Thirty-two enmein-type ent-kaurane diterpenoids, including 13 new compounds, were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon phyllostachys. Compounds 1 and 2 are the first examples of 3,20:6,20-diepoxyenmein-type ent-kauranoids, and the structures of these new compounds were established mainly by analyzing NMR and HREIMS data. The absolute configurations of 1 and 8 and the relative configuration of 9 were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 11, 15, 20, and 21 were active against five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW-480), with IC50 values ranging from 1.2 to 5.0 μM. Compounds 3, 11, 15, 17, 20, 21, 25, and 29 strongly inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.74 to 4.93 μM.

Article Synopsis
- Ent-kauranoids are complex natural products with diverse structures and biological activities, making them valuable for testing synthetic methods.
- Recent advances in synthesis have successfully produced enmein-type ent-kauranoids like (-)-macrocalyxoformins A and B and (-)-ludongnin C, overcoming significant challenges in creating highly oxidized versions.
- The innovative synthesis strategy involves a Ni-catalyzed cascade reaction that creates a THF ring and β-keto ester, and studies show that the presence of a ketone on the D ring is crucial for their anti-tumor effectiveness.

Natural products (NPs) are always the important sources in the field of drug discovery, among which spirolactone-type and enmein-type compounds exhibit a wide range of biological activities, especially anti-tumor activity. Based on previous studies, the spirolactone-type and enmein-type compounds could be derived from natural oridonin (1) by several chemical reactions. Herein, a series of novel spirolactone-type and enmein-type derivatives with different aryl allyl ester substitutions at their C-14 hydroxyl group were designed and synthesized.

A series of enmein-type diterpenoid amino acid ester derivatives (14-22) were designed and synthesized according to l-alanine-(14-oridonin) ester trifluoroacetate (clinical candidate HAO472). Their antiproliferative activities were tested against SGC-7901, Bel-7402, HL-60, PC-3, A549 and K562 cancer cell lines and L-02 normal liver cells. The results showed that compound 19 possessed the most potent cytotoxicity with IC s at sub-micromolar level against human hepatoma Bel-7402 and chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells and more potent than l-alanine-(14-oridonin) ester (23).

Diterpenoids are important and widely distributed natural compounds with various biological effects, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory and so on. Great efforts have been put in phytochemistry research on diterpenoids. A number of structural modified derivatives and pharmacophore incorporated hybrids were also designed and synthesized with promising therapeutic effects.
