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
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
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
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
Fifteen undescribed lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers, designated chloranholides F-T (1-15), together with twenty-five known analogs (16-40), were isolated from the whole plants of Chloranthus holostegius. The isolate structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data and chemical methods, and their absolute configurations were determined by X-ray crystallography and electronic circular dichroism spectra. In anti-neuroinflammatory assays, all isolates were evaluated by examination of their inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells, and the results showed that 21-24, 26, 30, 32 and 36 significantly inhibited the production of the inflammatory mediator NO, with IC50 values ranging from 3.18 to 11.46 μM, which was better than that of quercetin. Structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that two essential functional groups played an indispensable role in the anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, 22 and 24 inhibited the LPS-induced upregulation of iNOS and COX-2 enzymes in BV-2 microglia at the protein level.

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.

Lindenane-Type Sesquiterpene Dimers Mitigate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation by Inhibiting Toll-Like Receptor Signaling. Chem Biodivers 2023; 20:e202300025.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and trigger an inflammatory response via the myeloid differential factor 88 (MyD88)-dependent and toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF)-dependent pathways. Lindenane type sesquiterpene dimers (LSDs) are characteristic metabolites of plants belonging to the genus Sarcandra (Chloranthaceae). The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory effects of the LSDs shizukaol D (1) and sarcandrolide E (2) on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages in vitro, and explore the underlying mechanisms. Both LSDs neutralized the LPS-induced morphological changes and production of nitric oxide (NO), as determined by CCK-8 assay and Griess assay, respectively. Furthermore, shizukaol D (1) and sarcandrolide E (2) downregulated interferon β (IFNβ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA levels as measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B p65 (p65), nuclear factor kappa-Bα (IκBα), Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (p38), MyD88, IL-1RI-associated protein kinase 1 (IRAK1), and transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) proteins in the Western blotting assay. In conclusion, LSDs can alleviate the inflammatory response by inhibiting the TLR/MyD88 signalling pathway.

Abstract
Sarglamides A-E (1-5), representing the first example of heterodimers of a trans-N-cinnamoylindolidinoid and α-phelladrene derivatives, were isolated from Sarcandra glabra subsp. brachystachys. Particularly, compounds 4 and 5 possess unprecedented cagelike 6/6/5/6/5- and 6/6/6/6/5-fused pentacyclic scaffolds, respectively. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallography, quantum-chemical calculations, and chemical conversions. Plausible biosynthetic pathways of 1-5 involving the coisolated enantiomers 6a and 6b were proposed. Compounds 3-7 showed inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.

Abstract
Two new glycosides of methyl everninate, rhodomollosides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the aerial parts of a medicinal plant Rhododendron molle. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses as well as HPLC analyses for thiazolidine derivatives of their sugar moieties. The sugar moiety of rhodomolloside A (1) was elucidated to be a rare monosaccharide, D-allose, while rhodomolloside B (2) was assigned as a D-glucoside of methyl everninate. Furthermore, they were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against RAW264.7 cells, and for their inhibitory effects with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages RAW 264.7 cells model.

Abstract
Traditional herbal medicines, which have been used in the matured traditional medical systems as well as those have been used in ethnic medical systems, are invaluable resources of drug seeds. Ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological survey may provide useful information of these herbal medicines, which are valuable for searching new bioactive molecules. From this viewpoint, we have been performing the ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological field studies in Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, and Mongolia. Phytochemical studies on traditional herbal medicines were performed based on the information obtained by our ethnobotanical survey. Herbal medicines used in Uzbekistan and Bangladesh were also investigated on the basis of the ethnopharmacological information obtained from collaborative researchers in the respective regions. Some studies were carried out for searching active substance(s) based on bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation. Over 150 new molecules were isolated in these studies, and their various biological activities were also demonstrated. This review summarizes the results of phytochemical studies of those traditional herbal medicines as well as biological activities of the isolated molecules.

Abstract
Phytochemical study on a non-medicinal part of a plant material for herbal medicine, the roots of Schisandra chinensis, was conducted to isolate five new triterpenes, schinensins A-D (1-4) and 3-O-methylchangnanic acid (5), together with 21 known compounds including 10 triterpenes, one sterol, two sesquiterpenes, seven lignans, and one flavonoid. The structures of new triterpenes (1-5) were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic analyses aided with TDDFT ECD calculations. Schinensin A (1) was a dinortriterpene possessing 28-norschiartane skeleton, while schinensins B-D (2-4) were assigned as 3,4:9,10-disecocycloartane, 3,4-secocycloartane, and cycloartane triterpenes, respectively. In an evaluation of antiproliferative activities against human cancer cell lines, some triterpenes exhibited significant activities against human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells as compared to the other cell lines (A549, HeLa, and RPMI8226).

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation on the aerial parts of a Lamiaceous medicinal plant Perovskia scrophulariifolia collected in Uzbekistan resulted in the isolation of two new 20-norabietane diterpenes, along with thirteen known diterpenes including one 20-norabietane, eight abietanes, one 6,7-secoabietane, and three icetexanes. The structures of new 20-norabietane diterpenes, perovsfolins C (1) and D (2), were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses aided with calculations of ECD spectra. Perovsfolin C (1) is the first 20-norabietane diterpene possessing a 1,11-epoxy moiety, while perovsfolin D (2) is a 20-norabitetane diterpene with a 2-hydroxy-1,4-quinone moiety as C-ring. Anti-neuroinflammatory activity of the isolated diterpenes on microglial cells was evaluated.
