Inula oculus-christi L. (Compositae) extract was chromatographed and three sesquiterpene lactones ergolide, gaillardin and pulchellin C were isolated. The structures of these compounds were determined by analysis of their spectroscopic data, and their crystal structures were defined using X-ray crystallography; the isolation of ergolide and pulchellin C is reported for the first time from this species. These three compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against MDBK, MCF7 and WEHI164 cells; ergolide and gaillardin exhibited lower and significantly different IC50 values compared with pulchellin C ( p<0.001).

Reaction of [WI2(CO)3(NCMe)2] with two equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-propyne (MeC2Ph) in CH2Cl2, and in the absence of light, gave the bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne) complex [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (1) in 77% yield. Treatment of equimolar quantities of 1 and NCR (R = Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) in CH2Cl2 afforded the nitrile-exchanged products, [WI2(CO)(NCR)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (2-5) (R = Et (2), i-Pr (3), t-Bu (4), Ph (5)). Complexes 1, 2, and 5 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. All three structures have the same pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the equatorial sites being occupied by cis and parallel alkyne groups, which are trans to the cis-iodo groups. The trans carbon monoxide and acetonitrile ligands occupy the axial sites. In structures 1 and 2, the methyl and phenyl substituents of the 1-phenyl-1-propyne ligands are cis to each other, whereas for the bulkier NCPh complex (5), the methyl and phenyl groups are trans to one another. This is the first time that this arrangement has been observed in the solid state in bis(alkyne) complexes of this type.Key words: bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne), carbonyl, nitrile, diiodo, tungsten(II), crystal structures.

The crystal structure and absolute configuration of koetjapic acid were unambiguously reassigned by X-ray crystallography with strong support from NMR spectroscopic data. The acid contained 9 quaternary carbon atoms existing as an orthorhombic crystal with a space group of P21 21 21 and unit cell parameters of a = 7.6641(2), b = 14.6844(4) and c = 23.9316(6). Ring A adopted a chair conformation, ring B has an envelope conformation, whilst ring C assumed a half-chair and D displayed a chair conformation. The absolute configurations at C1 ( R), C5 ( R), C7 ( S), C10 ( S), C13 ( R), C14 ( R), C17 ( S) and C18 ( S) were assigned for the first time. The X-ray crystal of koetjapic acid was therefore reassigned as 3,4-seco-olean-4(23),12-diene-3,30-dioic acid. A plausible biogenetic synthetic pathway for compound 1 is also proposed.

Cordytropolone (1) and (−)-leptosphaerone A (2) were isolated from the culture broth of the fungus Polycephalomyces nipponicus. The structures of these two compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and from a comparison of the spectroscopic data with those reported previously. The structure of 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography for the first time while the leptosphaerone class (compound 2) was first isolated as its (+)-antipode from the fungus Polycephalomyces ( Cordyceps). The fermentation process was monitored weekly by High performance liquid chromatography analysis for 10 weeks. The predominant compound (1) was produced at ~0.65 mg/mg of dry extract at week 9. Compound 1 exhibited modest antipathogenic fungal activity against Collectrichum musae, Colletotrichum capsici, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium spp. TFPK301, F. spp. FOC1708, and Pestalotia spp. with percentage of mycelial growth inhibition values of 3.74 ± 0.70%, 12.86 ± 1.43%, 0.91 ± 0.56%, 5.46 ± 0.56%, 7.93 ± 0.61%, and 18.75 ± 5.24%, respectively, at 25 μg/mL.

Ten new (1–10) and 26 known (11–36) compounds were isolated from Penicillium griseofulvum MCCC 3A00225, a deep sea-derived fungus. The structures of the new compounds were determined by detailed analysis of the NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations were established by X-ray crystallography, Marfey’s method, and the ICD method. All isolates were tested for in vitro anti-food allergic bioactivities in immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cells. Compound 13 significantly decreased the degranulation release with an IC50 value of 60.3 μM, compared to that of 91.6 μM of the positive control, loratadine.

Three new phenylhydrazones, penoxahydrazones A–C (compounds 1–3), and two new quinazolines, penoxazolones A (compound 4) and B (compound 5), with unique linkages were isolated from the fungus Penicillium oxalicum obtained from the deep sea cold seep. Their structures and relative configurations were assigned by analysis of 1D/2D NMR and mass spectroscopic data, and the absolute configurations of 1, 4, and 5 were established on the basis of X-ray crystallography or ECD calculations. Compound 1 represents the first natural phenylhydrazone-bearing steroid, while compounds 2 and 3 are rarely occurring phenylhydrazone tautomers. Compounds 4 and 5 are enantiomers that feature quinazoline and cinnamic acid units. Some isolates exhibited inhibition of several marine phytoplankton species and marine-derived bacteria.

An alkaloid of Crotalaria leschenaultii DC., previously reported as crispatine and now named crotaleschenine, has been re-investigated and shown to be (7β,8α-H,12α,13α,14α)-12β-hydroxy-1,2-didehydrocrotalane-11,15-dione.1 Spectroscopic data are presented and the stereochemistry determined by X-ray crystallography. The esterifying acid of crotaleschenine is identical with that of retusine , which is thereby determined as (1a,7β,8α-H,12α,13α,14α)-12β- hydroxycrotalane-11,15-dione.
