Five new dimeric phloroglucinol derivatives, agrimones A - E (1-5), were isolated from the whole plant of Agrimonia pilosa. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by a series of spectroscopic data (UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR), complemented with the comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD spectra, and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations. Notably, compounds 1 and 2 represent a highly oxidized 6/6/6 tricyclic ring skeleton based on the cis-fused paraquinone and chroman. Compounds 1a, 4, and 5 exhibited moderate hepatoprotective activities against APAP-induced HepG2 cell injury at 10 μM.

Two new acylphloroglucinol-nerolidol meroterpenoids (APNMs) [(±)-1 and (±)-2], with a skeleton of mixed sesquiterpene and dimeric acylphloroglucinol biosynthetic origin, were isolated from the medicinal pteridophyte . Inspired by the proposed biosynthetic pathway, we initially completed the biomimetic syntheses of eight optically active APNMs (1-8) in a one-pot domino reaction. The structures of APNMs 1-8 including their absolute configurations were unambiguously established by a combination of NMR analysis, ECD calculations, and synthetic methods.

Introduction: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the primary risk factor for keratinocyte carcinomas. Oral supplementation with nicotinamide (NAM) is reported to reduce the formation of new keratinocyte carcinomas. NAM's photoprotection is mediated by enhanced DNA repair.

Unlabelled: Diabetes is often associated with increased oxidative stress caused by an imbalance between detoxification and ROS production. Unfortunately, many commercial drugs available today for treating this disease have adverse side effects and ultimately fail to restore glucose homeostasis. Therefore, finding a dietary anti-diabetic remedy that is safe, effective, and economical is crucial.

Lysidrhodosides A-I (1-9), nine acylphloroglucinol glucoside derivatives along with three known analogues (10-12) were isolated from the leaves of Lysidice rhodostegia. Their structures and absolute configuration were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis (NMR, UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and acid hydrolysis with HPLC analysis. Notably, compounds 7-9 represent the first examples of 3-methylbutyryl phloroglucinol glucoside dimers isolated from this plant.

Six undescribed lavandulylated flavonoids (1-6) were isolated from the roots of Sophora flavescens. Remarkably, compounds 1 and 2, which were composed of a flavane unit and a phloroglucinol unit, were the first reported dimers. Compounds 3 and 4 were the first reported neoflavonoids with lavandulyl units.
