Two novel sesterterpenoids, leucosesterterpenone (1) and leucosesterlactone (2), with novel skeleta were isolated from the hexane extract of the medicinal plant, Leucosceptrum canum. Their structures were established by the analysis of NMR data and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction of compound 1. Compounds 1 and 2 were found to exhibit activity against prolylendopeptidase (PEP).

Ten undescribed leucosceptrane-type sesterterpenoids with antipodal cyclopentenone moieties were isolated from the leaves of Leucosceptrum canum. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses (including 1D and 2D NMR, and HRMS) and ECD calculations. In vitro immunosuppressive effects of these sesterterpenoids against the proliferation of T cells and the secretion of cytokine IFN-γ were evaluated.

Phytochemical investigation on the leaves of Tibetan Leucosceptrum canum, a Chinese medicinal herb, led to the isolation of seven new leucosceptrane sesterterpenoids (1-7) and five known analogs (8-12). Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis (including 1D and 2D NMR, and HRMS), quantum chemistry computations, and single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis were applied to elucidate their structures. Compounds 1-3 and 6 were the first examples of the leucosceptrane sesterterpenoids with rare C-2 oxidation.

Five undescribed leucosesterterpane sesterterpenoids, leucosceptrines A-E, two undescribed penta-nor-leucosesterterpane (C) sesterterpenoids, nor-leucosceptrines A and B, and three known analogues, were obtained from the aerial parts of Leucosceptrum canum of Chinese origin. Leucosceptrines A-C are the first examples of leucosesterterpane-type sesterterpenoids with unclosed dihydropyran rings and reverse configurations at chiral centers C-4 and/or C-12. Nor-leucosceptrines A and B possesses an unusual penta-nor-leucosesterterpane skeleton.

An unusual pyridine-containing sesterterpenoid, leucosceptrodine (1), and five new -leucosceptrane sesterterpenoids, including - (C, 2), - (C, 3) and - (C, 4-6) skeletons, were isolated from the leaves of Tibetan . Their structures including their absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and quantum chemical calculations. A single crystal of one epimer (5) was crystallized from a pair of inseparable epimers, and its structure including its absolute configuration was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Leucosceptrum canum nectar (LCN) emerges as a novel food resource, distinguished by its unique dark brown hue. This study delves into the composition and toxicity assessment of novel pigments within LCN. Through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and chemical synthesis, seventeen 2,5-di-(N-(-)-prolyl)-para-benzoquinone (DPBQ) analogs in LCN were identified.
