Five new compounds called Pestalotis A-E (-), comprising three monoterpene-lactone compounds (-), one tetrahydrobenzofuran derivative (), and one sesquiterpene (), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of sp. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by analysis of their NMR, HRMS, and ECD spectra, and the absolute configurations were established through the comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra. All compounds were tested for antitumor activity against SW-480, LoVo, HuH-7, and MCF-7. The results showed that compounds and exhibited potent antitumor activity against SW-480, LoVo, and HuH-7 cell lines. Furthermore, compound was assessed against HuH-7, and the results indicated that the rate of apoptosis was dose-dependent.

Model P-chirogenic phosphonates derived from isopinocampheol, offering an excellent experimental system for studying chirality on the phosphorus chiral center, were studied using a set of chiroptical methods including ECD, VCD and ROA. Thanks to their rigidity, limiting the number of possible conformers, we successfully correlated the experimental UV-vis/ECD, IR/VCD and Raman/ROA results with DFT calculations. This allowed us to confidently assign the absolute configuration of our models, and our assignment is consistent with X-ray diffraction (XRD) data.

Fifteen new aliphatic metabolites, 2-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (1,2), 2-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-3-ones (4a/4b, 5a/5b), butyrolactones (6-9), and aliphatic metabolites (16-20) as well as known pyridin-2(1H)-one (3) and butyrolactone analogues (10-15) were obtained from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces antifungus isolated from the forest soil sample collected in Tengchong, China. Pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives (1, 2) with an individual 2-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one skeleton is a kind of rarely reported compound and were firstly obtained from natural source. The structures of the new metabolites were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including data from experimental and calculated ECD spectra as well as Mosher's reagent derivative method.

The embellishing of the macrocycle core with sulfur substituents of varied sterical requirements changes the structural dynamics of chiral, triangular polyimines. Despite their formal high symmetry, these compounds adopt diverse conformations, in which the macrocycle core represents a non-changeable unit. DFT calculations reveal that the mutual arrangement of sulfur-containing substituents is controlled mainly by sterical interactions.
