Two new triterpenoid natural products (friedelane-3,21α-diol and friedelane-3α,28,29-triol) have been isolated from the chloroform bark extract of Balanops australiana from Paluma, north Queensland, Australia. The known triterpenoids betulinic acid, friedelin, canophyllol, zeylanol and 21α-hydroxyfriedelan-3-one were also isolated. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis. A single-crystal X-ray structural analysis has been carried out on 21α-hydroxyfriedelan-3-one.

A practical procedure for the preparation of O-methyl substituted 3a,8-dialkyl-2-oxofuroindolines is described. Reductive lactonization of the corresponding oxindol-3-ylacetic acids provides a route for the formation of this class of compounds. Further transformation of 2-oxofuroindolines into 2-oxopyrrolidinoindolines, and then to pyrrolidinoindolines demonstrates their versatility as key intermediates in natural products synthesis. The results of single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses are given for five of the studied compounds.

Tryptanthrin is one of the most important members of indoloquinoline alkaloids. We obtained this alkaloid fromIsatis. Two novelFeIIandCoIIcomplexes of tryptanthrin were first synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that these complexes display distorted four-coordinated tetrahedron geometry via two heterocyclic nitrogen and oxygen atoms from tryptanthrin ligand. Binding with G-quadruplex DNA properties revealed that both complexes were found to exhibit significant interaction with G-quadruplex DNA. This study may potentially serve as the basis of future rational design of metal-based drugs from natural products that target the G-quadruplex DNA.

Drug discovery from natural products resources have been extensively studied. The most important step in the discovery process is the identification of compounds with interesting biological activity. Single crystal X-ray structure determination is a powerful technique for natural products research and drug discovery in which the detailed three-dimensional structures that emerge can be co-related to the activities of these structures. This article shall present (i) co-crystal structures, (ii) determination of absolute configuration and (iii) the ability to distinguish between whether a natural product compound is a natural product or a natural product artifact. All these three properties are unique to the technique of single crystal X-ray structure determination.

Five coordination polymers, [Cu(L)2]n (1), {[Cu(L)(Cl)(H2O)]·H2O}2n (2), [KCu(L)(μ-Cl)2]n (3), [Cu(L)(Br)H2O]n (4), and {[Cu0.5(HL)(H2O)](NO3)·H2O}2n (5) (HL = 5-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic acid) were obtained by reactions of a pyramidal CuII-containing ligand, {[Cu(L)2(H2O)]·3H2O}n (LCu), with Gd(ClO4)3·6H2O, GdCl3·6H2O, GdCl3·6H2O/KCl, GdBr3·6H2O, or Gd(NO3)3·6H2O in water. Structural analysis reveals that the structures of these compounds range from a 0D block to a 2D network with modification of the environment of the CuII ions compared with LCu. Interestingly, there occurred a series of reversible dissolution/reorganization equilibriums between the initial reactants and the final products 1–5, which were determined as enthalpy/entropy driven chemical equilibriums by single crystal X-ray diffraction and microcalorimetry. In addition, the thermal stability of 1–4 and the magnetic property of 2 are discussed.

A p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene-based, C-shaped supermolecule, [Ce3(PDA)4(C4AS)2·13H2O](NO3)·25H2O 1 was prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis, thermal methods (TG, DSC and hot-stage microscopy) and Hirshfeld analysis.
