Osteoclastogenesis-related bone diseases including osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease and periodontitis are worldwide occurred and cause severe health problems including bone fracture and bone cancer. However, A few studies have shown that Daemonorops draco (Willd.) Blume may decrease bone destruction and relieve bone cancer pain. In this research, we isolated and purified four known and two novel compounds from D. draco and investigated their anti-osteoclastogenesis activity using RAW264.7 cells. Among them, com.1 exhibited the most effective inhibitory activity on osteoclastogenesis with 78% inhibition at 10 μM and identified to be a novel natural flavan; and com.2 displayed a bit slighter inhibition (50% at 10 μM), indicating that the methylation of 7-hydroxyl group increased the anti-osteoclastogenesis activity. Moreover, nineteen commercial flavonoids were also performed in this study to investigate their inhibitory activity on osteoclastogenesis, and furtherly develop the SAR profile in flavonoid skeleton combined with the information of isolated compounds. Interestingly, the absence of substituents in B-ring and (3R)-hydroxyl group seems to play a crucial role in increasing anti-osteoclastogenesis activity.

Excessive osteoclast activity could cause skeletal diseases including osteoporosis. Additionally, autophagy plays an initial role in osteoclast differentiation and function. Ginkgolide B (GB), a key compound in Ginkgo biloba, improves bone mass and suppresses mature osteoclast formation in vitro.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), located at depths ranging from 30-150 m, host some of the most diverse yet least explored marine bioresources, particularly significant for the discovery of new bioactive molecules. The fungus Beauveria sp. NBUF147, associated with an Irciniidae sponge from the mesophotic zone at a depth of 82 m, underwent chemical investigation that led to the identification of one new sterol, beautoide A (1), and one reported sterol, 3β,5α,9α-trihydroxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-7,22-dien-6-one (2).

As bone-resorbing cells rich in mitochondria, osteoclasts require high iron uptake to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and maintain a high-energy metabolic state for active bone resorption. Given that abnormal osteoclast formation and activation leads to imbalanced bone remodeling and osteolytic bone loss, osteoclasts may be crucial targets for treating osteolytic diseases such as periodontitis. Isobavachin (IBA), a natural flavonoid compound, has been confirmed to be an inhibitor of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs).

Phytochemical study on Euphorbia milii, a common ornamental plant, resulted in the identification of thirteen new ent-rosane diterpenoids (1-13), three new ent-atisane diterpenoids (14-16), and a known ent-rosane (17). Their structures were delineated using spectroscopic data, quantum chemical calculations, and X-ray diffraction experiments. Euphomilone F (1) represented a rare ent-rosane-type diterpenoid with a 5/7/6 skeleton.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease. Its pathological features include synovial inflammation, bone erosion, and joint structural damage. Our previous studies have shown that interleukin (IL)-35 is involved in the pathogenesis of bone loss in RA patients.
