Sesquiterpenes constitute the principal components of the genus , encompassing guaiane, germacrane, eudesmane, and polymer sesquiterpene lactones types. These secondary metabolites exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Through a comprehensive literature search of the Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and CNKI databases, it was discovered that there are as many as 145 main sesquiterpenoids in the genus . However, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data for the sesquiterpenes in this genus have not been systematically compiled and summarized. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the chemical structures, NMR data, and pharmacological activities of sesquiterpenes in . By meticulously analyzing published scholarly literature, our goal is to provide a solid foundation for further exploration of new sesquiterpenes and extensive utilization of this genus.

Fungal secondary metabolites (SMs) have broad applications in biomedicine, biocontrol, and the food industry. In this study, whole-genome sequencing and annotation of were conducted, followed by comparative genomic analysis with 11 other species of Polyporales to examine genomic variations and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways. Additionally, transcriptome data were used to analyze the differential expression of polyketide synthase (PKS), terpene synthase (TPS) genes, and transcription factors (TFs) under different culture conditions.

The potential sesquiterpene lactone groups from the Vernonia genus; namely vernolide-A, vernolide-B, and vernodalin, have been reported for anticancer effects by downregulating cancer promoter proteins. Nevertheless, prior investigations have failed to identify the target proteins that are associated with the compounds' actions. Subsequently, the present investigation attempts to identify the target proteins associated with cancer.

A new sesquiterpene, 8,11-epoxy-cadi-3,9-diene (), along with nine known compounds (-), were isolated from the heartwood of . Their structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic data, and by comparison with data previously reported in literature. The hexane extract from the heartwood of , the EtOH extract from the heartwood of , the CHCl-soluble fraction of the EtOH extract, the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the EtOH extract and the compounds - have been evaluated as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and among these, the extracts and fractions exhibited satisfactory results.
