Four previously unreported sesquiterpenoid diasteromers, arteannoides U–X (1–4), together with one new norsesquiterpenoid 5 (arteannoide Y) and one undescribed rearranged cadinene sesquiterpenoid 6 (arteannoide Z) were obtained from the dried aerial parts of Artemisia annua (Qinghao). Notably, arteannoides U–X (1–4) are four stereoisomers that possess the same molecules and the same planar connectivity, but differ from each other in configuration at a certain stereocenter. Their accurate structures were unambiguously identified and distinguished by extensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR calculations with DP4+ analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and X-ray diffraction analyses. Compounds 1, 3, and 4 showed inhibitory activities against the production of inflammatory cytokines (PGE2, NO, IL-6 and TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Chemical constituents were isolated and purified from the water extract of Artemisia annua by column chromatography of HP-20 macroporous resin, silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20, HW-40, and semi-preparative RP-HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analyses. As a result, Fifteen compounds were isolated and identified as vitexnegheteroin M(1), sibricose A5(2), securoside A(3), citrusin D(4), annphenone(5), E-melilotoside(6), esculetin(7), scopoletin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(8), eleutheroside B_1(9), chrysosplenol D(10), patuletin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(11), quercetin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(12), rutin(13), apigenin 6,8-di-C-β-D-glucopyranoside(14), isoschaftoside(15), among them, compounds 1-4 were identified from Artemisia for the first time. Additionally, the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on the production of PGE_2 in LPS-simulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The results showed that compounds 1, 2, 8, and 10-15 could reduce PGE_2 levels, to a certain extent.

Thirteen new sesquiterpenoids, arteannoides F–R (1–13), along with 13 known analogues (14–26), were isolated from the dried aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were unambiguously determined by a combination of physical data analyses (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD) as well as the crystal structures of 1, 5, 6, 15, 19, and 23. Among the isolated compounds, 1 features an unusual 11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.04,9]undecan-2-ene ring system, 5 possesses an uncommon 4,11-ether bridged tricyclic framework, whereas 6 is a new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoid formed via rearrangement of its carbon backbone. The systemically anti-inflammatory activities of all isolates were evaluated by measuring their inhibitory effects on PGE2, NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Moreover, the structure activity relationships of some compounds are summarized, this study will provide new structural templates for discovering potential anti-inflammatory agents.

Five new meroterpenoids, zizhines P-S and U (1−4,7), together with two known meroterpenoids (5 and 6) were isolated from Ganoderma sinensis. Their structures including absolute configurations were assigned by using spectroscopic, computational, and chemical methods. Racemics zizhines P and Q were purified by HPLC on chiral phase. Biological evaluation found that 4, 5 and 6 are cytotoxic toward human cancer cells (A549, BGC-823, Kyse30) with IC50 values in the range of 63.43–80.83 μM towards A549, 59.2 ± 2.73 μM and 64.25 ± 0.37 μM towards BGC-823, 76.28 ± 1.93 μM and 85.42 ± 2.82 μM towards Kyse30.

Two new octanorlanostane-type triterpenes, euphraticanoids A and B (1 and 2), two new trinorsesquiterpenoids, euphraticanoids C and D (3 and 4), and eight known triterpenoids (5, 6, 8–13) along with one steroid (7) were isolated from Populus euphratica resins. The structures of these new compounds, including their absolute configurations, were characterized by spectrocsopic, chemical, and computational methods. Biological evaluation revealed that compounds 4, 7–9, 12, and 13 display neuroprotective activities in H2O2-induced HT-22 cells with 4, 8, and 9 occurring in a concentration-dependent manner and 7, 12, and 13 reaching the maximum effects at 20 μM. Meanwhile, the neuroprotective properties of all isolates were accessed using glutamate-induced SH-SY5Y cells and disclosed that compounds 3, 4, 8, and 9 could dose-dependently protect neural cell injury in a concentration range of 10–40 μM. Finally, a brief structure–activity relationship was briefly discussed.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs

As a commonly used Chinese materia medica, Artemisia annua mainly contains sesquiterpenoids, diterpenes, phenylpropionic acids, coumarins, flavonoids, volatile oil, and other chemical compositions. Its pharmacological activities are anti-malaria, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulation and so on. The significantly anti-malarial activity has led to its earlier use in the treatment of malaria. In this paper, the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of A. annua in recent years are reviewed in order to provide a reference for the further development and rational utilization of this plant resource. © 2019, Editorial Office of Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs.

Lonimacranaldes A and B (1 and 2), along with one biogenetically related intermediate, lonimacranalde C (3), were isolated from the flower buds of Lonicera macranthoides. Characterized by an iridoid structure and an additional C-6 unit with an aldehyde group, compounds 1 and 2 are the first examples of hybrid iridoids possessing an unexpected 6/5/6 fused tricyclic ring system, while compound 3 serves as an important precursor for their generation. The structures of lonimacranaldes A-C (1-3) were revealed by extensive spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses. A plausible biogenetic pathway for them was proposed. Compound 3 showed anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting the production of IL-6 on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 value of 6.33 μM.

Two new cembrane diterpenoids, named populeuphrines A and B (1 and 2), together with three known analogues (3–5) were isolated from the resins of Populus euphratica. The planar structures and relative configurations of 1 and 2 were elucidated by detailed 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and quantum chemical computation. Biological activities of all the isolates against proliferation of human cancer cells and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were evaluated.

... As previously reported, tumour heterogeneity plays a critical role in therapeutic resistance due to the presence of cancer cells with distinct features, such as CSCs. Previous studies have reported the ability of marine natural products to impact the development of these type of malignant cells, such as polysaccharides [71], carotenoids [72], and terpenes [38,[73][74][75]. Those compounds decreased viability, number, and area of CSCs-enriched tumourspheres derived from distinct tissues, and modulated the expression levels of several genes/ proteins linked with stemness properties such as SOX2, Oct4 and Nanog. ...
