Three new compounds, goldfussins A (1) and B (2) and goldfussinol (3), and sixteen known compounds were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the whole plants of Goldfussia psilostachys. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated as a novel cadinane sesquiterpene, 1,8-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-9-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydronaphtho[2,1- b]furan (1), a novel norcadinane sesquiterpene, 4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene (2) and methyl 3-hydroxy-2-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propanoate (3) on the basis of spectral data.

The fruit of Miq is an important food spice in southern China and has been used in the treatment of kidney disorders for centuries. In order to discover the natural products with potent renoprotective activities in and provide some references for its usage, systematic phytochemical studies were carried out and 24 new diverse sesquiterpenoids, including seven guaiane sesquiterpenoids (-), 10 eudesmane sesquiterpenoids (-, , , and -), six cadinane sesquiterpenoids (- and ), and an eremophilane sesquiterpenoid (), along with 24 known analogues were isolated and elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data and quantum-chemical calculations. Biological evaluation showed that 6 sesquiterpenoids could significantly inhibit the expression of extracellular matrix components, α-SMA in TGF-β1 induced kidney proximal tubular cells (NRK-52e) at low concentrations, and 9 sesquiterpenoids could also downregulate fibronectin and collagen I in a concentration-dependent manner, showing their potential in renal fibrosis.

Ten new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids, named hibisceusins I-R (-), along with 14 known sesquiterpenoids (-), were acquired from the tainted stems of . Their structures were identified via spectroscopic analysis, one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR, and computer-assisted structure elucidation techniques, including infrared (IR) and mass spectrometry (MS) data. Additionally, subsequent DP4/DP4+ probability methods were used to resolve 's relative configurations by comparing their experimental values to the predicted NMR data.

[4 + 2] cycloaddition has led to diverse polycyclic chiral architectures, serving as novel sources for organic synthesis and biological exploration. Here, an unprecedented class of cadinane sesquiterpene [4 + 2] dimers, henryinins A-E (1-5), with a unique 6/6/6/6/6-fused pentacyclic system, were isolated from . The divergent total syntheses of compounds 1-5 and their enantiomers (6-10) were concisely accomplished in eight linear steps using a protection-free approach.
