4-Hydroxypleurogrisein, a congener of the anticancer-lead compound pleurotin, as well as six further derivatives were isolated from the basidiomycete Hohenbuehelia grisea, strain MFLUCC 12-0451. The structures were elucidated utilizing high resolution electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data and evaluated for their biological activities; for leucopleurotin, we provide Xray data. While most congeners showed moderate antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity, 4-hydroxypleurogrisein emerged as an inhibitor of hepatitis C virus infectivity in mammalian liver cells.

Abstract This work is aiming at the preparation of new bioactive compounds from α-pinene as starting material. To this purpose, the intermediates (disubstituted phenyl acylamino thioureas, class G) were cyclized to dithiadiazoles (class H). The intermediates and target compounds were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The bioassay experiments showed that the compounds G and H have herbicidal, fungicidal, and plant growth-regulating activities. The compounds 2,2′-dimethylphenyl thiadiazole and 3,3′-dimethylphenyl thiadiazole exhibited a growth inhibition activity of 72% and 68% against the root of rape (Brassica campestris L.) at a concentration of 100 μg ml-1 (60–79% inhibition level). The compound 4,4′-dichlorophenyl acylamino thiourea displayed an inhibition activity of 75% against Physalospora piricola at a concentration level of 50 μg ml-1 (60–79% inhibition level).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection is recognized as the major cause of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). Its persistence represents a continuous stimulus for host immune system with production of circulating immune complexes (ICs), one-third of them with cryoprecipitate property. Several factors contribute to the biological activities of ICs, many of which are not completely known. Among them, complement factors play a crucial role in the cold-insoluble ICs-mediated vasculitis, involving primarily small blood vessels in different tissues including skin, kidney, peripheral, and central nervous system. Liver represents the major target of HCV infection with inflammatory infiltrates, resembling secondary lymphoid follicles. Cytokine like CXCL13 contribute to B-cell homing in intraportal lymphoid aggregates, in which B-cell clonal selection may arise. B-cell clonal expansion starts as an antigen-driven event and expands towards indolent and malignant B-cell proliferation. Occurrence of intrahepatic B-cell clonalities correlates with extrahepatic clinical manifestations of HCV infection. In this context, cryoglobulinemic patients should be considered a peculiar HCV-infected population that needs a clinical multidisciplinary approach and more articulated therapeutic measures.

A new cembranolide diterpene, sarcophytonolide V (1), along with 6 known compounds, isosarcophytonolide D (2), (4 Z,8 S*,9 R*,12 E,14 E)-9-hydroxy-1-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-8,12-dimethyl-oxabicyclo[9.3.2]-hexadeca-4,12,14-trien-18-one (3), (7 E,11 E)-3,4-epoxy-7,11,15-cembratriene (4), (1 S*,3 S*,4 S*,7 E,11 E)-3,4-epoxy-13-oxo-7,11,15-cembratriene (5), (-)-eunicenone (6), and 2-[( E, E, E)-7′,8′-epoxy-4′,8′,12′-trimethylcyclotetradeca-1′,3′,11′-trienyl]propan-2-ol (7) were isolated from the Bornean soft coral Sarcophyton sp. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution electron spray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS). These compounds were evaluated for their biological activity against marine pathogenic fungi.

Eupholathone, a minor diterpenoid with an unusual tetracyclic skeleton, was obtained from the seeds of Euphorbia lathyris, along with two known lathyrane diterpenoids, euphorbia factors L2 and L3. The structure of eupholathone was elucidated by detailed interpretation of its spectroscopic data, especially two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
