The lichen Roccella sinensis has not been studied chemically. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the lichen Roccella sinensis collected in Binh Thuan. Phytochemistry investigation of this lichen was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Six compounds was isolated. Their structures were established by extensively spectroscopic analysis as well as comparison with NMR data in the literatures. They are (+)-D-montagnetol (1), (+)-D-erythrin (2), lecanorin (3), 1-acetylerythritol (4), (E)-nostodione A (5), and 2,4-dihydroxyphthalide (6). This is the first time compounds 3 6 were found in the Roccella genus. Compounds 1, 2, and 6 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG2 (liver hepatocellular carcinoma), NCI-H460 (human lung cancer), MCF-7 (human breast cancer), and HeLa (human epithelial cancer) and all of them showed no activity.

Chemical investigation of the ethyl acetate extract of the lichen Lobaria orientalis,Lobariaceae, collected in Vietnam, afforded six known compounds, including four triterpenoids,zeorin (1), 16β-acetoxyhopane-6α,22-diol (2), retigeric acid A (3), retigeric acid B (4), togetherwith two steroids, ergosterol-5α,8α-peroxide (5) and cerevisterol (6). Their chemical structureswere elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with those reported in theliterature. The cytotoxic activities of some compounds against liver hepatocellular carcinoma(HepG2), human lung cancer (NCI-H460), human epithelial carcinoma (HeLa) and humanbreast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines were evaluated. Compound 2 exhibited good cytotoxicityagainst MCF-7 cancer cell line with IC50 value of 21.10 μg/mL. This is the first time compounds(1), (2), (6) are reported in the Lobaria genus.

Introduction: Dendriscosticta is a new genus belong the Sticta wrightii group of the family Lobariaceae. This genus of foliose lichen is widely distributed in tropical regions worldwide. The lichen Dendriscosticta platyphylloides is very abundant in Bidoup forest, Lam Dong province, Vietnam. Methods: The structure of these compounds was elucidated through the interpretation of their 1D and 2D-NMR and HR-MS data. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds against liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), human lung cancer (NCI-H460), human epithelial carcinoma (HeLa) and human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines was performed at the concentration of 100 mg/mL using the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Results: In this paper, we reported the isolation of six known compounds, including (1) 15a-acetoxyhopan-22-ol (2) hopane-15a,22-diol, (3) zeorin, (4) cerevisterol, (5) salvigenin, and (6) 5-hydroxy-3',4',7-trimethoxyflavone. Conclusion: This is the first time that these compounds are isolated from Dendriscosticta genus. These compounds showed no cytotoxic activity against four cell lines.

Euphorbia tirucalli has not been chemically studied much in Vietnam. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the plant collected in Binh Thuan. Multiple chromatographic methods were applied, including normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography.

Patrinia scabiosaefolia is a medical and edible Chinese herb with high nutritional and medicinal value. The continuing study of its chemical constituents led to the discovery of nine unique iridoids and iridoid glycosides, including three new iridoids (1-3) and six previously unknown irioid glycosides (5-10), and one known compound (4). Among them, compound 1 was a deformed iridoid, while compounds 3, 5-7, and 10 formed a new ring in their skeletons which was uncommon in this genus. For compound 3, the new ring existed between C-3 and C-10, while a 1,3-dioxane appeared between C-7 and C-10 in compounds 5-7 and 10. Moreover, compound 10 was a bis-iridoid glycoside, which was the first reported in P. scabiosaefolia. And the sugar of irioid glycosides (5-10) was glucose at C-11, except in 9 which had a 5-deoxyglucose moiety. All their structures were confirmed based on the extensive spectroscopic analysis, including IR, UV, HR-ESI-MS, ECD, and 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments. Their cytotoxic activities against HL-60, A-549, SMMC-7721, MCF-7, SW480 were also tested.

Introduction: Euphorbia tirucalli L. is a medicinal plant popularly distributed in Asian countries. In Vietnam, only one study on the polar extract the plant Euphorbia tirucalli growing in Binh Thuan province, Vietnam was reported, revealing several phenolic components. As of 2019, no chemical reports on the non-polar extract from the Vietnamese plant were found. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the non-polar extract of E. tirucalli growing in Binh Thuan province. Method: The n-hexane extract of this plant was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and gel chromatography (Sephadex LH-20). Analysis of spectroscopic data and a comparison of the NMR data with that in the literature led to the structural elucidation of isolated compounds. Results: Three terpenoid compounds, euphol (1), lupenone (2), and vomifoliol (3), along with ergosterol peroxide (4), ferulic acid (5), and vanillic acid (6) were isolated and elucidated. Conclusions: Among them, compound 3 and 4 were reported in the first time from E. tirucalli.

(Vietnamese name; L.), which belongs to the family, is an evergreen and perennial tree that is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, leaves of the species are used as an ordinary vegetable in many regions. The aim of this research is to investigate the chemical constituents of G. leaves collected from Lam Dong province, Vietnam. The fresh leaves were collected, dried, cut into small species, and extracted with ethanol to the extract. By using the column chromatography method together with thin layer chromatography on a normal phase silica gel with different solvent systems on the extract of the dried leaves of G. L., we isolated five pure compounds. The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by analyzing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data. The result was confirmed by comparison with publish data including (1), acid (2), acid (3), (4), and (5). To the best of our knowledge, compounds 1-3were isolated from this plant for the first time. This study is to provide a comprehensive overview of of G. , and possibly make recommendations for further research.

Seven compounds (1-7) were isolated from the marine sponge Aaptos aaptos living in the Vietnamese sea. Their structures were determined as 2 hours, 5 H,7 H,9 H-9 S-hydroxy-imidazo[1,5- α]pyridine-1,3-dione (1), 3-([9-methylhexadecyl]oxy)propane-1,2-diol 2, 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dioxoaaptamine (3), indol-3-aldehyde (4), methyl indole-3-carboxylate (5) 4-hydroxy-5-(indole-3-yl)−5-oxo-pentan-2-one (6), and thymidine (7) by extensive analysis of HR-ESI-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectral data, as well as by comparison of the spectral data with those reported in the literature. In addition, the absolute configuration of 1 was determined from the experimental ECD spectrum and comparison of this with the theoretical ECD calculations using the TDDFT method. Compounds 1 and 2 were isolated from nature for the first time. Compound 3 induced cytotoxic activity against SK-LU-1, MCF-7, HepG2, and SK-Mel-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 41.27 ± 2.63, 40.70 ± 2.65, 34.31 ± 3.43, and 36.63 ± 1.40 µM, respectively.
