Microbial transformation of clerodane lactone (1) by a plant pathogen fungus, Rhizopus stolonifer, resulted in the production of metabolites 3 and 4. While incubation of clerodane methyl ester (2) by R. stolonifer yielded metabolites 5-8. The structures of the transformed products were determined by the spectroscopic techniques and compounds 4, 7 and 8 were found. The antibacterial activity of clerodane diterpenoids 1 and 2 and their metabolites 3-8 were also studied. The metabolites 3-7 showed moderate activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. While metabolite 8 showed a moderate activity against Gram-positive organisms and a good activity against Gram-negative organisms.

Teucrifarides A-D (1-4), four previously unreported neo-clerodane-type diterpenoids, combined with sixteen known analogs (5-20), were purified from Teucrium quadrifarium. The absolute forma of compounds 1-4 were determined via spectroscopic and ECD calculation methods, together with X-ray crystallography experiments. Among them, compound 1 possessed a 5,20-epoxy ring featuring a unique cage-like 12-oxatricyclo [5.

Article Synopsis
- Improper use of antibiotics is creating "superbugs" that resist treatment, outpacing new antibiotic discovery.
- A new screening method using a nanoliter matrix SlipChip (nm-SlipChip) allows for rapid testing of potential antibiotics, reducing sample consumption significantly.
- This method successfully identified two novel compounds from the plant Callicarpa integerrima that can combat MRSA, highlighting its potential in tackling antibiotic resistance.

Two new nor-ent-halimane diterpenes and three previously unreported nor-clerodane diterpenes, designated callicaintides A-E (1-5), were isolated from Callicarpa integerrima. Compounds 1 and 2 feature a distinctive 5/6-membered ring system, while compounds 3-5 are characterized by progressively truncated carbon skeletons, containing 18, 17, and 16 carbons, respectively. In addition, four known compounds 6-9 were also identified.
