One new 5α,8α-epidioxysterol, 3-acetylaxinysterol (1), along with one known sterol, axinysterol (2), were isolated from a Formosan sponge, Axinyssa sp.. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration of 2 was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for the first time. Compound 2 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against K562 and Molt 4 cancer cell lines.

Jatroidaine A (1), a new tetranortirucallane-type triterpene, and two known analogues (2−3) were isolated from the leaves and branches of Jatropha multifida. Their structures were fully elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods and comparison to known compounds. The absolute configuration of 1 was assigned by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitory activities. Unfortunately, no significant activity was observed.

AbstractTwo undescribed Tricholoma triterpenoids, namely tricholopardins C (1) and D (2), were isolated from the wild mushroom Tricholoma pardinum. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, as well as the single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 2 were further obtained by chemical conversions from the known analogues. Compound 1 showed significant cytotoxicity to MCF-7 and Hela cell lines with IC50 values of 4.7 μM and 9.7 μM, respectively. Its mechanism of inducing MCF-7 cell apoptosis was studied briefly.

A series of triazolo-thiadiazepines 4a–k were synthesized with excellent yields using dehydrated PTSA as a catalyst in toluene. Two triazolo-thiadiazines were obtained; 8a was formed directly by reflux in ethanol, whereas, PTSA promoted the formation of 8b. The molecular structure of the formed triazolo-thiadiazepines is identical to the imine-form 4a–k and not the enamine-tautomer 6a–k. The structures of the newly synthesized triazolo-thiadiazepines 4a–k and triazolo-thiadiazines 8a–b were elucidated using NMR (1H, and 13C), 2D NMR, HRMS, and X-ray single crystal. Furthermore, 4a was deduced using X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. These new thiadiazepine hits represent an optimized series of previously synthesized indole-triazole derivatives for the inhibition of EGFR. The cytotoxicity activity against two cancer cell lines including human liver cancer (HEPG-2) and breast cancer (MCF-7) was promising, with IC50 between 12.9 to 44.6 µg/mL and 14.7 to 48.7 µg/mL for the tested cancer cell lines respectively, compared to doxorubicin (IC50 4.0 µg/mL). Docking studies revealed that the thiadiazepine scaffold presented a suitable anchor, allowing good interaction of the various binding groups with the enzyme binding regions and sub-pockets.

Chemical investigation of a crinoid Himerometra magnipinna has afforded three anthraquinones (1–3), including one new metabolite, (+)-rhodoptilometrin (1). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and the absolute configuration of 1 was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the in vitro anti-inflammatory effects test, compound 2 was found to significantly inhibit the accumulation of the pro-inflammatory iNOS protein of the LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells.

The valence self-regulation of sulfur from the “−2” valence state in thiols to the “−1” valence state in hydroxylated thiolates has been accomplished using the Pt1Ag28 nanocluster as a platform—the first time that the “−1” valent sulfur has been detected as S−1. Two previously unknown nanoclusters, Pt1Ag28(SR)20 and Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2 (where SR represents 2-adamantanethiol), have been synthesized and characterized—in the latter nanocluster, the presence of hydroxyl induces the valence regulation of two special S atoms from “−2” (in SR) to “−1” valence state in the HO-S(Ag)R. Because of the contrasting nature of the capping ligands in these two nanoclusters [i.e., only SR in Pt1Ag28(SR)20 or both SR- and HO-SR- in Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2], they exhibit differing shell architectures, even though their cores (Pt1Ag12) are in the same icosahedral configuration. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis revealed their 1:1 cocrystallization, and mass spectrometry verified the presence of hydroxyls on Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2.

Treatment of Spicaria elegans with cytochrome P-450 inhibitor resulted in two new deoxy-cytochalasins, 7-deoxy-cytochalasin Z7 (1) and 7-deoxy-cytochalasin Z9 (2), which were recognized as plausible precursors of cytochalasins Z7 and Z9, respectively. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration of 1 was determined by the conventional Mosher ester method. Their cytotoxicities against two cancer cell lines were evaluated.

Alkyl esters and alkyl amides of 1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylic acid were synthesised and characterised by IR, 1H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis. The structure of 1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylic was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Some selected compounds were evaluated against P-388 and A-549 cancer cell lines, but showed poor inhibitory activities.

Chemical examination of the octocoral Sinularia humilis, collected in the waters of Taiwan, led to the isolation of S8 (1). Its structure was determined by a single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis and this is the first time that S8 has been reported from a marine invertebrate.

The reaction of [tBuN=VCp(PMe3)2] (1) with S8, Se, Te or I2 have been studied. Via this pathway dinuclear diamagnetic tert-butylimidovanadium(IV) complexes are formed: [(μ-E)(μ- NtBu)2V2Cp2] (E=S, Se, Te), [(μ-η1−E2)(μ-NtBu)2V2Cp2] {E=Se (3), Te}, [(μ-NtBu)2V2Cp2I2]. In addition the vanadium(V) complexes [tBuN=VCp (S5)] (9a) and tBuN=VCpI2 could be isolated. The synthesis of tBuN=VCpF2 is also described. All compounds obtained have been characterized by spectroscopic methods (MS; 1H, 13C, 51V NMR), 3 and 9b by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Cytochalasans have continuously aroused considerable attention among the chemistry and pharmacology communities due to their structural complexities and pharmacological significances. Sixteen structurally diverse chaetoglobosins, 10-(indol-3-yl)-[13]cytochalasans, including a new one, 6-O-methyl-chaetoglobosin Q (1), were isolated from the coral-associated fungus Chaetomium globosum C2F17. Their structures were accomplished by extensive spectroscopic analysis combined with single-crystal X-ray crystallography and ECD calculations. Meanwhile, the structures and absolute configurations of the previously reported compounds 6, 12, and 13 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis for the first time. Chaetoglobosins E (6) and Fex (11) showed significant cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines, K562, A549, Huh7, H1975, MCF-7, U937, BGC823, HL60, Hela, and MOLT-4, with the IC50 values ranging from 1.4 μM to 9.2 μM.
