Radicinin and cochliotoxin ( and ) two phytotoxic pyranpyran-4,5-diones were isolated together with their close metabolites 3--radicinin, radicinol, and its 3-epimer (-), from the culture filtrates of , a fungus proposed as mycoherbcide for biocontrol of buffelgrass, a very noxious and dangerous weed. The absolute configuration of cochliotoxin was determined by chiroptical Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD), Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD), and Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD)) and computational methods. The same methods were used to confirm that of radicinin, radicinol and their 3-epimers, previously determined with chemical, spectroscopic and ECD methods.

Article Synopsis
- Five new pregnane C21-steroids were identified from the roots of Cynanchum bungei, including three previously unknown 5,6-epoxy steroids and two 8,14-seco-steroids.
- Compound 3 is notable for being the first 5a,6a-epoxy steroid discovered in Cynanchum plants, with their structures confirmed through various spectroscopic methods and theoretical calculations.
- All isolated compounds showed anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting nitric oxide release in RAW264.7 cells, with compounds 3 and 4 demonstrating stronger activity than the commonly used anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin at a concentration of 50 μM.
Configuring thermal ablation volumes for treatment of distinct tumor shapes: a repeatability study using a robotic approach.

ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Objectives: In the current clinical practice of thermal ablation treatment for liver tumors, achieving consistent and effective clinical outcomes across tumors of varying shapes, sizes and locations remains challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of a novel robotic approach for configurable ablation of distinct tumor shapes and compare it to the standard ablation technique for creating ellipsoidal ablation volumes.
Materials And Methods: The repeatability was evaluated in terms of width variability in created ablation volumes.

Electronic address:
Six previously undescribed spiromeroterpenoids, chermesins I-N (1-6), were isolated and identified from the marine-sourced fungus Penicillium chermesinum AS-400. Their structures were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopic data, and the relative and absolute configurations were confirmed based on nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopic experiments, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and X-ray crystallographic analysis, and by comparisons of ECD Cotton effects with those of known congeners as well. Structurally, compound 1 represents the first example of spiromeroterpenoid demethylated at C-4.
