Eleven new angeloylated eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, dobinins D-N (, , , , , , and -), and four known compounds (, , , and ) were isolated from the roots of . A new oxidation product () was also obtained from dobinin H (). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Dobinins K-N (-) are the first examples of rearrangement noreudesmane analogue sesquiterpenoids with a unique 6/5-fused carbon skeleton. A putative biosynthetic pathway of compounds - is proposed. Compound exhibited significant antimalarial activity superior to artemisinin with the inhibition ratio of 59.1%, and compounds , , and exhibited moderate antimalarial activities against BY265RFP with inhibition ratios ranging from 14.5% to 18.5% at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day. In addition, the apoptosis of BY265RFP by the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential with striking ROS production, after parasitized erythrocyte lysis mediated by cytokines IL-12 and IFN-γ, may be a possible mechanism of antimalarial action of compound against BY265RFP.

A total of 34 sesquiterpene derivates were obtained from the flower of Inula japonica Thunb. Compounds 2, 14-34 were identified as sesquiterpene monomers, while the other 12 isolates (1, 3-13) were characterized as sesquiterpene dimers. Among them, japonicone Z (1), an present undescribed sesquiterpene dimer, and another undescribed monomer, japonicol A (2), were discovered.

Two unprecedented sesquiterpene and monoterpene heterodimers and ten previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids, artemordosins A-L (1-12), as well as ten known sesquiterpenoids (13-22), were obtained from Artemisia ordosica. Their structures were elucidated based on comprehensive analyses of NMR, IR, HRESIMS, GIAO NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analysis, and ECD calculations. Notably, artemordosins A and B (1 and 2) were the first examples of cadinane-monoterpene dimers, and artemordosin A (1) was a cadinane-myrceane heterodimer with a 6/6/6/6 ring system formed by [4 + 2] cycloaddition, while artemordosin B (2) was a 4,5-seco-cadinane-artemisane dimer connected through a C-5-O-C-4' linkage.
