species are renowned for their ability to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites with medicinal properties. In this study, compounds were isolated from sp. Z-16, of which compound is a new benzophenone derivative named methyl 2-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoyl)-4,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate. The chemical structure of was determined through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR (HMBC, HSQC) and HRESIMS. In addition, six other known compounds () were isolated and identified from sp. T-5-1. The antimicrobial activity tests demonstrated that compound was moderately active against with a MIC value of 125 μg/mL, while compound showed a MIC value of 62.5 μg/mL against .

Background: We identified small molecule tricyclic pyrone compound CP2 as a mild mitochondrial complex I (MCI) inhibitor that induces neuroprotection in multiple mouse models of AD. One of the major concerns while targeting mitochondria is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). CP2 consists of two diastereoisomers, D1 and D2, with distinct activity and toxicity profiles.

The aggregation of TDP-43, a crucial RNA-binding protein, is a consequence of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that disrupt its normal function. PTMs such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination contribute to the aberrant accumulation of TDP-43 aggregates, leading to neurodegenerative disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

Two new polyacetylenes, (5,12)-14-hydroxytetradeca-5,12-dien-8,10-diyn-1-yl 3-methylbut-2-enoate () and 5, 1'-(6,12)-1-hydroxytetradeca-6,12-dien-8,10-diyn-5-yl 2-methylbutanoate (), together with two known ones, (2,8)-12--methylbutyryltetradeca-2,8-diene-4,6-diyne-1,14-diol (), and ()-5-[5-(but-3-en-1-yn-1-yl)thiophen-2-yl]pent-2-en-4-yn-1-yl acetate () were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of by various chromatographic methods, such as normal phase silica gel column, MPLC, and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by kinds of spectroscopic methods including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, IR, UV, HR-ESI-MS, and ECD. Compound exhibited cytotoxic activities in HepG2 and Huh7 cells with IC values of 20.

A new megastigmane glycoside, conspurcoside A (), two new phenol glycosides, conspurcosides B () and C (), along with twelve known compounds (-) were isolated from the bark of Croizat. The structures of these compounds were identified through analysis of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD methods. Compounds (-, -) were tested for inhibition of NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.
