We describe the isolation, identification, and structural elucidation of natural products from the Mongolian me- dicinal plant Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce. Six flavonoid glycosides, isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (narcissoside, narcissin) (1), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (nicotiflorin) (2), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (rutin) (3), apigenin-6-C-� -D- glucoside (isovitexin) (4), apigenin-6-C-(2�� -O-� -D-xylopyranosyl-� -D-glucopyranoside) (desmodin) (5), and isovitexin-7- O-� -D-glucoside (saponarin) (6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce. The struc- tures of 1-6 have been confirmed by UV, IR, MS, and NMR ( 1 H, 13 C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, and ROESY) data. Graphical Abstract:

Tubulysins, linear tetrapeptides produced by several strains of myxobacteria, show an extremely high toxicity towards a wide range of cancer cell lines, with IC50 values in the nano or even picomolar range. Therefore, tubulysins and their derivatives might be suitable candidates for the development of antitumor drugs. Several synthetic approaches for tubulysins and derivates have been developed, which will be discussed in the review.

The polyphenolic composition and antioxidant properties of the methanol leaf extract of Vitis × labruscana cv. 'Isabella' has been performed by means of different spectrophotometric antioxidant methods. Intracellular ROS produc- tion was measured by cell fluorescence after loading with 2',7'-H2DCF-DA. The extract promising efficacy has laid the basis to its phytochemical characterization. Three hydroxycinnamoyl tartaric acids (1-3), isoquercitrin 4, and five flavonol glycuronides (5-9) were isolated from Vitis × labruscana cv. 'Isabella' leaves. Chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic features. Metabolites 6, 7, and 9, characterized by glucuronic or galacturonic acid methyl es- ter, are described from the genus Vitis for the first time. The metabolites isolated as major constituents were investigated for their DPPH radical scavenging capacity.

Hedyotis diffusa has been used to treat cancers in traditional Chinese medicine for many years. Recently, sev- eral anthraquinone compounds were extracted from Hedyotis diffusa and identified as its anticancer ingredients. These compounds are able to induce apoptosis in several types of cancer cells. In this study, we showed that the anticancer activ- ity of Hedyotis diffusa was highly selective, possessing high cytotoxicity towards human breast cancer MCF7 cells but almost no cytotoxicity against the mammary epithelial MCF12A cells. The Hedyotis diffusa water extract also elevated the energy metabolism in both MCF12A and MCF7 cells; but the ATP/ADP ratio was still maintained at about 1.0 in the MCF12A cells to avoid either apoptosis or uncontrolled proliferation. In addition, Sheshecaojing, a health product of He- dyotis diffusa marketed in China, gave a dose-dependent cytotoxic response against the MCF7 cells.

The experimental 13 C chemical shifts of five different series of organic compounds are compared with pre- dicted 13 C NMR chemical shifts obtained via empirically scaled GIAO shieldings. Our results indicate that the inclusion of a scaling factor allow to obtain an excellent correlation between δcalc and δexp. Although the inclusion of asymmetry im- proves this correlation, such enhancement was not observed for all the 54 tested compounds. We found RMS, a parameter related with the structural feature of the whole molecule, which could indicate the benefits of including asymmetry in these calculations.

Emetine is a natural product alkaloid from ipecac species. It is one of the main active ingredients in ipecac syrup used as emetic, and has been used extensively in phytomedicine as an antiparasitic drug. It inhibits both ribosomal and mitochondrial protein synthesis and interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA. For this reason, it has been a vital tool to pharmacologists and has demonstrated many biological properties, such as antiviral, anticancer, antiparasitic and contraceptive activities. Also, it has been reported to cause the up-regulation and down-regulation of a number of genes. Some synthetic analogs with interesting biological activities have been prepared. This article reviews the biological activities of emetine and some emetine derived molecules.

This study investigates the in vitro activity of a number of flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin, trifolin, and ace- tyl hyperoside) and their acetylated products: kaempferol acetate, quercetin acetate, trifolin acetate, and acetyl hyperoside acetate) isolated from the aerial parts of plant Consolida oliveriana against epimastigote, amastigote and metacyclic forms of T. cruzi, their cytotoxic against a host Vero-cell line and analyse the possible mechanism by which these molecules act. Acetylated compounds were potent T. cruzi epimastigote growth inhibitors with activity levels similar to those of benzni- dazole, used as the reference drug. These compounds, at the dosage IC25, decreased the ability of metacyclic forms to in- vade mammalian cells, their intracellular replications and transformation in trypomastigotes, with no toxicity to the host cells. The cells treated presented severe damage in their ultrastructure: intense vacuolization, and appearance of lysosomes as well as other residual bodies. The mitochondrial section appeared larger in size, with a swollen matrix. In addition, these compounds changed the excretion of end metabolites, primarily affecting acetate and succinate excretion, possibly by directly influencing certain enzymes or their synthesis. The potent tripanocidal activities of the flavons described here represent an exciting advance in the search for new antiprotozoal agents.
