In order to study the chemical constituents of n-butanol fraction of ethanol extract from Chinese agarwood induced by artificial holing, various chromatographic techniques were carried out to isolate compounds, and the structures of compounds were determined through a combined analysis of physicochemical properties and spectroscopic evidence. Seven compounds were obtained and identified as selina-3,11-dien-9,15-diol (1), aquilarone D (2), 5α,6β,7α,8β-tetrahydroxy-2-[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrochromone (3), 6,7-dimethoxy-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]chromone (4), syringin (5), methyl (Z)-p-coumarate (6), and 4'-methoxycinnamic acid (7), among which compound 1 was a new compound and compounds 5-7 were isolated from agarwood for the first time. The bioactivity assay results concluded that compounds 6 and 7 showed certain nematicidal activity against Panagrellus redivivus, and compounds 4, 6 and 7 exhibited cytotoxicity against BEL-7402, SGC-7901 and A549 carcinoma cell lines.

In recent years, some new "Qi-Nan" clones of with the characteristics of easy induction and high-quality agarwood have been obtained, through the cultivation and propagation of grafted seedlings. These clones are used for the intensive production of high-quality agarwood. The speed of resin formation and yield are crucial for the development of the agarwood industry.

Agarwood essential oil is prized for its elegant aroma and pharmacological properties; however, the traditional hydrodistillation method suffers from inefficiencies, constraining the industrial potential of agarwood. We proposed an ultrasonic-assisted laccase synergistic pretreatment technique that enhanced extraction throughput by 70.90 % compared to the traditional method by facilitating pore formation in agarwood and expediting the release of essential oil.

Article Synopsis
- - Agarwood, a valuable resinous wood from Aquilaria and Gyrinops species, is often faked in the market due to its high economic value, raising the need for a reliable authenticity identification method.
- - The study analyzed the microstructure of authentic agarwood and compared it to counterfeit versions, discovering that real agarwood has a distinct resin-filled phloem that fakes lack.
- - Out of 18 commercial samples tested, 10 matched the microstructure of genuine agarwood, but 6 were incomplete in resin filling, highlighting the resinous phloem as a crucial feature for authenticating agarwood in trade and regulation contexts.

Three previously undescribed 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones, (5S,6R,7S,8S)-8-chloro-5-ethoxy-6,7-dihydroxy-2-[2-(4'-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrochromone (1), (5R,6S,7R,8R)-8-chloro-5-ethoxy-6,7-dihydroxy-2-(2- phenylethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrochromone (2), (5S,6R,7S,8R)-5,8-dichloro-6,7- dihydroxy-2-[2-(4'-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrochromone (3), and 28 known analogues (4-31) were isolated from the stems of Aquilaria sinensis. Their structures were characterized by the spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configuration was resolved by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Bioactivity evaluation indicated that compounds 3-8 had significant inhibition effect in the production of NO in an inflammatory cell model with relatively lower IC values of 5.
