.0 μM by antihepatoma assay. The best active compound 5 was deduced to be targeted on the protein AURKA of the p53 signaling pathway by network pharmacological analysis with a high bind affinity of AURKA (total score: −8.98) by molecular docking, and had a KD value of 62.4 μM by surface plasmon resonance assay.

Five previously undescribed phenylpyridones, designated as citridones H–L (1–5), along with seven known compounds, were characterized from the rice medium culture of the Cineraria repanda-derived endophytic fungus Penicillium oxalicum. Their structures were elucidated through detailed interpretation of UV, NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. The absolute configurations of C-2 and C-3 in compounds 1–4 were determined by spectroscopic analysis and ECD calculations, while the C-5′ configurations were established through computational 13C NMR and DP4+ analyses. These compounds represent a novel scaffold of chromone-phenylpyridone hybrids, making only the second report of such compounds from the Penicillium genus and the first to feature a unique (E)-5-methylhepta-1,3-diene group at the C-2 position. Additionally, a biosynthetic pathway for these novel chromone-phenylpyridones is proposed for the first time. Notably, compounds 3 and 4 exhibited cytotoxicity against HCT116 and H1299 cell lines when used in combination, with IC50 values of 4.15 ± 0.34 and 9.07 ± 1.64 μM, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 3, 4 and 5 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values of 64, 64 and 8 μg/mL, respectively.

Their structures were unequivocally determined by the analysis of NMR, HRESIMS, and IR data, along with NMR and ECD quantum-mechanical calculations, followed by the application of the DP4+ method. Most compounds possess an ether bridge between different carbons, whereas compounds 13/14 and 15/16 are diastereomers isomerized at C-7/C-10 and at C-7/C-10/C-12, respectively. The antineuroinflammatory activity of compounds 1−18 was tested in an LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated BV2 microglial cell line. Compounds 1, 5, 8, 9 and 14 significantly reduced nitric oxide (NO) levels in a concentration-dependent manner (25–200 μM). Moreover, possible interactions between these bioactive compounds and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were predicted via in silico studies. NO is known as an inflammatory mediator in neurodegenerative diseases; therefore, the effects of these compounds indicate their potential antineuroinflammatory activity.

Delphinium forrestii var. viride is a plant of the genus Delphinium in the family Ranunculaceae. The chemical composition of the 95% ethanol extract of the whole herb of D. forrestii var. viride was investigated. 7 previously undescribed C19-type diterpenoid alkaloids along with 5 known ones were isolated from D. forrestii var. viride. Based on chemical evidence and spectral data analysis (UV, optical rotation data, 1D/2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS), the structures of new compounds were elucidated. All compounds were also tested for anti-inflammatory effects. Our work has enriched the chemical diversity of D. forrestii var. viride and the Delphinium genus, providing valuable information for further research.
