Four new flavonoids, 3'-formyl-4',6',4-trihydroxy-2'-methoxy-5'-methylchalcone (1), 3'-formyl-6',4-dihydroxy-2'-methoxy-5'-methylchalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), (2S)-8-formyl-6-methylnaringenin (3), and (2S)-8-formyl-6-methylnaringenin 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) were isolated from the buds of Cleistocalyx operculatus (Myrtaceae). The structures of the new metabolites (1-4) were determined on the basic of spectroscopic analyses including 2 dimensional NMR. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibited 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity with IC(50) values of 22.8 and 27.1 microM, respectively.

A dereplication strategy guided by H-NMR and molecular networking resulted in the isolation of two unusual phloroglucinols [(±)-1 and (±)-2], which possess a rare decahydro-2H-cyclopenta[i]chromene skeleton, along with five undescribed phloroglucinol meroterpenoids [(±)-3-(±)-7] from the buds of Cleistocalyx operculatus. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, ECD, X-ray crystallography, and DP4+ probability calculations. Compounds (±)-1-(±)-7 were naturally found as enantiomeric pairs, which were successfully separated using chiral phase HPLC.

The building blocks-based molecular network (BBMN) strategy was applied to the phytochemical investigation of , leading to the targeted isolation of eighteen novel cinnamoylphloroglucinol-terpene adducts (CPTAs) with diverse skeleton types (cleistoperones A-R, -). Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods, quantum chemical calculations, and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic experiments. Cleistoperone A (), consisting of a cinnamoylphloroglucinol motif and two linear monoterpene moieties, represents an unprecedented macrocyclic CPTA, whose densely functionalized tricyclo[15.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed six solvent fractions from ethanolic extracts of flower buds and leaves for their phytochemical contents and antioxidant activities, revealing that the flower bud aqueous fraction (BAF) had the highest phenolic content and antioxidant capacity.
- - The flower bud hexane fraction (BHF) and leaf hexane fraction (LHF) showed notable antibacterial properties, particularly against specific bacterial strains, with DMC from BHF exhibiting even stronger antibacterial activity than the fractions.
- - DMC demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on urease and α-amylase but no effect on α-glucosidase, suggesting potential for developing natural treatments for gastric infections with minimal toxicity to human cells.
