Abstract
Chemical investigation of a culture broth from the marine-derived fungus Pyrrhoderma noxium HNNU0524 yielded two new compounds including a drimane-type sesquiterpenoid named pyrrnoxin A (1) and a benzoic acid derivative, pyrrnoxin B (5), together with three related known analogues (2-4). The chemical structures of 1 and 5 were determined by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, quantum mechanics-based DP4+ and ECD calculations. Compounds 2 and 3 moderately inhibited NO production of lipopolysaccharide-induced microglia cells BV2 with IC50 values of 26.6 and 60.5 µM, respectively.

Abstract
The first synthesis of ustusal A as well as expeditious access to (-)-albrassitriol is described as featuring a singlet oxygen [4 + 2] cycloaddition, achieving the desired stereoselectivity for the 1,4-cis-hydroxyl groups. Transformation of (+)-sclareolide to III followed by a key Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction and stereospecific allylic oxidation facilitated the first synthesis of elegansin D. The biological evaluation of these natural products together with seven elegansin D analogues was performed, among which several elegansin D analogues exhibited potential anticancer activity against liver cancer HepG2 cells (IC50 = 11.99-25.58 μM) with low cytotoxicity on normal liver HL7702 cells (IC50 > 100 μM).

Abstract
Neuroprotection is one of the important protection methods against neuronal cells and tissue damage caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and multiple sclerosis. Various bioactive compounds produced by medicinal plants can potentially treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Apart from these resources, endophytes also produce diverse secondary metabolites capable of protecting the CNS. The bioactive compounds produced by endophytes play essential roles in enhancing the growth factors, antioxidant defence functions, diminishing neuroinflammatory, and apoptotic pathways. The efficacy of compounds produced by endophytic fungi was also evaluated by enzymes, cell lines, and in vivo models. Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibition is frequently used to assess in vitro neuroprotective activity along with cytotoxicity-induced neuronal cell lines. Some of drugs, such as tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, and other compounds, are generally used as reference standards. Furthermore, clinical trials are required to confirm the role of these natural compounds in neuroprotection efficacy and evaluate their safety profile. This review illustrates the production of various bioactive compounds produced by endophytic fungi and their role in preventing neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Twelve sesquiterpenoids with seven different carbon skeletons, including four isodaucanes (1-4), an aromadendrane (5), a guaiane (6), a cadalane (7), two eudesmanes (8 and 9), two bisabolanes (10 and 11), and a megastigmane (12), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Aglaia lawii (Wight) C. J. Saldanha et Ramamorthy. Of these compounds, amouanglienoids A (1) and B (2) are new isodaucane sesquiterpenoids. This is the first report of isodaucanes from the genus Aglaia, and amouanglienoid A (1) represents the first isodaucane containing a Δ7(8) double bond. Their structures were discerned from extensive spectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data. In in vitro bioassays, compounds 1, 10, and 11 showed potent inhibitory effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells, while compound 11 exhibited considerable inhibition of PTP1B with an IC50 value of 16.05 ± 1.09 μM.

Abstract
Soil-derived fungi represent an insufficiently tapped reservoir for discovering new and bioactive natural products (NPs), and despite an ever-increasing number of unknown NPs have been discovered over the past few decades, much of the hidden biosynthetic potential is still in an urgent need to be disclosed. In this research, a chemical investigation was performed on a wetland soil-derived fungus Aspergillus calidoustus TJ403-EL05, leading to the isolation of a total of fourteen drimane sesquiterpenoids (1-14), incorporating three new ones, namely ustusols F-H (1-3). Their structures, comprising absolute configurations, were completely authenticated by widespread spectroscopic data, quantum chemical 13C NMR and ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography experiments. Compound 14 exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the LPS-induced NO release (IC50 = 25.6 μM).

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the fourth leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease, tumors, and stroke. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, which are based on cholinergic damage, remain the mainstream drugs to alleviate AD-related symptoms. This study aimed to explore novel AChE inhibitors produced by the endophytic fungus FL15 from Huperzia serrata. The fungus was identified as Talaromyces aurantiacus FL15 according to its morphological characteristics and ITS, 18S rDNA, and 28S rDNA sequence analysis. Subsequently, seven natural metabolites were isolated from strain FL15, and identified as asterric acid (1), methyl asterrate (2), ethyl asterrate (3), emodin (4), physcion (5), chrysophanol (6), and sulochrin (7). Compounds 1-3, which possess a diphenyl ether structure, exhibited highly selective and moderate AChE inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 66.7, 23.3, and 20.1 μM, respectively. The molecular docking analysis showed that compounds 1-3 interacted with the active catalytic site and peripheral anionic site of AChE, and the esterification substitution groups at position 8 of asterric acid may contribute to its bioactivity. The asterric acid derivatives showed highly selective and moderate AChE inhibitory activities, probably via interaction with the peripheral anionic site and catalytic site of AChE. To the best of our knowledge, this study was the first report of the AChE inhibitory activity of asterric acid derivatives, which opens new perspectives for the design of more effective derivatives that could serve as a drug carrier for new chemotherapeutic agents to treat AD.

Abstract
Drimane-type sesquiterpenes exhibit various biological activities and are widely present in eukaryotes. Here, we completely elucidated the biosynthetic pathway of the drimane-type sesquiterpene esters isolated from Aspergillus calidoustus and we discovered that it involves a drimenol cyclase having the same catalytic function previously only reported in plants. Moreover, since many fungal drimenol derivatives possess a γ-butyrolactone ring, we clarified the functions of the cluster-associated cytochrome P450 and FAD-binding oxidoreductase discovering that these two enzymes are solely responsible for the formation of those structures. Furthermore, swapping of the enoyl reductase domain in the identified polyketide synthase led to the production of metabolites containing various polyketide chains with different levels of saturation. These findings have deepened our understanding of how fungi synthesize drimane-type sesquiterpenes and the corresponding esters.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder of different brain regions accompanied by distresses and affecting more than 25 million people in the world. This progressive brain deterioration affects the central nervous system and has negative impacts on a patient's daily activities such as memory impairment. The most important challenge concerning AD is the development of new drugs for long-term treatment or prevention, with lesser side effects and greater efficiency as cholinesterases inhibitors and the ability to remove amyloid-beta(Aβ) deposits and other related AD neuropathologies. Natural sources provide promising alternatives to synthetic cholinesterase inhibitors and many have been reported for alkaloids while neglecting other classes with potential cholinesterase inhibition. This review summarizes information about the therapeutic potential of small natural molecules from medicinal herbs, belonging to terpenoids, coumarins, and phenolic compounds, and others, which have gained special attention due to their specific modes of action and their advantages of low toxicity and high efficiency in the treatment of AD. Some show superior drug-like features in comparison to synthetic cholinesterase inhibitors. We expect that the listed phytoconstituents in this review will serve as promising tools and chemical scaffolds for the discovery of new potent therapeutic leads for the amelioration and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Paecilomyces, a common saprobic filamentous fungus, not only plays an important role in biological control, but also has applications in medicine, food, and environmental protection. In this paper, 223 secondary metabolites and their bioactivities from 13 known species and various unidentified strains of Paecilomyces are reviewed. Their structures can be described as polyketide, terpenoid, peptide, alkaloid, quinone, pyrone, sterol, and fatty acid. They have been demonstrated varying biological activities, including antimicrobial, antitumor, insecticidal, antiplasmodial, antimalarial, nematicidal, herbicidal, and enzyme-inhibiting. This review provides a comprehensive overview of secondary metabolites and their biological activities from strains of Paecilomyces.
