Five 3,4-seco-cycloartane triterpenoids were isolated from the stems of Kadsura ananosma, two of which had rearranged 5/6 consecutive carbocycle rings C/D (trivially named ananosins A (1) and B (2)), one had a migrated CH3-18 (named ananosins C (3)), and two were analogs, ananosins D (4) and E (5). Their structures were characterized by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, especially using 2D NMR spectra. A biogenetic pathway to 1 was proposed. These 5 compounds, together with 5 known analogs isolated from the same origin, were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, PANC-1, and SK-BR-3 human cancer cells, but were inactive.

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 145,903 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 94,757 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,042 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 16,552 bp. The genome contains 125 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 transfer RNA genes.

Fourteen new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, ananolignans A-N (1-14), together with five known compounds, were isolated from the seeds of Kadsura ananosma. The structures and absolute configurations of 1-14 were established using a combination of spectroscopic methods including 1D- and 2D-NMR and CD techniques. The biological activity of the isolated lignans was evaluated, and ananolignan F (6) and ananolignan L (12) showed significant neuroprotective effects in an in vitro assay.

Six new triterpene dilactones with a rare rearranged pentacyclic skeleton, longipedlactones K-P (1-6), and seven known analogues (7-13) were isolated from the stems of Kadsura ananosma. Compound 1 was found to possess a unique peroxide bridge between C-1 and C-9 in rings A and B. The structures of these new compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis, especially of their 2D NMR spectra.

Two DNA cleavage agents, meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (1) and isobavachalcone (2) together with the known alpha-ylangene, beta-sitosterol, daucosterol, pentacosane, hexacosanic acid and cerotic acid 1-monoglyceride were isolated from the stem barks of Kadsura ananosma Kerr for the first time. Compounds 1 and 2 showed relaxation of supercoiled DNA to nicked DNA. 1 represented a new structural type of DNA cleavage agent, while 2 was reported to show DNA strand-scission activity for the first time.
