Two new compounds, 1-chloro-decarboxyunguinolic acid (1) and 6-hydroxy-3-methyloctan-4-yl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate (2), along with seven known ones (3-9), were isolated from a sponge-derived fungus Diaporthe sp. ZYX-Z-582. Five compounds (1–5) exhibited inhibitory activity against agricultural pathogenic fungi Neoscytalidium dimidiatum ZYXPF03, Gilbertella persicaria HLG-T, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Passiflorae ZYXPF10 and Colletotrichum musae ZYXPF01, with MIC values ranging from 8 μg/mL to 128 μg/mL.

Three previously undescribed matrine-type alkaloids, sophaloseedlines U–W (1–3), together with three known analogues, were isolated from the seeds of Sophora alopecuroides L. Their chemical structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses (HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against two human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Compound 4 exhibited the most potent activity, with IC₅₀ values of 24.8 μM and 26.1 μM, respectively.

Two new naphthopyrones, berchelineatones A and B (1 and 2), together with a new prenylisoflavone (3), were isolated from Berchemia lineata. Their structures were primarily determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallographic data analysis. Notably, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potent inhibition on nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 macrophages, with IC50 values of 2.52 and 2.06 μM, respectively.

Quillaja saponaria Molina is an endemic Chilean tree valued for its saponin-rich bark and biomass. However, overexploitation and drought have endangered natural populations, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives such as the use of leaves. In this study, we analyzed the polyphenolic profile of water extracts obtained from fresh and dried Q. saponaria leaves using UHPLC/MS. Although the extraction was optimized for saponin recovery, several polyphenolic compounds remained detectable. The analysis revealed a diverse composition, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, with piscidic acid dominating (82.65–82.96 % of total quantified polyphenols), followed by p-coumaric acid derivatives identified as Quillajasides A and B and their isomers (4.81–5.34 %), and quercetin derivatives (3.7–4.15 %). These findings suggest that polyphenols, though secondary in saponin-rich water extracts, may influence extract properties relevant to industrial and food applications. This comprehensive analysis contributes to sustainable plant resource management and provides insights into Q. saponaria leaves as a source of bioactive compounds.

A new C₂₂ furanoterpenoid, lendenfurone A (1), was isolated from the Formosan marine sponge Lendenfeldia sp. C₂₂ furanoterpenoids are rare among sponge-derived natural products, with only two compounds (furodendin and dehydrofurodendin) reported to date. The structure of 1 was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and HRESIMS, and the absolute configuration was established by specific optical rotation (SOR) prediction and confirmed through DFT-based NMR calculations with DP4⁺ analysis. Although compound 1 showed no significant anti-osteoclastogenic activity in PMA/RANKL-induced THP-1 cells, it exhibited no cytotoxicity. The unique scaffold of lendenfurone A may serve as a promising lead for future pharmacological studies.

Bischofia javanica (Euphorbiaceae) has been used for a long time to manage ulcers, bone fractures, dislocations, inflammation, and tuberculosis. This study evaluated the analgesic, antidiarrheal, and hypoglycemic effects of the methanolic fruit extract (MFBJ) and n-hexane fraction (NHF) of the plant. At 400 mg/kg, both reduced pain in the writhing test (56.74 % and 51.63 %; p < 0.001) and prolonged hot plate response times. MFBJ also showed stronger antidiarrheal (68.65 %) and hypoglycemic (5.92 ± 0.03 mmol/L; p < 0.001) effects. Findings suggest therapeutic potential, warranting further characterisation of bioactive compounds.

A new aromadendrane sesquiterpene derivative, (alafinol, 1), alongside with fourteen known compounds were isolated from the methanolic extract of the liana of Alafia erythrophthalma (K. Schum.) Leeuwenb. The structures of the compounds were determined by analyses of spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR, HRMS) data and circular dichroism spectra as well as by comparison with literature records. Compounds 5, 8–12 and 14 are reported here for the first time from the genus Alafia. Compounds 1–2 and crude extract were tested for their antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungal strains Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. The crude extract exhibited weak activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a MIC value of 312.5 μg/mL.

Three previously undescribed aniline-containing phthalide derivatives, designated talarophthalides A-C (1-3), along with three known polyketides (4-6) were isolated from the culture of the Yellow River wetland-derived Talaromyces funiculosus HPU-Y01 treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA (suberanilohydroxamic acid). The structures of the new compounds were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS, and further confirmed by X-ray crystallography for talarophthalide A (1). Compound 1 showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 20.7 μM.

Two new euphane-type triterpenoids, lantapenoids A and B (1–2), a new acyclic monoterpenoid, lantapenoid C (7), and four known triterpenoids (3–6), along with hispidulin (8) and 1,2,3-naphthalenetriol (9), were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of the aerial parts of Lantana camara Linn. Their structures were elucidated through extensive analyses of IR, HRESI-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR data, as well as comparison with the published data. In vivo bioassays showed that the dichloromethane extract suppressed Magnaporthe oryzae by 56 % at 3000 µg mL−1, while fraction LD1108 (from the dichloromethane extract) exhibited 69 % inhibition against Phytophthora infestans at 2000 µg mL−1. Among the nine metabolites, only compound 3 showed in vivo antifungal activity against M. oryzae, with 56 % inhibition at 1000 µg mL−1. These results suggested the use of this plant extract and its metabolites as eco-friendly fungicidal agents for controlling plant fungal diseases.

Two new sesquiterpenoids, ginkgonin A (1) and ginkgonin B (2), together with six known compounds (3 - 8), were isolated from the broth of Streptomyces ginkgonis TH01. Their structures were determined through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY). The absolute configurations were solved via electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 – 8 were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects against all tested strains, with MIC values ranging from 12.3 to 49.4 μg/mL.
