Three new germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactones (1-3) were isolated alongside seven known related congeners (4-10) from the leaves of Eupatorium chinense L. (Compositae). The planar structures of 1-3 were elucidated by their spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The relative and absolute configurations of 1-3 were determined using NOESY experiments and electronic circular dichroism analyses. Compounds 1, 4, 5, and 7 inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B activity with IC values of 25, 11, 28, and 24 μM, respectively. Among these, compound 4 exhibited an inhibitory effect on T-cell PTP (TCPTP) with an IC value of 25 μM. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the PTP inhibitory activity of the germacrane sesquiterpenes. The results show that compound 4 acts as an inhibitor of both PTP1B and TCPTP.

Plants respond to attacks by insects by releasing herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), which are known to influence the behavior of natural enemies, conspecific and heterospecific insects. However, little is known about how HIPVs induced by one insect species influence the behavior of an allospecific insect species, particularly if these insects belong to different feeding guilds. Here, using the interaction of two co-occurring insects with different feeding guilds - Bemisia tabaci (a sap sucking insect) and Tuta absoluta (a leaf mining insect) - on potato plants, we report that T.

Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is a prevalent and severe microvascular diabetic complication. Despite the recent developments in germacrone-based therapies for DN, the underlying mechanisms of germacrone in DN remain poorly understood. This study used comprehensive bioinformatics analysis to identify critical microRNAs (miRNAs) and the potential underlying pathways related to germacrone activities.

Sesquiterpenes constitute the principal components of the genus , encompassing guaiane, germacrane, eudesmane, and polymer sesquiterpene lactones types. These secondary metabolites exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Through a comprehensive literature search of the Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and CNKI databases, it was discovered that there are as many as 145 main sesquiterpenoids in the genus .

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.
