Two novel spirooliganones A (1) and (2), a pair of spiro carbon epimers, with a rare dioxaspiro skeleton were isolated from the roots of Illicium oligandrum. The structures were fully determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods, especially modified Mosher's method, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Spirooliganone B was found to exhibit more potent activities against coxsackie virus B3 and influenza virus A (H3N2) (IC50 3.70-5.05 μM) than spirooliganone A. The biosynthetic pathway involving a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of the epimers was proposed.

Two undescribed phenylpropenoid glycosides () and one known analogues () have been isolated and identified from the roots of . The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (1 D-, 2 D-NMR, HRESIMS, IR, UV) and chemical methods. The anti-inflammatory activities of all isolates were evaluated by measuring their inhibitory effects on PGE production in LPS stimulated RAW 264.

Natural products (NPs) are very important sources for the development of new drugs. Merrillianone and cycloparvifloralone, isolated from the roots, stems, and fruits of Illicium henryi Diels, are two natural sesquiterpene compounds. In continuation of our effort to discovery more effective neurotrophic compounds from NPs, a series of novel merrillianone/cycloparviforalone based esters 2a-i, 3a-g and 3i-q were prepared and their structures were characterized by H NMR, C NMR and IR spectral analyses.
