Three novel dimeric sesquiterpenoids named sarglanoids A-C (1-3), two undescribed monomeric sesquiterpenoids named sarglanoids D (4) and E (5), and seven known compounds (6-12), were isolated and characterized from Sarcandra glabra. Compound 1 represents the first heterodimeric sesquiterpenoid composed of a eudesmane and an eremophilane moiety. Compound 2 possesses two eremophilane monomers featuring an undescribed dimerization pattern. Compound 3 is a symmetric eudesmane dimer with a rare 1,4-epoxy bridge. The structures of 1-5 were fully identified by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Compounds 3 and 6 suppressed the LPS-triggered inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 cells.

A total of 34 sesquiterpene derivates were obtained from the flower of Inula japonica Thunb. Compounds 2, 14-34 were identified as sesquiterpene monomers, while the other 12 isolates (1, 3-13) were characterized as sesquiterpene dimers. Among them, japonicone Z (1), an present undescribed sesquiterpene dimer, and another undescribed monomer, japonicol A (2), were discovered.

Santalum album is an economically important plant in the craft, spices and medicine industries. The main chemical constituents found in sandalwood essential oils are sesquiterpenes. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl monoacyl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is one of the rate-limiting enzymes required for the synthesis of sandal sesquiterpenes, but there are no studies on the HMGR gene in S.

Two unprecedented sesquiterpene and monoterpene heterodimers and ten previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids, artemordosins A-L (1-12), as well as ten known sesquiterpenoids (13-22), were obtained from Artemisia ordosica. Their structures were elucidated based on comprehensive analyses of NMR, IR, HRESIMS, GIAO NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analysis, and ECD calculations. Notably, artemordosins A and B (1 and 2) were the first examples of cadinane-monoterpene dimers, and artemordosin A (1) was a cadinane-myrceane heterodimer with a 6/6/6/6 ring system formed by [4 + 2] cycloaddition, while artemordosin B (2) was a 4,5-seco-cadinane-artemisane dimer connected through a C-5-O-C-4' linkage.

Two heterocyclic sesquiterpenoid oligomers (1, 2) and four previously undescribed seco-pseudoguaianolide derivatives (3-6) were isolated from the inflorescence of Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Ambrosiadimer A (1) is an unprecedented dimer featuring a hexahydropyrrolizine core scaffold and two pseudoguaianolide units. Ambrosiatrimer A (2) is a trimer formed from three pseudoguaianolide units via a pyrrolidine ring.

The immune system serves as a role of diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, and acute lung injury. An immunoregulatory activity-directed separation depended on phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus ionomycin (Ion)-mediated Jurkat leukemic T cells was used for studying chemical constituents from Inula britannica L. in depth.
