Abstract
Two new lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers, chlotrichenes C and D (1 and 2) together with five known lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers (3-7) were isolated from the roots of Chloranthus holostegius var. trichoneurus, a famous natural medicine named as "Sikuaiwa" for subduing swellings and relieving pain. The structures including absolute configuration were elucidated by their 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD data. Compounds 1 and 2 were classical [4 + 2] lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers that differed from known analogs in oxidation profile, side chain profile, and double bond position. The new isolates and compound 3 exhibited significant inhibitory activity on IL-1β production (IC50: 1-15 μM) in LPS-induced THP-1 cells and other compounds exhibited inhibitory activity on NO production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells (IC50: 24-33 μM).

Abstract
Two previously unreported lindenane sesquiterpene dimers (1 and 2) with a rare skeleton containing an oxaspiro[4.5]decane moiety were isolated from the roots of Chloranthus holostegius var. trichoneurus. Their structures were elucidated by HRESIMS, NMR, ECD, and NMR quantum chemical calculations, along with DP4+ probability analysis. In bioassay, compound 1 exhibited significant activity to reverse the multidrug resistance (MDR)in MCF-7/ADR cells, with an IC50 value of 4.4 μM. Further mechanistic studies revealed that compound 1 combined with doxorubicin could induce apoptosis of MCF-7/ADR cells and block the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. Mechanistically, compound 1 could inhibit the efflux function of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) using the zebrafish model. Finally, the enhanced chemotherapeutic effects of doxorubicin were further confirmed by in vivo zebrafish xenograft experiments.

Abstract
Covering: 1976 to December 2023Chloranthaceae is comprised of four extant genera (Chloranthus, Sarcandra, Hedyosmum, and Ascarina), totaling about 80 species, many of which have been widely used as herbal medicines for diverse medical purposes. Chloranthaceae plants represent a rich source of structurally interesting and diverse secondary metabolites, with sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids being the predominant structural types. Lindenane sesquiterpenoids and their oligomers, chemotaxonomical markers of the family Chloranthaceae, have shown a wide spectrum of bioactivities, attracting significant attention from organic chemists and pharmacologists. Recent achievements also demonstrated the research value of two unique structural types in this plant family, sesquiterpenoid-monoterpenoid heterodimers and meroterpenoids. This review systematically summarizes 682 structurally characterized terpenoids from 22 Chloranthaceae plants and their key biological activities as well as the chemical synthesis of selected terpenoids.

Abstract
Trisarcglaboids A and B (1 and 2), representing the first example of lindenane sesquiterpenoid trimers repolymerized based on the classical [4 + 2] type dimer, together with known biogenic precursors chlorahololide D (3) and sarcandrolide A (4), were identified as chemical components of the root of Sarcandra glabra. The novel trimeric lindenane sesquiterpenoid skeletons, including their absolute configurations, were characterized using MS, NMR, ECD, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The proposed Diels-Alder cycloaddition between Δ2(3) of the tiglic acyl group of the classical [4 + 2] type dimer and Δ15(4),5(6) of the third lindenane may serve as the key biogenic step. In addition, compound 1 exerted significant cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 7 μM, potentially through blocking Akt phosphorylation and activating the endogenous apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
In this study, ten phenylpropionyl phenylethylamines, including five previously undescribed ones (1a/b, 2a/b, and 3), five known analogues (4-8), and two established phenylpropanoids precursors (9, 10) were isolated from the aerial parts of Chloranthus henryi Hemsl. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry, enantio-separation, electronic circular dichroism calculation, and single crystal diffraction. Compounds 1a and 1b were the first examples of natural hetero-[2 + 2] cycloaddition products between phenylpropionyl phenylethylamine and phenylpropene. The plausible hetero-[2 + 2] biosynthesis pathway was confirmed by a photocatalytic biomimetic synthesis in eight steps, which also led to the production of three other potential natural homo-[2 + 2] adducts (1'a/b, 2', and 3'). Bioactivity screening indicated that these adducts bear medium inhibitory activity on nitric oxide generation, with IC50 values of 6-35 μM in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Abstract
Covering: 1925 to July 2023Among the sesquiterpenoids with rich structural diversity and potential bioactivities, lindenane sesquiterpenoids (LSs) possess a characteristic cis, trans-3,5,6-carbocyclic skeleton and mainly exist as monomers and diverse oligomers in plants from the Lindera genus and Chloranthaceae family. Since the first identification of lindeneol from Lindera strychnifolia in 1925, 354 natural LSs and their oligomers with anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and anti-infective activities have been discovered. Structurally, two-thirds of LSs exist as oligomers with interesting skeletons through diverse polymeric patterns, especially Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition. Fascinated by their diverse bioactivities and intriguing polycyclic architectures, synthetic chemists have engaged in the total synthesis of natural LSs in recent decades. In this review, the research achievements related to LSs from 1925 to July of 2023 are systematically and comprehensively summarized, focusing on the classification of their structures, chemical synthesis, and bioactivities, which will be helpful for further research on LSs and their oligomers.

