Abstract
The genus of Ainsliaea embraces approximately 70 recognized species, many of which have been used to treat various diseases in folklore medicines. As the main metabolites of Ainsliaea plants, Ainsliaea sesquiterpenoids have drawn considerable attention in related scientific communities due to their intriguing structures and a variety of bioactivities. In this review, we intend to provide a full-aspect coverage of sesquiterpenoids reported from the genus of Ainsliaea, including 145 monomeric sesquiterpenoids and 30 oligomeric ones. Multiple aspects will be summarized, including their classification, distributions, structures, bioactivities, and biomimetic syntheses. In addition, their possible biosynthetic pathway will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Macrocephatriolides A and B (1 and 2), two novel guaiane-type sesquiterpene lactone trimers possessing unique linkage patterns, were identified from the whole plant of Ainsliaea macrocephala. The trimeric architecture of 1 features a cyclohexene linkage and a methylene bridge, which were presumably constructed from three constitutive monomers via a Diels-Alder cycloaddition and a Michael addition, respectively. The three monomers of 2 were tethered by a 1,2-ethanediyl and a methylene linkage at the same time. Their complex structures were established by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data inclusive of band-selective CT-HSQC and CT-HMBC and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) ECD calculations. Compound 2 showed potent inhibition against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) with an IC50 value of 26.26 ± 0.88 μM but not compound 1. In the kinetic study, compound 2 was disclosed as a competitive inhibitor of PTP1B with a Ki value of 16.34 ± 4.72 μM. In insulin-stimulated C2C12 myotubes, compound 2 dose-dependently enhanced glucose uptake by activating the insulin signaling pathway. Compound 2 might represent a new scaffold of insulin sensitizers.

Abstract
Dicarabrols B and C (1 and 2), two new carabrane sesquiterpenoid dimers, along with one new carabrane sesquiterpenoid (3) were isolated from the whole plant of Carpesium abrotanoides L. Their full structures were established by extensive analysis of HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopic data, and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Dicarabrol B possesses a novel C30 skeleton featuring a methylene-tethered bridge between two sesquiterpene moieties, while dicarabrol C presents the unique linkage of a cyclopentane ring in the molecule. Dicarabrol C exhibited potent inhibitory effects on HL-60 cells with an IC50 value of 3.7 μmol·L-1.

Abstract
Sesquiterpene lactones supply a variety of scaffolds for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs. In this study, eight undescribed guaianolides, i.e., lavandolides A‒H, were isolated from the whole plants of Artemisia codonocephala, together with five known analogues. Their planar structures and relative configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic measurements, and their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circulardichroism spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The nitric oxide inhibitory effect of all the isolates was assessed on lipopolysaccharide stimulated THP-1 macrophages. Lavandolide D showed a potent inhibitory effect on NO production, with IC50 values of 3.31 ± 0.74 μM. Furthermore, lavandolide D inhibited NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome-mediated interleukin-1β production through activating autophagy.

Abstract
The biomimetic synthesis of guaianolide dimers lavandiolides H, I, and K and artematrolide F containing a spirolactone moiety has been accomplished for the first time from naturally abundant arglabin in four to six steps with an overall yield up to 60%, and a series of natural product-like guaianolide dimers, trimer, and tetramer were also successfully synthesized. Notably, the trimeric compound exhibited antihepatoma cytotoxicity more potent than that of sorafenib with IC50 values of 6.2 μM (HepG2), 6.8 μM (Huh7), and 7.2 μM (SK-HEP-1).

Abstract
Twelve guaianolide-type sesquiterpene oligomers with diverse structures were isolated from the whole plants of Ainsliaea fragrans, including a novel trimer (1) and two new dimers (2, 3). The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated through spectroscopic data interpretation and computational calculations. Ainsfragolide (1) is an unusual guaianolide sesquiterpene trimer generated with a novel C-C linkage at C2'-C15″, which may be biosynthesized prospectively through a further Michael addition. Cytotoxicity results showed that ainsfragolide (1) was the most potent compound against five cancer cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 0.4-8.3 μM.

New Techniques of Structure Elucidation for Sesquiterpenes. PROGRESS IN THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC NATURAL PRODUCTS 2021; 114:253-311.

Abstract
The most significant new techniques that have been used in the twenty-first century for the structure elucidation of sesquiterpenes and some derivatives are reviewed in this chapter. A distinctive feature of these methodologies is the combination of accurate experimental measurements with theoretical data obtained by molecular modeling calculations that allow to visualize, understand, and quantify many structural characteristics. This has been the case for NMR spectroscopy, which has expanded its potential for solving complex structural problems by means of comparison with quantum mechanical molecular models. Ab initio and density functional theory calculations of chemical shifts, coupling constants, and residual chemical shift anisotropies have played important roles in the solution of many structures of sesquiterpenes. The assignments of their absolute configurations by evaluation of calculated and experimental chiroptical properties as electronic and vibrational circular dichroism are also reviewed. This chapter also includes the use of X-ray diffraction analysis with emphasis on calculations of the Flack and Hooft parameters, which are applicable to all molecules that crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups. The accurate molecular models of sesquiterpenes, validated by concordance with their experimental properties, are nowadays essential for the interpretation of the effects of these natural products on biological systems.

[PMID: 31736363 DOI: 10.1080/10286020.2019.1684474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2019] [Revised: 10/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The new natural products reported in 2018 in peer-reviewed articles in journals with good reputations were reviewed and analyzed. The advances made by Asian research groups in the field of natural products chemistry in 2018 were summarized. Compounds with unique structural features and/or promising bioactivities originating from Asian natural sources were discussed based on their structural classification.

Abstract
Two guaianolide sesquiterpenoid tetramers named ainsliatetramers A and B were separated from Ainsliaea fragrans. Through spectroscopic analyses, especially the band-selective CT-HSQC and CT-HMBC techniques, the complex skeleton was constructed from four sesquiterpene units via three different linkages. A biosynthetic pathway was proposed featuring a Michael addition and a regular and a hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Both exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 2 to 15 μM.
