Background: Malaria parasites have gradually developed resistance to commonly used antimalarial drugs. For decades, chloroquine was the most widely used drug to eradicate malaria. However, with the spread of chloroquine resistance, many countries have adopted combination therapies that utilize two drugs acting synergistically instead of monotherapy.

Artemyriantholidimers A-G (1-7), seven undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers (GSDs), and 27 known compounds (8-34) were isolated from Artemisia myriantha (Asteraceae). Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated based on the comprehensive analyses of UV, IR, MS, NMR data, quantum chemical NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses, and the absolute configurations were elucidated by ECD calculations. The undescribed GSDs (1-7) were presumably formed via Diels-Alder reactions, and compounds 5-7 were rare GSDs with α-configuration of H-6'.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important component of the skin's extracellular matrix, and its degradation leads to wrinkles. Hyaluronan-binding protein involved in hyaluronan depolymerization (HYBID) is the main factor responsible for HA degradation in dermis. This study aimed to identify natural plant materials that can effectively suppress HYBID expression and protect HA from degradation.
