Five new sesquiterpenoids (1-5), together with a known compound 6 was isolated from ethyl ether extract of agarwood. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR), as well as by comparison with literature data. Compound 5 exhibited inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase with inhibition ratio of 48.33 ± 0.17% at the concentration of 50 μg/mL.

Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is a host defense mechanism of the respiratory system. Beating cilia plays a crucial role in the MCC process and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is activated by several factors including elevations of the intracellular cAMP concentration ([cAMP]), intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]), and intracellular pH (pH). In this study, we investigated whether an artichoke-extracted component cynaropicrin could be a beneficial compound for improving MCC.

Background: Early seed germination in crops can confer a competitive advantage against weeds and reduce the time to maturation and harvest. WRKY transcription factors regulate many aspects of plant development including seed dormancy and germination. Both positive and negative regulators of seed germination have been reported in many plants such as rice and Arabidopsis.

Eleven undescribed sesquiterpenes, vachanins A-K covering types of germacrane, eudesmane, guaiacane, and cadinane, along with fifteen known analogs were isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia vachanica Krasch. ex Poljakov. Their structures were established on the basis of HRMS and NMR data, and their absolute configurations were successfully determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, C-NMR calculations and DP4+ probability analysis, and ECD data in corporation with quantum chemical calculations.

Gossypol and its derivatives arouse interest due to their broad spectrum of biological activities. Despite its wide potential application, there is no reported example of gossypol derivatives bearing stable radical functional groups. The first gossypol nitroxide hybrid compound was prepared here via formation of a Schiff base.

Targeted nanodrug delivery systems are highly anticipated for the treatment of malaria. It is known that can induce new permeability pathways (NPPs) on the membrane of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) for their nutrient uptake. The NPPs also enable the uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) smaller than 80 nm.