Abstract
The phytoconstituents of the whole plants of Chloranthus holostegius were investigated. As a result, thirteen undescribed sesquiterpenes (chloranholosins A-M, 1-13), including ten acorane-type sesquiterpenes (1-10), one germacrene-type sesquiterpene (11), and two lindenane-type sesquiterpenes (12-13), together with fifteen known sesquiterpenes were isolated. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by a comprehensive method including the spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Chloranholosin L (12) was elucidated as a rare lindenane-type sesquiterpene featuring 14α-Me and 5-OH moieties. And chloranholosin M (13) was the first lindenane-type sesquiterpene possessing β-cyclopropane, 14α-Me, and 5β-H configuration from the family Chloranthaceae. Furthermore, twelve new isolates and some known sesquiterpenes were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Among them, compounds 12, 16, and 23 showed comparable inhibitory activity to that of the positive control, with IC50 values of 47.9, 41.5, and 48.3 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Lindenane sesquiterpenoid monomers and oligomers, characterized by a sterically congested cyclopentane and an unusual trans-5/6 ring junction, are mainly found in Chloranthaceae species and the genus Lindera Thunb (Lauraceae). Numerous studies have shown that lindenane sesquiterpenoid monomers and oligomers exhibit a broad range of biological activities, such as cytotoxicity, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, antifungal, and anti-malarial activities. This review covers publications from the first identification of lindeneol in 1925-2023 and classifies the lindenane sesquiterpenoid derivatives into sesquiterpenoid monomers, sesquiterpenoid-monoterpene conjugates, sesquiterpenoid homodimers, sesquiterpenoid heterodimers, and trimeric sesquiterpenoids. In addition, their biological activities are summarized. This review will establish a scientific basis and provide guidance for utilizing this unique class of natural products as potential lead compounds to develop their application in treating diseases corresponding to inflammation, cancer, and plasmodium.

Abstract
Aimed at discovering small molecules as anticancer drugs or lead compounds from plants, a lindenane-type sesquiterpene dimer, chlorahololide D, was isolated from Chloranthus holostegius. The literature review showed that there were few reports on the antitumor effects and mechanisms of chlorahololide D. Our biological assay suggested that chlorahololide D blocked the growth and triggered apoptosis of MCF-7 cells by stimulating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and arresting the cell cycle at the G2 stage. Further mechanism exploration suggested that chlorahololide D regulated apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax. Moreover, chlorahololide D inhibited cell migration by regulating the FAK signaling pathway. In the zebrafish xenograft model, chlorahololide D was observed to suppress tumor proliferation and migration significantly. Considering the crucial function of angiogenesis in tumor development, the anti-angiogenesis of chlorahololide D was also investigated. All of the research preliminarily revealed that chlorahololide D could become an anti-breast cancer drug.

Abstract
Seven lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid trimers, including four new ones (1-4) and three known analogues (5-7), were isolated from Chloranthus fortunei guided by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection with characteristic absorption at 210 and 350 nm. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were achieved by high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, electronic circular dichroism, and quantum chemical calculations. Compound 1 was the first example of two lindenane units connected by a C-15-C-15' bond. The 5/7/5-fused ring system in 2 was presumably formed biogenetically by key keto-enol tautomerism and Cope rearrangement from 5. The 5/3/6 carbon skeleton in 3-5 and epi-cyclopropane in 3 and 6 might have originated from trishizukaol A (7) with a normal 3/5/6-fused ring system through vinylcyclopropane rearrangement. The biomimetic conversion from 7 to 3-6 was successfully achieved by adding a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp and a free radical initiator, and 2 was also spontaneously converted to 5 in methanol and CDCl3, which proved the correctness of the structural identification and the speculation described above. Compounds 1-7 exhibited anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 values in the range of 2.90-22.80 μmol/L.

Abstract
A practical strategy for the synthesis of spiro[5.5]trienones-fused selenocyanates and spiro[4.5]trienones-fused selenocyanates through electrophilic selenocyanogen cyclization and dearomative spirocyclization is reported. This approach was conducted under mild conditions with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. The utility of this procedure is exhibited in the late-stage functionalization of nature product and drug molecules.

Abstract
Untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a widely used method for discovering natural products (NPs); however, automatic MS/MS data mining for the discovery of NPs remains a challenge. In this work, LindenaneExtractor, a program based on characteristic MS/MS ions of lindenane sesquiterpenoids (LSs) was developed to automatically extract the LSs features for target LS discovery in plant extracts. To build this program, fragmentation mechanisms of characteristic ions of LSs were elucidated and confirmed by quantum chemical calculation and deuterium-labeled compounds. Subsequently, the information of characteristic ions was integrated and coded to develop LindenaneExtractor, which was further examined by standards and several public databases. Finally, the target LS features in Sarcandra hainanensis extract were automatically extracted by LindenaneExtractor and visualized by feature-based molecular networking and two-dimensional (2D) retention time-m/z plot, leading to the discovery of 96 target LSs in total, 37 of these compounds were potentially new NPs and one was confirmed by further isolation. This work proposed a new strategy for target NP analysis and discovery based on automatic MS/MS data mining, which could significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of NP discovery.
