Abstract
Seven [4 + 2]-type triterpene-diterpene hybrids derived from a rearranged or a normal lanostane unit (dienophile) and an abietane moiety (diene), forrestiacids E-K (1-7, respectively), were further isolated and characterized from Pseudotsuga forrestii (a vulnerable conifer endemic to China). The intriguing molecules were revealed with the guidance of an LC-MS/MS-based molecular ion networking strategy combined with conventional phytochemical procedures. Their chemical structures with absolute configurations were established by spectroscopic data, chemical transformation, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. They all contain a rare bicyclo[2.2.2]octene motif. Both forrestiacids J (6) and K (7) represent the first examples of this unique class of [4 + 2]-type hybrids that arose from a normal lanostane-type dienophile. Some isolates remarkably inhibited ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), with IC50 values ranging from 1.8 to 11 μM. Docking studies corroborated the findings by highlighting the interactions between the bioactive compounds and the ACL enzyme (binding affinities: -9.9 to -10.7 kcal/mol). The above findings reveal the important role of protecting plant species diversity in support of chemical diversity and potential sources of new therapeutics.

Abstract
Natural product chemistry is constantly challenged by newly discovered, complex molecules. Elements of complexity arise from unprecedented frameworks, with a large amount of densely packed stereogenic centres and different functional groups along with a generally high oxidation state. As a prime example, rearranged triterpenoids possess all these elements. For their total synthesis, a limit of what is considered sensible in terms of steps and yield is frequently reached. As an alternative, semisynthetic approaches have gained a great amount of attention in recent years. In this featured article, we present our and others' contributions towards the development of efficient and economic syntheses of complex terpenoid natural products and elaborate on the underlying rationale of biogenetic space-guided synthetic analysis.

Abstract
A bioinspired synthesis of spirochensilide A from commercially available lanosterol is reported. The synthesis features a directed C-H oxidation, a Wagner-Meerwein-type double methyl migration, a Meinwald rearrangement, and a double-bond isomerization/spiroketal formation cascade. The proposed biosynthetic speculation was modified by this synthetic sequence, which also served as a platform for the synthesis of other lanostanes with migrating methyl groups.

Abstract
Triterpenoids and related abeo-steroids are of interest to the scientific community for their potent and varied biological activities as well as their unique structures. Within this large and diverse family of natural products, the fir metabolites (-)-spirochensilide A and B are particularly noteworthy for their controversial biogenesis. We herein report the chemical synthesis of the spirochensilides, which involves a concerted sequence of bioinspired rearrangements contributing to its resolution. Points of divergence after each rearrangement step also allow for an approach to the abifarine family of natural products with abifarine B as a synthetic target. Key to this strategy is a radical-polar crossover event to initiate the first rearrangement without the need for a sacrificial functionality to be introduced beforehand.

Abstract
Forrestiacids A (1) and B (2) are a novel class of [4+2] type pentaterpenoids derived from a rearranged lanostane moiety (dienophile) and an abietane unit (diene). These unprecedented molecules were isolated using guidance by molecular ion networking (MoIN) from Pseudotsuga forrestii, an endangered member of the Asian Douglas Fir Family. The intermolecular hetero-Diels-Alder adducts feature an unusual bicyclo[2.2.2]octene ring system. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, GIAO NMR calculations and DP4+ probability analyses, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and X-ray diffraction analysis. This unique addition to the pentaterpene family represents the largest and the most complex molecule successfully assigned using computational approaches to predict accurately chemical shift values. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potent inhibitory activities (IC50 s <5 μM) of ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), a new drug target for the treatment of glycolipid metabolic disorders including hyperlipidemia. Validating this activity 1 effectively attenuated the de novo lipogenesis in HepG2 cells. These findings provide a new chemical class for developing potential therapeutic agents for ACL-related diseases with strong links to traditional medicines.

Abstract
Nine new cycloartane triterpenoids (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, and 18) and two new rare tetraterpenoids (24 and 25) formed via a [4 + 2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition between a lanostane triterpenoid and a monoterpenoid, along with 14 previously known triterpenoids, were isolated from the bark of the branches of Abies chensiensis. The structures and absolute configurations of new compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic data, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism. Some of the isolates were evaluated for their antibacterial activity by determining their minimum inhibitory concentrations and growth inhibition curves and examining for morphological alterations. Among the compounds tested, the new cycloartane triterpenoid 8 was the most active against Bacillus subtilis. Thus, morphological alterations of B. subtilis on treatment with 8 were observed by scanning electron microscopy, showing that the cells were irregular, wrinkled, and disrupted.

Abstract
Three new diterpenoids (1-3) and three new triterpenoids (4-6) were isolated from the trunk of Abies holophylla together with 19 known terpenoids. The chemical structures of 1-6 were determined through NMR and MS data analyses. Also, the structural assignments of some of these compounds were verified and elucidated utilizing computational methods coupled with a statistical procedure (CP3, DP4, and DP4+). All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15). In addition, the compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine microglia BV2 cells by measuring nitric oxide levels, and for their neuroprotective activity in C6 cells through induction of nerve growth factor.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Abies faxoniana Rehd. led to the isolation of two pairs of new epimeric spirolactone-type triterpenoids (1/1' and 2/2') and 11 known terpenoids (3-13). Compounds 1/1' and 2/2' were isolated as epimeric mixtures due to the C-23 ketal tautomerism in their spirolactone structures. The dynamic HPLC manifested that the C-23 epimeric mixtures interconverted into each other in solution. Structure determinations were based on extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis. Meanwhile, their cytotoxic activities were tested by MTT method. Compound 5 showed cytotoxicities against MCF-7 and A549 cells with IC50 values of 6.5 and 5.7μM, respectively. Compounds 1/1' had IC50 values of 10.0 and 12.3μM for Huh7 and SMMC7721 cells, respectively.

