Article Synopsis
  • - Fourteen new terpenoids, named plagicosins A-N, were discovered from the Chinese liverwort *Mitt*, including seven sesquiterpenoids and seven diterpenoids.
  • - The structures of these terpenoids were identified using mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD).
  • - Plagicosin F showed strong antivirulence effects by disrupting processes like hyphal morphogenesis and biofilm formation in certain fungi, influencing specific genes related to hyphal development.

Six previously undescribed labdane diterpenoids, frullanians A-F, along with five known diterpenoids, were isolated from the Chinese liverwort Frullania hamatiloba Stephani. Their structures were determined using NMR data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations as well as the single crystal X-ray diffraction measurement. NAD(P)H: QR (quinone reductase) assay demonstrated that frullanian D and four known compounds displayed antioxidant effect mediated via Nrf2 (Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2) induction.
