Three new abietane diterpenoids, isoabietenins A-C (1-3), and 13 new ent-kauranoids, tenuifolins A-M (4-16), along with four known compounds (17-20), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon tenuifolius. The structures of the new metabolites were established on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of 1, 15, and 16 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Selected compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against a small panel of human tumor cell lines, and some compounds showed inhibitory effects. Furthermore, several isolates exhibited inhibitory activity against nitric oxide production in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages.

Three new species of (Lamiaceae) from China are described and illustrated, based on both morphological evidence and our recent phylogenomic studies of the genus. , a herbaceous new species known only from the Fanjing Mountain, is shown to be sister to , but they can be easily distinguished by leaf and inflorescence indumentum, calyx teeth shape and corolla tube morphology. , a herbaceous new species collected from the Hengduan Mountains in southwest China, represents a distinct lineage within the genus.

Thirteen new heterodimeric ent-kauranoids, bistenuifolins A-M (1-13), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon tenuifolius. The constituent units of compounds 1-6 were linked by a six-membered dihydropyran ring, while those of compounds 7-11 were joined by a rare single carbon-carbon bond (C-16→C-17'). The constituent units of 12 and 13 were linked via an unusual cyclobutane moiety.
