Abstract
[structures: see text] Lathyranoic acid A (1), the first secolathyrane diterpenoid with an unprecedented skeleton, and a new diterpenoid Euphorbia factor L11 (2) were isolated from the seeds of Euphorbia lathyris. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. A biogenetic route involving an enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation as the key step was postulated for the transformation of 2 to 1 and mimicked by an unusual chemical Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.

Abstract
AIM To search the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g (PPAR(gamma)) agonists from Swietenia mahagony extract (SmE) and observe the possible ameliorative effects of SmE on diabetic db/db mice. METHODS The PPAR(gamma) agonistic activity of SmE was screened by yeast-two hybrid system. The blood glucose levels of diabetic db/db mice were measured using a blood glucose level monitor and the data were statistically analyzed by NDST8.8W software. RESULTS By using the clinical drug rosiglitazone as a positive control, it was found that the PPARg agonistic activity of SmE at a concentration of 50 microg/L was approximately half that of 35.7 microg/L (0.1 micromol/L) of rosiglitazone. At the dose of 1000 mg/kg, SmE remarkably decreased the blood glucose concentration of db/db mice from (15.26+/-2.98) to (7.58+/-2.20) mmol/L, and reduced the blood glucose levels by 55.49% compared with the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION SmE shows agonistic activity to PPARg and can ameliorate the blood glucose levels of diabetic db/db mice. SmE may be thus used as a potential agent for diabetes therapy.

Abstract
Four lignans, sacidumlignans A-D (1-4), and two degraded lignan derivatives, sacidumols A (5) and B (6), along with four known compounds, (+)-pinoresinol, 9alpha-hydroxypinoresinol, perforatic acid, and peucenine-7-O-methyl ether, were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the whole plant of Sarcostemma acidum. The structures and relative configuration of these new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical data, especially 2D NMR techniques. Sacidumlignan D (4) was assigned as a rearranged tetrahydrofuran lignan with an unprecedented skeleton. Sacidumlignan A (1) showed moderate antimicrobial activities against two Gram-positive bacteria in vitro.

Abstract
Twelve highly oxygenated novel daphnane-type diterpenoids genkwanines A-L (1-12), together with four known diterpenes (13-16), were isolated from the bud of Daphne genkwa, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The new structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods, especially 2D NMR spectra (HMQC, HMBC, NOESY). Inhibitory activity against endothelium cell HMEC proliferation and cytotoxic activities against two tumor cell lines were assessed for all the compounds 1-16, and found to be significant and structure related. A number of compounds showed very potent cytotoxic activities against two tumor cell lines at the IC50 levels of 0.15-8.40 microM, and most interestingly, five of the compounds 4, 8, 10, 13, and 14 exhibited strong activity to inhibit the endothelium cell HMEC at the IC50 levels of 2.90-15.0 microM.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is controlled by a number of growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study, pseudolarix acid B, isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Pseudolarix kaempferi and originally identified as an early pregnancy-terminating agent, was evaluated for its potential as an angiogenesis inhibitor, using in vitro and in vivo models. After exposure to pseudolarix acid B 0.625-5 microM for 72 h, the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was significantly inhibited. Pseudolarix acid B 0.313-2.5 microM for 24 h potently blocked the VEGF-induced tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Matrigel plug assays disclosed that pseudolarix acid B reduced angiogenesis induced by VEGF in vivo. In addition, pseudolarix acid B antagonized VEGF-mediated anti-apoptotic effects on serum-deprived human umbilical vein endothelial cells and increased apoptosis of endothelial cells induced by VEGF in Matrigel plug assays. Moreover, pseudolarix acid B significantly inhibited VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of kinase insert domain-containing receptor/fetal liver kinase-1 (KDR/flk-1), in correlation with a marked decrease in the phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK). These findings collectively suggest that pseudolarix acid B possesses anti-angiogenic activity. One of the main anti-angiogenesis mechanisms of pseudolarix acid B may involve antagonism of the VEGF-mediated anti-apoptosis effect via inhibition of KDR/flk-1, ERK1/2, and Akt phosphorylation in endothelial cells.

Abstract
The in vitro antifungal activities of 19 structurally diversified analogues of pseudolaric acids tested against the major pathogenic fungus Candida albicans has led to the establishment of a very clear structure-activity relationship of pseudolaric acids derivatives. Pseudolaric acid A was first found to be a potent antifungal component comparable with pseudolaric acid B. Among the tested 19 diterpenoids, pseudolaric acids A2 (1), B2 (3), B3 (4) and methyl pseudolarate A2 (2) are new isolates of the root bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi, and their structures were elucidated mainly by 2D-NMR techniques and chemical methods. Compounds 12-19 were first semi-synthesized by efficient routines from pseudolaric acid B.
