Three labdane-type [multisins A-C (1-3)], two guaiane-type [multisins D (4) and E (5)], and one eudesmane-type [multisin F (6)] previously undescribed terpenoids, together with 14 mono- (7-20) and seven dimeric- (21-27) known terpenoids, were isolated from the 90% MeOH extract of the whole plant of Chloranthus multistachys. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 4 and 5 are rare trinor-sesquiterpenes with a de-isopropyl guaiane skeleton, whereas compound 6 is a rearranged dinor-eudesmene featuring an uncommon octahydro-1H-indene ring system. Among the isolates, the dimeric lindenane sesquiterpenoid shizukaol C (25) exhibited the most potent (IC = 8.04 μM) anti-neuroinflammatory activity by inhibiting the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine BV-2 microglial cells.

Traditional plants have played a vital role in civilization and medicine throughout history. , a plant used in South Asian traditional medicine, has various medicinal applications but limited research on its impact on the central nervous system (CNS). This study analyzed the methanolic leaf extract of (MECE) for secondary metabolites and conducted experiments to evaluate the sedative, and anxiolytic effect of MECE on a mice model.

Fifteen undescribed sesquiterpenoid monomers, including six pairs of sesquiterpenoid enantiomers (1a/1b-3a/3b and 5a/5b-7a/7b) and three analogues (4, 8, and 9), together with two known sesquiterpenoid dimers (10 and 11) were isolated from the whole plant of Chloranthus henryi Hemsl. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic data analysis, ECD calculations, and single crystal X-Ray diffractions. Compounds 1a and 1b were highly aromatic cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids.

Electronic address:
Thirteen previously undescribed lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimers (LSDs), named chlorahololides G-S (1-13), were isolated from the whole plants of Chloranthus holostegius var. shimianensis, along with ten known analogues (14-23). The structures and absolute configurations of compounds 1-13 were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.
