Eight compounds were isolated from the leaves of Clerodendrum inerme, including one new rearranged abietane diterpene, crolerodendrum B (1). Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic methods including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1-D and 2-DNMR), high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and circular dichroism (CD). The DPPH radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of isolated compounds against MCF7 (breast), HCT116 (colon) and B16F10 (melanoma) cancer cell lines were evaluated. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 exhibited strong DPPH radical-scavenging effects (ED values of 17.6 ± 2.1, 10.1 ± 0.8 and 11.3 ± 0.3 μM, respectively) and 4 showed strong cytotoxicity against the HCT116 cell line (IC = 3.46 ± 0.01 μM).

The genus Salvia is a well-established source of biologically active compounds with beneficial health effects. In this study, we aimed to isolate and structurally characterize novel compounds from Salvia grandifolia and evaluate their cytotoxic activity against human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines. Three new rearranged abietane-type diterpenes, grandifolins A-C (1-3) and a new abietane diterpene, grandifolin D (4), were isolated from the roots of Salvia grandifolia, along with 12 known compounds (5-16).

We report a bioinspired synthesis of microstegiol and biosynthetically related skeleton-rearranged abietane diterpenoids from commercially available carnosic acid. The strategy features a Wagner-Meerwein type methyl migration followed by several cascade transformations, enabling the divergent synthesis of five abietane diterpenoids, including viridoquinone, prattinin A, saprorthoquinone, microstegiol, and 1-deoxyviroxocin.

The asymmetric syntheses of naturally occurring biologically relevant -abietane diterpenoids, (-)-taiwaniaquinone G (), and H () have been reported via a chiral pool strategy starting from commercially available abietic acid. A ring contraction of the middle ring of the [6,6,6]-carbotricyclic abietane diterpenoid core was carried out under the Wolff rearrangement. Finally, the synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H () was completed via a one-pot CAN-mediated oxidative decarboxylation.

We report here the orchestration of molecular ion networking (MoIN) and a set of computationally assisted structural elucidation approaches in the discovery and assignment of a new class of rearranged 4,5--abietane diterpenoids including serra A (), which possesses an unusual 6/6/5/5 fused-ring skeleton system, together with two previously unreported diterpenoids serras B-C (-) and five known compounds were isolated from (). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with computationally assisted structure elucidation tools. , serras A-C (-) bind well to PXR, suggesting their potential role in reducing inflammation.

We report the asymmetric total synthesis of dixiamycin C (1) through the shrewd alliance of the naturally occurring monomer xiamycin A methyl ester (5) and its bromo derivative (31) following a late-stage Buchwald-Macmillan's C-N bond formation via a photoredox electron transfer approach with a less reactive carbazole nitrogen. The key step in the synthesis of monomer xiamycin A methyl ester (5) involves Buchwald's Pd(II)-mediated aerobic dehydrogenative C-N bond formation, Beckmann rearrangement, and -acetylation of an electron-rich aromatic ring of an abietane core.
