Eleven prenylated C(6)-C(3) compounds, illioliganpyranone A (1), illioliganfunone A-D (2-5), and illioliganone D-I (6-11), together with five known prenylated C(6)-C(3) compounds (12-16), were isolated from roots of Illicium oligandrum. The structures of 1-11 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and CD experiments. Possible biosynthetic pathways to compounds 1-16 derived from a common precursor of 5-allylbenzene-1,2,4-triol were postulated. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines (HCT-8, Bel-7402, BGC-823, A549 and A2780). Compound 15 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against HCT-8, BGC-823, A549, and A2780 cell lines with IC(50) values of 0.30-2.57 μM. Compound 16 showed moderate selective cytotoxicity against sensitive A2780 cells with IC(50) value of 1.38 μM.

Thirty-six compounds were isolated from extract of the stem bark of Illicium burmanicum, including twelve previously undescribed prenylated C6-C3 compounds and a norsesquiterpene lactone: illicidione D (1), illicidione E (2), illicidione F (3), illicidione G (4), (2R,4S,11R)-12-O-ethylillifunone C (5), (2R,4S,11R)-illifunone C-12-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (6), (2R,4S,11R)-2-hydroxyillifunone C (7), 4-epi-2,3-dehydroillifunone C (8), illiburmanone A (9), illiburmanone B (10), illiburmanlactone A (11), (2S,4S,5S,11R)-2,3-dihydroillicione E (12), and illiburmanolside A (13). Their structures were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data analyses, including MS, NMR, and ECD spectra. The anti-inflammatory activity of the isolated compounds (1-36) was evaluated, and compounds 7, 12, 14, and 18 exhibited inhibitory effects in RAW 264.

Two new seco-prezizaane-type sesquiterpenes, 2β-hydroxy-6-deoxyneoanisatin (1) and 3,4-anhydro-2-oxo-1α-hydroxy-6-deoxyneoanisatin (2), and two new prenylated C -C compounds, illilanceofunones A (3) and B (4), were obtained from the fruits of Illicium lanceolatum, along with four known prenylated C -C compounds (5-8). Their structures were proposed through HR-ESI-MS, H, C, and 2D NMR data interpretation. Moreover, the absolute configuration of 1 and 2 were further assigned by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, respectively.

The UbiX-UbiD enzymes are widespread in microbes, acting in concert to decarboxylate alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acids using a highly modified flavin cofactor, prenylated FMN (prFMN). UbiX serves as the flavin prenyltransferase, extending the isoalloxazine ring system with a fourth non-aromatic ring, derived from sequential linkage between a dimethylallyl moiety and the FMN N5 and C6. Using structure determination and solution studies of both dimethylallyl monophosphate (DMAP) and dimethyallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) dependent UbiX enzymes, we reveal the first step, N5-C1' bond formation, is contingent on the presence of a dimethylallyl substrate moiety.
