The acetone extract of the sponge Dysidea sp. was subjected to chromatography techniques for fractionation and purification. A new sesterterpene, scalarester (1), and four known scalaranes, viz. scalarin (2), scalaradial (3), desacetylscalaradial (4), and desacetoxyscalaradial (5), were obtained. Their structures have been elucidated by means of spectroscopic data interpretation, mainly 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectrometry.

One new dolabellane (1) and two known diterpenoids stolonidiol (2) and clavinflol B (3) have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the Indonesian soft coral Anthelia sp. A new compound 1 exhibited a moderate cytotoxicity against NBT-T2 cells at 10 µg/mL, while known compounds 2 and 3 showed cytotoxicity at 1 and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively. Structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR data) and mass spectrometry (ESIMS data) as well as comparison with those of related ones. This finding should be useful for anti cancer drug development of the promising dolabellane-types compound.

Bioassay guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the plant Gutierrezia sarothrae (Asteraceae) using an assay for antiplasmodial activity against the drug-resistant Dd2 strain of Plasmodium falciparum led to the isolation of the two new diterpenes 3α-angeloyloxy-15-hydroxylabda-7,13-dien-16,15-olid-18-oic acid (1) and 3α-angeloyloxy-15-methoxylabda-7,13-dien-16,15-olid-18-oic acid (2). The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by interpretation of ID and 2D NMR spectroscopic data, mass spectrometry, and comparison with the data of related compounds reported in the literature. Compound 1 exhibited moderate antiplasmodial activity with an IC50 values of 10.4 ± 4.3 μM.

The reactions of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with various 2-oxo-acenaphthoquinylidene- and 4-acetyl[2.2]paracyclophanylidene-thiosemicarbazones were investigated. Using simple experimental procedures, 1,3-Thiazolidin-4-ones derived from acenaphthequinone or [2.2]paracyclophane were obtained as major products in good yields. In the case of allyl derivative of acenaphthoquinylidene-thiosemicarbazones, a complex structure of tetramethyl 5-(2-(((Z,E)-N-allyl-N′-(2-oxoacenaphthylen-1(2H)-ylidene)carbamohydrazonoyl)thio)-1,2,3-tris-(methoxycarbonyl)-cyclopropyl)-4-methoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-1,2,3,6-tetracarboxylate was formed. Single crystal X-ray analysis was used as an efficient tool to confirm the structure of the synthesized compounds as well as different spectroscopic data (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis). The mechanism of the obtained products was discussed.

Examination of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum ellipticum afforded a new acetylated benzophenone glucoside (3′- O-β-D-3″,4″,6″-triacetylglucopyranosyl-2,4,5′,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone) together with catechin and epicatechin. The structure of the benzophenone glucoside was determined by 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The compound inhibited the proliferation of CNS tumor cell line (SF-268) and lipid peroxidation in in vitro assays.

Deoxyphomalone (1), dimethyl 4-methyl-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (2), stemphyperylenol (3), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (4) were isolated from the fermentation broth of a strain of the fungus, Alternaria tenuissima. This fungus was isolated from the soil underlying the lichen, Peltigera didactyla, which had been collected from Wapusk National Park in Northern Manitoba. The structures of the compounds were determined by comprehensive analysis of their spectroscopic data including FT-IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry; and their bioactivities were tested against E.coli cells. The taxonomic identity of the fungus was confirmed by ITS sequencing of its ribosomal DNA.

Fractionation of the methanol extract of Phlomis amanica resulted in the isolation of a new pimarane type diterpene, amanicadol (1), together with the known glycosides lamiide, verbascoside (= acteoside), syringaresinol-4-O-β -glucoside, liriodendrin, syringin, and a caffeic acid ester, chlorogenic acid. The structure of the new compound was established on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data interpretation. Molecular modeling studies on 1 were conducted and showed that it exhibited low conformational flexibility. Additionally, NMR chemical shifts were calculated for 1 in vacuo, and calculated values were in very close agreement with those found experimentally.

A new flavone, 3-methoxy-5-hydroxy-[2”,3”:7,8] furanoflavone, pubinerone (1), was isolated from the twigs of Millettia pubinervis Kurz, together with ten known flavonoids, karanjin (2), kanjone (3), 3,6-dimethoxy-[2”,3”:7,8] furanoflavone (4), pongaglabrone (5), pongapin (6), pongaflavone (7), 3,6-dimethoxy-6”,6”-dimethylchromene-[2”,3”:7,8] flavone (8), pongachromene (9), 3,6-dimethoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxy-6”,6”-dimethylchromene-[2”,3”:7,8] flavone (10) and demethoxykanugin (11). This is the first phytochemical investigation of this plant. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation, including 1D and 2D NMR and HREIMS analysis. The cytotoxicity of 1 against five human cancer cell lines, HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480, was evaluated, but it was inactive (IC50>40μM).

Two isoprenylated flavanones, macatrichocarpins A and B, and two isoprenylated dihydrochalcones, macatrichocarpins C and D, have been isolated and identified from the acetone extract of the leaves of Macaranga trichocarpa. The structures of these compounds were determined based on spectroscopic data, including UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and HREIMS data. This is the first report of the presence of dihydrochalcone derivatives in the genus Macaranga.
