Five new phloroglucinol derivatives (1-5) together with one known analogue (6) were isolated from the leaves of Syzygium austroyunnanense which is an edible folk medicine used for the treatment of diabetes. The new structures were elucidated as austroyunones A - E (1-5) by means of the extensive spectroscopic analyses including high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Compounds 4-6 showed obvious protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity. This discovery of new phloroglucinols and their bioactivities provided a scientific basis for the application of S. austroyunnanense as an edible and medicinal plant.

Fifteen undescribed phenylpropanoyl phloroglucinol derivatives featuring modified isoprenyl and/or geranyl units (1-15), in conjunction with thirteen known analogues (16-28), were obtained from the glandular hairs of the fruit of Mallotus philippensis. Meanwhile, fourteen pairs of new enantiomers [(±)-1-9, (±)-11-15] were further resolved by chiral purification. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and quantum chemical calculations.
