Two novel Lycopodium alkaloids, huperphlegmines A and B (1 and 2), were isolated from the aerial parts of Huperzia phlegmaria collected in Vietnam, together with the five known compounds lycophlegmariol A (3), phlegmariurine B (4), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5), rhemanone C (6), and loliolide (7). The chemical structures of the present compounds were elucidated by means of 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopy, and by comparisons to the reported data in the literature. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, with IC values of 25.95 ± 0.67 and 29.14 ± 0.77 μg/mL, respectively.

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), particularly T-type calcium channels (TTCCs), are crucial for various physiological processes and have been implicated in pain, epilepsy, and cancer. Despite the clinical trials of TTCC blockers like Z944 and MK8998, none are currently available on the market. This study investigates the efficacy of Lycopodium alkaloids, particularly as natural product-based TTCC blockers.

Huperzine A (HupA) is an important drug for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is primarily extracted from the (). Failures in the chemical synthesis of Hup and in vitro culture have put in danger of extinction, and there is a need for an extensive investigation of Hup from alternative perspectives. The aim of this study is to identify endophytic fungi that produce high Hup or simultaneously produce many types of Hup and have high genetic stability derived from other species as a source of materials for natural Hup production.
