The new polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, hyperforcinols A-J (-), were isolated from the fruits of , together with 30 biogenetic congeners of known structures. The structures of hyperforcinols A-J were determined by HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by a combination of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method, ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction analysis. A selection of 25 isolates, possessing seven types of carbon skeletons, were assessed for their in vitro effects against nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) using a free fatty acid-induced L02 cell model. Compounds and significantly decreased intracellular lipid accumulation. QRT-PCR analyses revealed that compounds and regulate the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes, including , , , and .

A bioinspired alkylation dearomatization reaction was developed to construct the 5/6/6 fused-spiro tricyclic core framework and spiro-quaternary carbon chiral center. The usage of this approach for assembling these natural products of spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an octahydrospiro-[cyclohexan-1,5'-indene] core is demonstrated by the first asymmetric total synthesis of highly oxidized hyperbeanol A.

Polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a class of >400 natural products with a broad spectrum of bioactivity, ranging from antidepressant and antimicrobial to anti-obesity and anticancer activity. Here, we present a scalable, regio-, site-, and enantioselective catalytic method for synthesis of cyclic β-prenyl ketones, compounds that can be used for efficient syntheses of many PPAPs in high enantiomeric purity. The transformation is prenyl conjugate addition to cyclic β-ketoesters promoted by a readily accessible chiral copper catalyst and involving an easy-to-prepare and isolable organoborate reagent.

The phytochemical investigation on the pericarps of Garcinia multiflora resulted in the isolation of 12 previously undescribed polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs, 1-12) with a variety of skeletons. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 6-9 possess a rare bicyclo[4.
