Phytochemical investigations of the tubers of Dioscorea bulbifera L. resulted in the isolation of nine norclerodane diterpenoids, including two new compounds, diosbulbins N (1) and P (3), a new naturally occurring compound, diosbulbin O (2), and six known ones, diosbulbins A-D, F and G (4-9). Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods. The absolute stereochemistry of 1 was determined by a modified Mosher's method, and the absolute configuration of 2 was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis with CuKα irradiation. Compounds 1-3 were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines.

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.

One new clerodane-type furanoditerpenoid tinosinoid A (1) and nine new nor-clerodane analogs tinosinoids B-J (2-10) have been isolated from the stems of Tinospora sinensis. The structures of the new compounds with absolute configurations have been elucidated by spectroscopic means, including MS, NMR and ECD techniques, as well as chemical correlation. Compound 1 is a rare sulfur-containing clerodane diterpenoid incorporating a 2-mercaptoethanol unit via a thioether bond, while compounds 4/5 and 9 represent two pairs of unusual equilibrium regioisomers through an interesting intramolecular transesterification.

Fifteen previously undescribed nor-clerodane diterpenoid glucosides tinosinesides C-Q (1-15), along with four known analogues (16-19), were isolated from the stems of Tinospora sinensis. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means, and their absolute configurations were established on the basis of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) based electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation and chemical methods. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), a natural enzyme responsible for the synthesis of HS.

Phytochemical investigation of the leaves and twigs of Croton yanhuii led to the isolation of seven highly modified nor-clerodane diterpenoids (1-7), including three new ones, croyanoids A-C (1-3), along with four known analogues (4-7). Compound 1 incorporates a 5,12-epoxy ring, forming a unique cage-like, 6/6/6/5-fused tetracyclic ring system. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations of 1-4 were determined by a combination of circular dichroism (CD) analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
