Two new fusarochromanone derivatives, deacetylfusarochromene () and deacetamidofusarochrom-2',3-diene (), along with the previously reported metabolites fusarochromanone TDP-2 (), fusarochromene (), 2,2-dimethyl-5-amino-6-(2'-ene-4'-hydroxylbutyryl)-4-chromone (), fusarochromanone (), (-)-chrysogine (), and equisetin (), were isolated from the marine fungus UBOCC-A-117302. The structures of the compounds were determined by extensive spectrometric (HRMS) and spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR) analyses, as well as specific rotation. Among them, and showed inhibition of three protein kinases with IC values ranging from 1.

The Verongida order comprises several sponge families, such as Aplysinellidae, Aplysinidae, Ianthellidae, and Pseudoceratinidae, reported for producing bromotyrosine-derived compounds. First identified in 1913, bromotyrosine derivatives have since captivated interest notably for their antitumor and antimicrobial properties. To date, over 360 bromotyrosine derivatives have been reported.

From the aerial parts of , four thymol derivatives (-) were isolated and structurally elucidated by NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. Of which, a new dimeric thymol derivative () was characterized and its absolute configuration was established by electronic circular dichroism quantum method. In addition, the 1D and 2D NMR as well as HR-ESI mass spectral data of were provided for the first time.

Thirty-three natural products were isolated from the aerial parts of Antidesma bunius, Euphorbiaceae, a plant used in Vietnamese traditional medicine against rheumatoid arthritis. All compounds were reported the first time for this species, and nine constituents resembled undescribed natural products, noticeably three coumarinolignans with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane moiety, two cyclopeptides, and two furofuran-type lignans connected with a phenylpropanoid moiety. The individual structures were elucidated by combining NMR and MS data, and their configuration was established by NOESY and ECD experiments and NMR calculations.

Two undescribed rearranged cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids (-), named sinulaketol A-B, together with one new chlorinated steroid (), one new gorgosterol (), one known sesquiterpene (), one known dibromoditerpene () and two known polyhydroxylated steroids (-) were isolated from the soft coral . The structures of these compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Their absolute configurations were also determined by the ECD calculations and DP4+ probability analysis.
