Abstract
Nine new germacranolides, sylvaticalides A-H (1-9), and three known analogues (10-12) were isolated from the aerial part of Vernonia sylvatica. Their structures were established using comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Their absolute configurations were determined by X-ray diffraction experiments. The anti-inflammatory activities of all isolated compounds were assessed by evaluating their inhibitory effects on the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, which was activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human THP1-Dual cells, and the interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) pathway, activated by STING agonist MSA-2 in the same cell model. Compounds 1, 2 and 6 showed inhibitory effects on the NF-κB and ISG signaling pathways, with IC50 values ranging from 4.12 to 10.57 μmol·L-1.

Abstract
Employing an MS/MS-based molecular networking-guided strategy, three new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes (1-3) and one undescribed pseudoguaianolide sesquiterpene (8), along with four known eudesmane-type sesquiterpene lactones (4-7) were extracted and purified from the herbs of Carpesium abrotanoides L. Structural elucidation encompassed comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, NMR calculations, DP4+ analysis, and ECD calculations. The cytotoxicity activity of all isolates was evaluated against two human hepatoma carcinoma cells (HepG2 and Hep3B) in vitro. It was demonstrated that compounds 2 and 4 showed moderate cytotoxic against HepG2 and Hep3B cells. Furthermore, all compounds were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. Particularly noteworthy is that, in comparison to the positive control, compound 1 demonstrated significant AChE inhibition with an inhibition rate of 77.86%. In addition, the inhibitory mechanism of compound 1 were investigated by in silico docking analyze and molecular dynamic simulation.

Abstract
The genus Elephantopus L. is a valuable resource rich in sesquiterpenoids with structural diversity and various bioactivities, showing great potential for applications in medicinal field and biological industry. Up to now, over 129 sesquiterpenoids have been isolated and identified from this plant genus, including 114 germacrane-type, 7 guaianolide-type, 5 eudesmane-type, 1 elemanolide-type, and 2 bis-sesquiterpenoids. These sesquiterpenoids were reported to show a diverse range of pharmacological properties, including cytotoxic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal. Consequently, some of them were identified as active scaffolds in the design and development of drugs. Considering that there is currently no overview available that covers the sesquiterpenoids and their biological activities in the Elephantopus genus, this article aims to comprehensively review the chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, pharmacological properties, and structure-activity relationship of sesquiterpenoids found in the Elephantopus genus, which will establish a theoretical framework that can guide further research and exploration of sesquiterpenoids from Elephantopus plants as promising therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Eight structurally diverse rearranged sesquiterpenoids, including seven undescribed sesquiterpenoids (1a/1b and 3-8) were obtained from the aerial parts of Daphne penicillata. 1a/1b, 3, 5 and 6 possess rare rearranged guaiane skeletons and 4 represents the first example of rearranged carotene sesquiterpenoids. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR and ECD calculations. Interestingly, 1a and 1b were a pair of magical interconverting epimers that may interconvert by retro-aldol condensation. The mechanism of interconversion has been demonstrated indirectly by 9-OH derivatization of 1a/1b and a hypothetical biogenetic pathway was proposed. All compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. Among them, 1a/1b and 2 exhibited potential inhibitory activities on the production of NO against LPS-induced BV2 microglial cells.

Abstract
Seven previously undescribed polyhydroxy cembrane-type diterpenoids, olibanols A-G (1-7) were obtained from the gum resin of Boswellia carterii by means of MS/MS molecular networking. Compound 2 possessed four hydroxy groups, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 had three hydroxy groups, 7 with one hydroxy group, among which 1 and 4 were a pair of epimers with double bond at C-3 and hydroxy at C-8. Structures of these previously undescribed compounds were determined by NMR analysis and ECD calculations. All the polyhydroxy cembrane-type diterpenoids obtained were assayed for their hepatoprotective effects against the anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatic damage to the HRZ-induced HepG2 cells. As results indicated, compounds 3, 4, and 6 showed significant hepatoprotective effects against the hepatic damage via the Nrf2 signal pathway, which could be developed as potential hepatoprotective agents against the anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatic damage.

Abstract
A chemical investigation of Solanum lyratum Thunb. (Solanaceae) afforded six pairs of enantiomeric lignanamides consisting of twelve undescribed compounds, along with two undescribed racemic mixtures, and the separations of the enantiomers were accomplished by chiral-phase HPLC. The structures of these undescribed compounds were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data, NMR and electronic circular dichroism calculations. All isolated compounds were assessed for neuroprotective activities in H2O2-induced human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Among tested isolates, some enantiomeric lignanamides exhibited conspicuous neuroprotective effects and AChE inhibitory effect.

Abstract
Watermelon frost, a traditional Chinese medicine produced using watermelon and Glauber's salt, has been widely used for the therapy of oral and throat disorders. Watermelon contains various phytochemical compounds including cucurbitacins and their glycoside derivatives, which have attracted considerable attention because of their medicinal values. However, whether the composition of cucurbitacins existed in watermelon frost was rarely reported. In this study, three cucurbitacins including cucurbitacin B, isocucurbitacin B, and cucurbitacin E were found from watermelon frost extract assisted by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and molecular networking guided strategy, and the compounds were verified using standard solutions. Furthermore, a quantification method for simultaneously targeted analysis of cucurbitacins was established using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry operating in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Among them, cucurbitacin B and cucurbitacin E in watermelon frost samples were determined, and the concentrations were 3.78 ± 0.18 and 0.86 ± 0.19 ng/ml, respectively. While isocucurbitacin B was not detected due to the lower content possibly. In conclusion, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry combined with molecular networking is a very useful technique for the rapid identification of unknown cucurbitacin components in watermelon frost.

