Microbial transformation of licochalcones B (1), C (2), D (3), and H (4) using the filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger and Mucor hiemalis was investigated. Fungal transformation of the licochalcones followed by chromatographic separations led to the isolation of ten new compounds 5–14, including one hydrogenated, three dihydroxylated, three expoxidized, and three glucosylated metabolites. Their structures were elucidated by combined analyses of UV, IR, MS, NMR, and CD spectroscopic data. Absolute configurations of the 2″,3″-diols in the three dihydroxylated metabolites were determined by ECD experiments according to the Snatzke’s method. The trans-cis isomerization was observed for the metabolites 7, 11, 13, and 14 as evidenced by the analysis of their 1H-NMR spectra and HPLC chromatograms. This could be useful in better understanding of the trans-cis isomerization mechanism of retrochalcones. The fungal transformation described herein also provides an effective method to expand the structural diversity of retrochalcones for further biological studies.

From the aerial parts of Glochidion eriocarpum, a new triterpene, glochieriol (1), three new triterpenoid saponins, glochieriosides C - E (2 - 4), together with four known triterpenes (glochidonol, glochidiol, lupeol, and 3- epi-lupeol) were isolated by using combined chromatographic separations. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including FTICR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR.

Filamentous fungi are known to biosynthesize an extraordinary range of azaphilones pigments with structural diversity and advantages over vegetal-derived colored natural products such agile and simple cultivation in the lab, acceptance of low-cost substrates, speed yield improvement, and ease of downstream processing. Modern genetic engineering allows industrial production, providing pigments with higher thermostability, water-solubility, and promising bioactivities combined with ecological functions. This review, covering the literature from 2020 onwards, focuses on the state-of-the-art of azaphilone dyes, the global market scenario, new compounds isolated in the period with respective biological activities, and biosynthetic pathways. Furthermore, we discussed the innovations of azaphilone cultivation and extraction techniques, as well as in yield improvement and scale-up. Potential applications in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and textile industries were also explored.

The structures 4′,5-dihydroxy-2′,3,7,8-tetramethoxyflavone and 5-hydroxy-2′,3,4′,7,8-penta-methoxyflavone have been attributed to two new compounds isolated from a farinose exudate of Notholaenaaffinis; this result is derived from uv, ms, and nmr spectra of the natural products and their derivatives.

H2 reacts with [Ir{(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]Cl · 3 C6H6 (1) to give cis-[Ir(H)2{(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]Cl · CH2Cl2 (2a). By reaction of 2a with NaBPh4 cis-[Ir(H)2{(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]BPh4 (2 b) is obtained. Refluxing of 2a in CH2Cl2 yields trans-[lr(H)2{(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]Cl · 1/2 CH2Cl2 (3a), which undegoes metatheses with NaBPh4 to trans-[Ir(H)2{(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]BPh4 (3b). 3a is also formed by refluxing of 1 in methanol in the presence of oxygen. Oxidative addition of HCl to 1 and reaction with NaBPh4 yields trans-[Ir(H)(Cl){(Ph2P)2N-p-C6H4CH3}2]BPh4 (4b). The new compounds are characterised by their IR, Raman, 31P{1H} PFT and 1H NMR Spectra

Four compounds viz α-amyrin, β- amyrin, bauerenol and ellagic acid were isolated from the methanolic extract of Rotula aquatica roots. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis and chemical evidence. The extract was evaluated for hepatoprotective activity against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxic model at a dose levels of 200,400 and 800 mg/ kg body weight and compared with that of the standard silymarin (25mg/kg body weight). It showed good hepatoprotective activity in a dose dependent manner. The extract was also screened for antimicrobial activity against various types of organisms like bacteria and fungi.

Reactions of pentamethylantimony (CH3)5Sb with carboxylic acids in the molar ratio 1:2 afford one equivalent of methane and essentially quantitative yields of crystalline tetramothylstibonium hydrogendicarboxylates. Six new compounds of this series have been synthesized using benzoic, o-phthalic, salicylic, 4-ethoxy-salicylic, oxalic, and malic acid, and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic data. An ionic structure with strong hydrogen bonds in the anionic components is proposed.The crystal structures of the hydrogen-dibenzoato (1), hydrogen-ortho-plithalato (2) and 4-ethoxy-hydrogen-salicylate (3) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds can be described as having ionic lattices with some donor-acceptor inter­actions between the stibonium centers and the carboxylate oxygen atoms. The anions are characterized by strong hydrogen bonds O...H...O. Thus, the (CH3)4Sb-tetrahedron in 1 is distorted by two benzoate oxygon atoms (at 304(2) and 340(2) pin). The cation in 2 is largely undistorted and the anion has a hydrogenphthalate hydrogen bond of d(O...H...O) = 232 pm. The cation-anion contact in 3 is as short as d(Sb-O) = 289 pm rendering the Sb atom pentacoordinate.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the new compounds 3a and 5a to 9a as well as the single crystal X-ray structures of 1a, 4a, 5a, 7a, 8a, and 9a are reported and discussed

A chemical investigation on the EtOAc extracts from two marine-derived fungal strains of Aspergillus unguis resulted in the isolation of three previously undescribed phenolic polyketides including unguidepside C (1), aspersidone B (3), and agonodepside C (12), and their 14 known congeners. The structures of the new compounds were determined based on detailed analysis and comparison of their spectroscopic data with literature values, as well as Snatzke’s method. The new compounds (1, 3, and 12) displayed a significant anti-Gram-positive bacterial activity, with MIC values ranging from 5.3 to 22.1 µM. Additionally, the isolated compounds (1–11 and 13–16) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against a panel of tumor cell lines. Most of them (except for 9) displayed cytotoxicity against all the tested cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.5 to 46.9 µM.

NMR- and MS-guided metabolomic mining for new phytoconstituents from a widely used dietary supplement, <i>Rhodiola rosea</i>, yielded two new (+)-myrtenol glycosides, <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>, and two new cuminol glycosides (<b>3</b> and <b>4</b>), along with three known analogues (<b>5</b>–<b>7</b>). The structures of the new compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Quantum Mechanics-driven <sup>1</sup>H iterative Full Spin Analysis (QM-HiFSA) decoded the spatial arrangement of the methyl groups in <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>, as well as other features not recognizable by conventional methods, including higher order spin-coupling effects. The application of QM-HiFSA will provide a definitive reference point for future phytochemical and biological studies of <i>R. rosea</i> as a resilience botanical. Application of a new NMR data analysis software package, CT, for QM-based iteration of NMR spectra is also discussed.
