Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanol extract of the leaves and stems of Illicium simonsii led to the isolation of two new compounds, simonin A (1) and 1-hydroxyl-2- O- β- D-6'-acetyl-glucopyranosyl-4-allylbenzene (2), along with eight known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The isolates were tested for anti-oral microbial activity using a microdilution method. Compounds 1 and 3- 6 showed significant activities against oral microbial organisms (Actinomyces viscosus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, and Actinomyces naeslundii), with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 1.95 to 31.25 µg/mL in vitro.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed physicochemical traits and combustion performances of 15 key economic tree species, finding differences in moisture content, caloric value, and fire resistance among the leaves and branches of these species.
- * The study categorized the trees into three classes based on fire resistance, recommending the use of fire-resistant species for economic forest development and advising careful management of less fire-resistant ones to enhance overall fire prevention.

One undescribed diterpenoid illisimonone A, four undescribed sesquiterpenes named (±)-simonones A, simonterpenoids A and B, and two undescribed lignans, illisimonins A and B, along with five known compounds were isolated from the fruits of Illicium simonsii. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of illisimonone A was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
