Calendula officinalis is a medicinal plant in the Asteraceae family, and it has a broad range of biological activities. In this study, we focused on the roots of C. officinalis, which have remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. By using a bioassay-guided fractionation approach, prenylated acetophenones 1 and 2-of which 1 was previously unknown-were isolated, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis. Both compounds decreased lipopolysaccharide-stimulated NO production in J774.1 cells. This study could lead to the use of the Calendula roots as a natural source of inflammatory mediators.

Four new prenylated acetophenone derivatives, including one acetophenone dimer [acronyrone D (1)] and three acetophenone monomers [acronyrones E-G (2-4)], along with seven known analogues (5-11) were obtained from the leaves of Acronychia pedunculata. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by analysis of HRMS and NMR data, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the isolates were tested for their anti-proliferative acivity against HCT-116, RKO and SW480 cancer cell lines.

We report an improved synthetic protocol for hydroxy methyl-derived polysubstituted furans employing Bi(III)-catalyzed dehydrative cycloisomerization of α-hydroxy oxetanyl ketones. This procedure provides rapid access (within 5 min) to highly substituted furans with exceptional functional group diversity, excellent yields, generality, scalability, and operationally simple reaction conditions. Further, it demonstrated the utility of this method in the first enantioselective total synthesis of furyl-hydroquinone-derived biologically potent natural products shikonofurans J, D, E, and C in seven linear steps, starting from readily available building blocks of 2,5-dihydroxy acetophenone and 3-oxetanone employing chiral-phosphoric acid (TRIP)-catalyzed asymmetric prenylation as a key step to induce the chirality.

A new prenylated xanthenoid with a highly oxidized core, acrotrione B (1: ), together with six previously reported acetophenones (2: - 7: ), were isolated from the roots of . The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by thorough analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The relative and absolute configurations of acrotrione B were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations.

Two novel prenylated acetophenones with new carbon skeletons, acronyrones A and B (1 and 2), and a new analogue, acronyrone C (3), together with two known compounds (4 and 5) were isolated from the leaves of Acronychia pedunculata. Their structures with absolute configurations were identified by interpretation of spectroscopic data, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first example of prenylated acetophenones possessed a C (1) and a C (2) side chain, forming a 4-isobutylchroman-2-one unit and a 3-(2-methylpropylidene)benzofuran-2(3H)-one moiety with the acetophenone core, respectively.