Abstract
Eight non-carotenoid tetraterpenoids, abibalsamins C-J (3-10), were isolated from the oleoresin of Abies balsamea. Their chemical structures were determined based on analysis of 1D/2D NMR and MS data. The assignment of their relative configurations was accomplished using homonuclear coupling constants in tandem with ROESY data. However, the presence of two stereogenic centers on a flexible side chain complicated the characterization. In silico models and ROESY data were analyzed in order to assign relative configurations of the isolated tetraterpenoids. Abibalsamins B and H-J showed moderate cytotoxicity against human A549 lung carcinoma cells, with IC50 values ranging between 6.7 and 10 μM.

Abstract
Nine lanostane-type triterpenoids were isolated from branches and leaves of Abies faxoniana, along with 10 known compounds. Two were isolated as inseparable mixtures of epimers at C-23 of the γ-lactone ring that had a lactol structure. The structures of the nine compounds were established by spectroscopic analysis and circular dichroism (CD) data. The absolute configurations at the stereogenic centres of two of the known compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. One compound showed cytotoxic activities against HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549 cells with IC50 values of 8.9, 7.6, and 4.2μM, respectively. The isolated compounds were tested for their effects on human DNA topoisomerases I and II. One was found to be a selective inhibitor of human topo II activity with an IC50 value of 53.5μM, which was comparable to that of the topo II inhibitor etoposide (IC50=49.6μM).

Abstract
Five pairs of new epimeric lanostane-type triterpenoids, abiespirones A-D (1-4) and G (7), two pairs of new epimeric cycloartane-type triterpenoids, abiespirones E and F (5, 6), and a pair of new epimeric 7(8→9)abeo-spirolanostane abiespirones H (8) with spiro-B/C and -E/F ring systems were isolated from Abies faxoniana as inseparable mixtures of C-23 epimers in a specific proportion. The HPLC plots showed that each purified isomer rapidly equilibrated with the C-23 epimer in solution. The structures of compounds 1-8 were elucidated by analysis of the NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 6 showed cytotoxicity against three hepatoma cell lines, namely, HepG2, Huh7, and SMMC7721, with IC50 values of 9.8, 7.5, and 10.7 μM, respectively, but exerted low cytotoxicity on normal QSG7701 hepatic cells, indicating its selective cytotoxicity for hepatoma cells. Compound 6 arrests the cell cycle at G2/M and induces cell apoptosis in Huh7 cells. In addition, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected in Huh7 cells when treated with compound 6, and a ROS scavenger partly blocked the effects of compound 6-induced Huh7 cell death, suggesting that compound 6-induced apoptosis is associated with elevated levels of ROS in Huh7 cells.

Abstract
Abieslactone is a triterpenoid lactone isolated from Abies plants. Previous studies have demonstrated that its derivative abiesenonic acid methyl ester possesses anti-tumor-promoting activity in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, cell viability assay demonstrated that abieslactone had selective cytotoxicity against human hepatoma cell lines. Immunostaining experiments revealed that abieslactone induced HepG2 and SMMC7721 cell apoptosis. Flow cytometry and western blot analysis showed that the apoptosis was associated with cell cycle arrest during the G1 phase, up-regulation of p53 and p21, and down-regulation of CDK2 and cyclin D1. Furthermore, our results revealed that induction of apoptosis through a mitochondrial pathway led to upregulation of Bax, down-regulation of Bcl-2, mitochondrial release of cytochrome c, reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and activation of caspase cascades (Casp-9 and -3). Activation of caspase cascades also resulted in the cleavage of PARP fragment. Involvement of the caspase apoptosis pathway was confirmed using caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK pretreatment. Recent studies have shown that ROS is upstream of Akt signal in mitochondria-mediated hepatoma cell apoptosis. Our results showed that the accumulation of ROS was detected in HepG2 cells when treated with abieslactone, and ROS scavenger partly blocked the effects of abieslactone-induced HepG2 cell death. In addition, inactivation of total and phosphorylated Akt activities was found to be involved in abieslactone-induced HepG2 cell apoptosis. Therefore, our findings suggested that abieslactone induced G1 cell cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway and the ROS/Akt pathway in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
During a survey on chemical constituents of Abies nukiangensis, seven previously unreported compounds, including six triterpenes (1-6) and one phenol (7) were isolated and characterized, together with 37 known miscellaneous chemical constituents. The structures of compounds 1-7 were established mainly by extensive analysis of the 1D and 2D NMR, as well as HRMS data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 8 were confirmed unambiguously by the Cu-Kα X-ray crystallography. Compounds 3 and 8-10 showed significant anti-hepatitis C virus effects with EC50 values of 3.73, 2.67, 1.33 and 2.25μM, respectively.

Abstract
Phytochemical analysis of A. balsamea oleoresin led to the isolation of three new 3,4-seco-lanostane triterpenoids 1-3, one new cycloartane triterpenoid 4 along with fourteen known terpenoids. Structure determinations were based on extensive 1D/2D NMR, IR and MS spectroscopic analyses, and comparison with literature data. The isolated compounds were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxicity against human cell lines (A549, DLD-1, WS1) and their antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Abiesonic acid (6) exhibited weak cytotoxic activity against A549 (IC50 = 22 µM) while compounds 1 and 4 were weakly active against S. aureus (MIC = 25 µM).
