Background: Due to resistance to all classes of anti-HIV drugs and drug toxicity, there is a need for the discovery and development of new anti-HIV drugs.
Methods: HIV-1 inhibitors were identified and biologically characterized for mechanism of action.
Results: We identified a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan, termed HDS2 that possessed anti-HIV activity against a wide variety of viral strains with EC50 values in the 1-3 µM range. HDS2 was shown to act as an NNRTI by qPCR and in vitro enzyme assays.
Conclusions: This compound provides a new scaffold for further optimization of activity through structure-guided design.

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a critical condition with high mortality caused by acute blood loss. Cardiac injury and dysfunction induced by HS is a major factor associated with the poor prognosis of affected patients. Schisandrin A (Sch A), a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan extracted from , exhibits multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

The phytochemical investigations on the fruits of Kadsura coccinea led to the isolation of six undescribed dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans named kadcolignans B-G, together with eleven previously described analogues. The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic methods including NMR, HRESIMS, and CD experiments. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their hepatoprotective activity by measuring the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in FFA-induced HepG2 cells.

The fading efficacy of antibiotics is a growing global health concern due to its life-threatening consequences and increased healthcare costs. Non-genetic mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, such as those employed by Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia trachomatis, complicate treatment as these bacteria can enter a non-replicative, persistent state under stress, evading antibiotics and linking to inflammatory conditions. Understanding chlamydial persistence at the molecular level is challenging, and new models for studying Chlamydia-host interactions in vivo are urgently needed.

A chemical investigation of K. heteroclite led to isolation of two new dibenzocyclooctadienes (1 and 2) together with 14 known compounds (3-16) by using multiple chromatographic techniques. New compounds (1 and 2) were obtained and identified by spectroscopic methods (HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD) as well as by comparison of their experimental data with those reported in the literatures.
