Two new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes, carperemophilanes A and B (1-2), three new maleimide-bearing compounds, carpesiumaleimides A-C (3-5), along with a known sesquiterpene, carabrol (6), were isolated from the ethanol extract of Carpesium abrotanoides L. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of their NMR and MS data as well as by comparison with the literature. The absolute configuration of carperemophilane A (1) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All isolated compounds (1-6) were evaluated in vitro for cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and HGC-27 using the MTT method. Compounds 1, 2 and 6 showed cytotoxic activities with IC values ranging from 7.45 to 37.35 μM.

As a part of systematic research, an ongoing phytochemical investigation of the sesquiterpenoid-containing fraction led to the isolation of five new sesquiterpenoids from the peeled stems of Syringa pinnatifolia, including two pairs of enantiomeric humulane-type (±)-alashanoids A and B (1 and 2) and one eremophilane-type alashanoid C (3). These structures were elucidated by the analysis of extensive spectroscopic data, including ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR, and the absolute configuration was determined by comparing its experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism and calculated NMR. These isolates exhibited moderate in vitro cardioprotective effects against oxidative injuries in H9c2 cells.

Eleven new highly oxygenated eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the whole plant of Synotis solidaginea, including two pairs of C-8 S/R epimers. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis and the absolute configurations of 1 and 9 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography using Cu Kα radiation. All the isolates were tested for the inhibition of LPS-stimulated NO production in macrophage-like mouse monocytic leukemia RAW264.

Five undescribed eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes, remophilanetriols E-I (1-5), along with seven known compounds (6-12) were isolated from the fresh roots of Rehmannia glutinosa. Their structures were characterized by extensive spectroscopic data analysis and their absolute configurations were determined by comparing their calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra and experimental ECD spectra. The anti-pulmonary fibrosis activities of all compounds were evaluated in vitro by MTT methods, and compounds 2, 8, 10, and 12 exhibited excellent anti-pulmonary fibrosis activities.

One novel bisabolane-derived sesquiterpenoid retrobisabolane A (1), featuring a methyl group location at the C-4 position instead of C-3 in the bisabolanes, and a known ester-substituted eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid cryptosphaerolide (2), along with three known indole alkaloids (3-5) were discovered from the fermented cultures of a deep-sea-derived fungus Retroconis fusiformis MCCC 3A00792. The planar structure of new compound 1 was determined by extensive analysis of the NMR and HRESIMS spectra. The relative and absolute configurations of 1 were resolved by the coupling constant (J), calculation of ECD and NMR spectra, and the DP4+ probability analysis of the H and C NMR data.
