A hybrid of dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinol (DIAP) and monoterpenoid, hypatone A (), together with its biosynthetic analogues - is characterized from . Structurally, possesses an unprecedented spiro[bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6,1'-cyclohexan]-2',4',6'-trione core as elucidated by extensive spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses. Biological studies reveal that compounds and - produce opposite effects on Ca3.1 low voltage-gated Ca channel, with and , respectively, being the most potent Ca3.1 agonist and antagonist from natural products. Further studies suggest that compound and its biogenetical precursor, , have the same binding site on Ca3.1 and that the rigid cagelike moiety at C-5 and C-6 is a key structural feature responsible for being an agonist. Furthermore, can normalize the pathological gating of a mutant Ca3.1 channel found in spinocerebellar ataxia 42 (SCA42), a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with no available therapy. Collectively, our findings provide valuable tools for future studies on Ca3.1 physiology and pathophysiology, as well as afford possible leads for developing new drugs against SCA42, epilepsy, and pain.

Dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols (DIAPs) are specific natural products mainly distributed in the plants of genus Hypericum. In this study, guided by HPLC-UV screening, 46 DIAPs (approximately 70% of all DIAPs) including 20 new ones and an unprecedented architecture, were discovered from the roots of Hypericum henryi, which were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic, X-ray crystallography, and ECD methods. Compounds 1-7, 39, and 41-42 exhibited remarkable cytotoxicities (IC = 0.

In this work, 26 methylated acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids with diverse skeletons, including 18 new ones (bellumones A-R, -), were identified from the flowers of . Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data, calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Through methylation at C-5, prenylation with different chain lengths of the acylphloroglucinol-derived core, along with different types of secondary cyclization, type A bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (BPAPs) (- and -) and dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols (DIAPs) (- and -) were obtained.

A series of dearomatized isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols derivatives, hyperhenols A-E (1-5), as well as seven known analogues (6-12), were characterized from Hypericum henryi. Their structures were determined by combination of NMR, ECD spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 6-8 were tested to exhibit potential antitumor properties, of which 6 and 7 inhibited cell growth through inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
