A new diterpenoid, 14β-hydroxy-3-oxo-ent-kaur-16-ene (1), and a new nor-lignan, 8S-( - )-8-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoyl)-dihydrofuran-8(8'H)-one (4), along with five known compounds were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Croton kongensis Gagnep. Their isolations were clarified and structures were elucidated by the extensive spectroscopic analyses, especially 2D NMR experiments.

Thirty-two diterpenoids including 18 ent-kauranes (1-6, and 12-23), nine 8,9-seco-ent-kauranes (7-8, and 24-30), four ent-abietanes (9-10, and 31-32), and one crotofolane (11) were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Croton kongensis. The structures of previously unreported crokokaugenoids A-H (1-8), crokoabiegenoids A-B (9-10), and crokocrotogenoid A (11) were determined by spectroscopic data analyses, TDDFT-ECD and GIAO NMR calculations, and X-ray crystallographic studies. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five human tumor cell lines, and the structure-activity relationships were discussed.

The prevalence of obesity and its primary associated comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease, has reached epidemic proportions, with no successful treatment available at present. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), a crucial chaperone, plays a key role in lipogenesis (DNL) by stabilizing and maintaining sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) activity. Kongensin A (KA), derived from , inhibits RIP3-mediated necrosis, showing promise as an anti-necrotic and anti-inflammatory agent.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a lethal malignancy without safe and effective therapeutic drugs. In this study, the anti-TNBC bioassay-guided isolation of the medicinal plant followed by the structural modification led to the construction of a small -kaurane diterpenoid library (-). With subsequent biological screening, 20 highly potent compounds (ICs < 3 μM) were identified.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes diarrhea in pigs leading to severe illnesses and high mortality rates. The development of medicinal agents to treat PEDV infection is therefore crucial. In this study, antiviral activities against PEDV of ethanol and aqueous extracts of 17 Vietnamese traditional medicinal plants were evaluated using the cytopathic effect-based assay.
