Two new resveratrol tetramers, hopeaphenol A (1) and isohopeaphenol A (2), along with the known vaticaphenol A (3), were isolated from the stem bark of Vatica oblongifolia ssp. oblongifolia through bioassay-guided fractionation. The structures and their relative stereochemistry were determined by spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 1 and 3 demonstrated moderate activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

A key strategy to mitigate postprandial hyperglycemia involves inhibiting α-amylases, which commence the starch digestion process in the gut. This study examined the inhibitory effects of resveratrol and stilbenoid tetramers, vaticanol B, (-)-hopeaphenol, and vatalbinoside A on human salivary and pancreatic α-amylases experimentally and through molecular docking studies. Vaticanol B demonstrated the most potent inhibition with IC values of 5.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the antiproliferative activity of ethanolic extracts from mycelium using vineyard pruning waste (VPW) as elicitors, highlighting the presence of bioactive compounds like resveratrol and fatty acids.
- Different extracts were analyzed for their potential to enhance bioactive compound production, with specific compounds showing significant correlation with biomass yield.
- Results indicate that the ethanolic extracts demonstrate antiproliferative effects against certain cancer cell lines, while molecular docking suggests significant interactions with tumor necrotic factor, making these extracts promising for pharmacological applications.

In tropical Southeast Asia, is the most economically important tree and the largest genus in the Dipterocarpaceae family. It comprises about 150-200 species, of which majority are distributed in Malaysia, with others found in Sumatra and Borneo (Kalimantan) in Indonesia. Research on the chemical constituents of plants has been ongoing for many years.
