Phytochemical investigation of Hypericum sampsonii Hance resulted in the isolation of thirty-five polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols including six new ones (1, 3, 5, and 15-17). Their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, NMR, HRESIMS, and calculated ECD analysis. Some compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 1 and 26 showed significant inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production, and markedly suppressed the protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells.

A bioinspired alkylation dearomatization reaction was developed to construct the 5/6/6 fused-spiro tricyclic core framework and spiro-quaternary carbon chiral center. The usage of this approach for assembling these natural products of spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an octahydrospiro-[cyclohexan-1,5'-indene] core is demonstrated by the first asymmetric total synthesis of highly oxidized hyperbeanol A.

Polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a class of >400 natural products with a broad spectrum of bioactivity, ranging from antidepressant and antimicrobial to anti-obesity and anticancer activity. Here, we present a scalable, regio-, site-, and enantioselective catalytic method for synthesis of cyclic β-prenyl ketones, compounds that can be used for efficient syntheses of many PPAPs in high enantiomeric purity. The transformation is prenyl conjugate addition to cyclic β-ketoesters promoted by a readily accessible chiral copper catalyst and involving an easy-to-prepare and isolable organoborate reagent.

The phytochemical investigation on the pericarps of Garcinia multiflora resulted in the isolation of 12 previously undescribed polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs, 1-12) with a variety of skeletons. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 6-9 possess a rare bicyclo[4.
