Two new yohimbine-type monoterpene indole alkaloids, rauvines A and B, and six known derivatives were obtained from the leaves of R. vomitoria. The structures of rauvines A and B were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, C-NMR, and ECD calculations. This is the first time to determine the absolute configurations of yohimbine-type N-oxides by quantum chemistry calculations ( C-NMR and ECD calculations). All the isolates were tested for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines. Rauvine B showed moderate cytotoxicity on human MCF-7 breast, SWS80 colon, and A549 lung cancer cell lines with IC values of 25.5, 22.6, and 26.0 μM, respectively.

Nine previously undescribed azulenoid-type sesquiterpenoids, including four common (1-4), four 5/6-cleaved (5-8), and one rearranged (9), were isolated from the edible-medicinal fungi Irpex lacteus. The structures of the compounds were established by combining spectroscopic methods, including integrated NMR, MS, and UV, as well as quantum C NMR and ECD calculations. All compounds exhibited a meaningful reduction in triglycerides activity.

Thirteen abietane-type diterpenoids, including seven previously undescribed compounds and six known analogs, were isolated from the root and aerial parts of Phlegmariurus carinatus. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis (UV, IR, NMR, and HRESIMS) and quantum chemical calculations (calculated ECD or C NMR). Notably, these compounds exhibited high structural diversity.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the chemical diversity of the SWUF15-40 fungus grown in a yeast-malt extract medium, shifting from the previous PDB medium using the OSMACs strategy, which resulted in discovering numerous bioactive compounds.
- - Detailed analysis using IR, NMR, MS, and XRD techniques led to the identification of two new isopimarane derivatives, three guaiane derivatives, and four known compounds.
- - A cyclic pentapeptide from the fungus showed promising anti-cancer activity against several cell lines and inhibited nitric oxide production, indicating that adjusting growth conditions can enhance the discovery of bioactive compounds in fungi.

Ten new limonoids, named xylomolones E-N (1-10), and two new protolimonoids, named xylomolones O (11) and P (12), were isolated from seeds of the Thai mangrove Xylocarpus moluccensis, together with the known compound, hispidone acetonide (13). The structures of these compounds were established by extensive NMR spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and comparison of experimental ECD spectra. The absolute configurations of xylomolones E (1) and L (8) were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, conducted with Cu Kα radiation.
