To study the chemical constituents of Fritillaria monanth Migo, the constituents were separated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, and the structures were identified by NMR, MS spectral data. Six compounds were isolated and identified as ent-kauran-15-en-17-ol (I), entkauran-15-en-3alpha, 17-diol (II), fritillaziebinol (III), ent-kauran-16a, 17-diol (IV), ent-kauran-3alpha, 16alpha,17-triol (V), ent-16,17-epoxy-kauran-3alpha-ol (VI). All the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time, and VI is named as ent-16,17-epoxy-kauran-3alpha-ol, which is a new compound.

One new monomeric citrinin analog (1) and 42 known compounds (2-43) were isolated from Penicillium citrinum W22. The structure of 1 was determined by detailed analysis of the 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), HRESIMS, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT)-based electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Penicitrinol A (2) and methyl 2-(2-acetyl-3,5-dihydroxy-4,6-dimethylphenyl) acetate (11) significantly inhibited renin-angiotensin system-selective lethal 3 (RSL3)-induced ferroptosis with half maximal effective concentration (EC) values of 1.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic systemic bone metabolism disorder. Promotion in the patterns of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation towards osteoblasts contributes to alleviating osteoporosis. Aucubin, a natural compound isolated from the well-known herbal medicine Eucommia, was previously shown to possess various pharmacological effects.

Parasitic diseases such as trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis pose significant health challenges in Africa. The Senegalese Pharmacopoeia, known for its many medicinal plants with anti-infectious properties, can be a source of antiparasitic natural products. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antiparasitic activities of 33 methanolic extracts from 24 ethnopharmacologically selected plants against Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Leishmania mexicana mexicana, as well as their cytotoxic activities on WI-38 cells.

Marine red alga Laurencia composita was collected from seven sampling locations in Japan, and all samples were identified based on morphological studies as well as rbcL sequencing analysis. This is the first report of the isolation of (-)-8-bromo-9-hydroxy-(E)-γ-bisabolene (1) as a natural product, and bisabolene-type and β-chamigrene-type sesquiterpenes found in L. composita collected in Japan.

Natural products (NPs) play a crucial role in drug discovery, with over 30% of recent FDA-approved drugs derived from them. Plants from the genus Goniothalamus, belonging to the Annonaceae family, have garnered significant interest as potential sources of active lead compounds. Over the past five decades, researchers have isolated 357 compounds from Goniothalamus species (GCs), which exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties, including cytotoxicity, antibacterial, antifungal, antiplasmodial, antioxidant, and other activities.