Abstract
This study investigated the chemical composition and biosynthesis pathway of compounds produced by Streptomyces sulphureus DSM 40104. With the guild of molecular networking analysis, we isolated and identified six uncommon structural characteristics of compounds, including four newly discovered pyridinopyrones. Based on genomic analysis, we proposed a possible hybrid NRPS-PKS biosynthesis pathway for pyridinopyrones. Notably, this pathway starts with the use of nicotinic acid as the starting unit, which is a unique feature. Compounds 1-3 exhibited moderate anti-neuroinflammatory activity against LPS-induced BV-2 cell inflammation. Our study demonstrates the diversity of polyene pyrone compounds regarding their chemical structure and bioactivity while providing new insights into their biosynthesis pathway. These findings may lead to the development of new treatments for inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Gardneria distincta P. T. Li is traditionally applied as a herbal medicine for treatment various ailments, and is mainly distributed in Southwestern China. Under the guided separation of MS/MS-based molecular networking, eight undescribed oxindole alkaloids, gardistines A-H, as well as 17 known alkaloids were discovered from the whole parts of Gardneria distincta. Structural elucidation of these undescribed alkaloids was performed by various spectroscopic methods. Gardistine A is a rare oxindole gardneria alkaloid bearing an ester carbonyl group attached to C-18, which is the second reported alkaloid of oxindole gardneria-type. All of the identified monoterpene indole alkaloids were investigated for their anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Gardistines A-B and akuammidine demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on the expressions of nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-6 at 20 μM.

Abstract
Using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry guided molecular networking, 12 undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids, namely tanguticatins A-L, 19 known analogs and a previously undescribed triterpene (tanguticatin M) were obtained from Daphne tangutica Maxim and characterized. Their planar structures and configurations were elucidated and unequivocally assigned by detailed spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism spectral calculations and single single-crustal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in murine microglial BV2 cells. Tanguticatin E and K exhibited more potent inhibitory effects than minocycline (positive control).

Abstract
Elephantopus tomentosus L. is a perennial herb taxonomically belonging to the family Asteraceae, which has been used as a folk medicine for the treatment of hepatobiliary diseases. Sesquiterpenoids from this plant have broad biological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. In this study, fifteen structurally diverse sesquiterpenoids comprised 11 germacrane-type and 4 eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids were prioritized to isolated from Elephantopus tomentosus L. based on the HSQC-based Small Molecule Accurate Recognition Technology (SMART) strategy. Among them, ten sesquiterpenoids were previously unreported, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data, computational methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallographic data or electronic circular dichroism calculations. In addition, the structures of two known sesquiterpenoids, molephantin A and B, which were reported to possess E-geometry for the Δ1(10) double bond, were revised by reanalyzing their spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data. Some sesquiterpenoids exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against Hep3B and HepG2 cell lines.

Abstract
Investigation of the whole plant of Daphne gemmata E. Pritz. ex Diels (Thymelaeaceae) using molecular networking coupled to Network Annotation Propagation (NAP) and unsupervised substructure annotation (MS2LDA) led to the discovery of five tigliane diterpenoids, 14 guaiane sesquiterpenoids, one rhamnofolane diterpenoid and three carotene sesquiterpenoids. The structures of the eight undescribed compounds, daphnorbol A and daphnegemmatoids A-G, were characterized by detailed spectroscopic analyses, NMR and ECD calculations, application of Snatzke's method and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG2, A549, and MCF-7 cells by MTT assay. Daphnorbol A exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HepG2 and A549 cells with IC50 values of 4.06 μM and 6.35 μM, respectively. Prostratin showed potent cytotoxic activity against HepG2 and A549 cells with IC50 values of 6.06 μM and 5.45 μM, respectively. Further Hoechst 33,258 and AO-EB staining assays indicated that daphnorbol A and prostratin could induce apoptosis in HepG2 and A549 cells.

Abstract
Highly oxidized germacranolides are mainly found in the genus Elephantopus, contain a characteristic ten-membered molecular core that is highly flexible, and exhibit potential cytotoxic properties. However, their configurations were assigned ambiguously in previous reports due to spectroscopic observation of macrocyclic systems. Herein, 17 highly oxidized germacranolides, including 12 new germacranolides (1-12), were isolated from Elephantopus tomentosus. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic data analysis combined with X-ray crystallography and ECD calculations, and it was possible to propose configurational revisions of five previously reported analogues (13-17). Cytotoxic activities for 1-17 against two hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG2 and Hep3B) were tested, and compounds 1-10 and 13-16 generated IC50 values of 2.2-9.8 μM. Furthermore, the observed cytotoxic activity of 1 was determined as being mediated by inducing the apoptosis of HepG2 and Hep3B cells via mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Four undescribed compounds including one germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactones (1), alkaloid (2) along with two neolignans (3-4) were isolated from Elephantopus scaber L. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated unambiguously by means of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data analysis, and quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism calculations, as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Their anti-tyrosinase activities have been evaluated in vitro and compound 2 exhibited significant inhibitory activity. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to study the interaction patterns between 2 and the tyrosinase.
