Two new nitrogen-containing compounds, pseudosteheterins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the glycosides-enriched cardioprotective fraction of the 70% EtOH extract of the roots of Pseudostellaria heterophylla. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configuration of 1 was established by quantum chemical TDDFT calculation of the ECD spectrum of its model compound. Pseudosteheterin B showed significant protective effects in H9c2 myocardial cells against CoCl2-induced injury.

A new homoisoflavanone, (3 R)-5,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-3-(2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one (1), was isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the rhizomes of Polygonatum cyrtonema. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR techniques. Quantum chemical TD DFT calculations of the theoretical ECD spectrum of 1 allowed assignment of the absolute configuration as 3R.

Pseudostellaria heterophylla is used in China not only as a functional food but also as an herb to tonify the spleen, enhance immunity, and treat palpitation. Our previous investigation showed that a fraction enriched in glycosides obtained from the roots of P. heterophylla possessed pronounced protective effects on H9c2 cells against CoCl2-induced hypoxic injury. However, the active compounds responsible for the observed effects were still unknown. In the current investigation, pseudosterins A–C (1–3), three new alkaloids with a 1-ethyl-3-formyl-β-carboline skeleton, together with polydatin, have been isolated from the active fraction. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemical calculations. The four compounds showed cardioprotective effects against sodium hydrosulfite-induced hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in H9c2 cells, with the three alkaloids being more potent. This is also the first report of alkaloids with a β-carboline skeleton isolated from P. heterophylla as cardioprotective agents.

Five new acylphloroglucinol glycosides, robustasides A-E (1–5), together with a known one (6), were isolated from the leaves of Eucalyptus robusta. The structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis and chemical evidence. The absolute configuration of 1 was further determined by quantum chemical CD calculation.

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.

Flavomannin 6,6′,8-tri-O-methyl ether occurs in the fruiting bodies of the Australian toadstool Dermocybe sp. WAT 24274 as an anisochiral mixture of the (3S,3′S,P)- and (3R,3′R,M)-enantiomers (5) and (7), respectively, in which the former predominates to the extent of 50% e.e. The structure of the natural product is determined by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration and enantiomeric purity are deduced from the c.d. spectrum and by chemical degradation of the natural product to a mixture of stereoisomeric dihydroanthracenones that has been analysed by chiral h.p.l.c.

Enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of (E)-1-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene (I) with chiral (-)-menthyl (II) and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl (III) glyoxylates in various solvents without or with catalysts was studied. The reactions gave a mixture of trans-and cis-isomers of (-)-menthyl (IV) and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl (V) 2-trimethylsilyloxy-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-6-carboxylates. The regioselectivity of the reaction was explained by quantum-chemical calculations, the enantioselectivity was determined using 13C NMR spectroscopy and the absolute configuration of the addition products was assigned on the basis of chemical correlation with (S)-(-)-dimethyl malate.
