Six new taccalonolides, taccalonolides AT-AY (1-6), and two new withanolides, chantriolides D and E (7 and 8), together with ten known compounds (9-18), have been isolated from whole plants of Tacca chantrieri. The structures, including the absolute configurations of some of the compounds, were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. All compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against five tumor cell lines. Compounds 9, 10, 13-15, and 17 exhibited cytotoxic activity, with IC50 values of 1.13-5.71 µM, while compound 7 showed selective cytotoxicity. The results indicated that taccalonolides with a six-membered lactone moiety located at C-15 and C-24 were devoid of cytotoxicity against five tumor cell lines (> 10 µM).

Traditional plants have played a significant role in human culture and medicine throughout history. These plants have the capability to synthesize a diverse range of chemical compounds that serve essential biological functions. This study's objective was to analyze the phytochemical composition of five traditional plants, namely , , , , and , native to northern Thailand, using LC-QTOF/MS analysis and assess their potential bioactivity through various assays including DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric ion reducing antioxidant power, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoid content.

Inflorescence structure is very diverse and homoplasious, yet the developmental basis of their homoplasy is poorly understood. To gain an understanding of the degree of homology that these diverse structures share, we characterize the developmental morphology and anatomy of various umbellate inflorescences across the monocots and analyzed them in an evolutionary context. To characterize branching order, we characterized the developmental morphology of multiple inflorescences with epi-illumination, and vascular anatomy with Laser Ablation Tomography, a novel high-throughput method to reconstruct three-dimensional vasculature.

Diosgenin is widely distributed in many plants, such as Polygonatum sibiricum, Paris polyphylla, Dioscorea oppositifolia, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Costus speciosus, Tacca chantrieri, which has good anti-tumor activity and preferable effects on preventing atherosclerosis, protecting the heart, treating diabetes, etc. This review combed through the anti-tumor mechanisms of diosgenin encompassing lung, breast, gallbladder, liver, oral cavity, stomach, bladder, bone marrow, etc. Besides, it was discovered that diosgenin mainly exerts its effect by inhibiting tumor cell migration, suppressing tumor cell proliferation and growth, and inducing cell apoptosis.
