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
Trisarcglaboids A and B (1 and 2), representing the first example of lindenane sesquiterpenoid trimers repolymerized based on the classical [4 + 2] type dimer, together with known biogenic precursors chlorahololide D (3) and sarcandrolide A (4), were identified as chemical components of the root of Sarcandra glabra. The novel trimeric lindenane sesquiterpenoid skeletons, including their absolute configurations, were characterized using MS, NMR, ECD, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The proposed Diels-Alder cycloaddition between Δ2(3) of the tiglic acyl group of the classical [4 + 2] type dimer and Δ15(4),5(6) of the third lindenane may serve as the key biogenic step. In addition, compound 1 exerted significant cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 7 μM, potentially through blocking Akt phosphorylation and activating the endogenous apoptosis pathway.

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
Untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a widely used method for discovering natural products (NPs); however, automatic MS/MS data mining for the discovery of NPs remains a challenge. In this work, LindenaneExtractor, a program based on characteristic MS/MS ions of lindenane sesquiterpenoids (LSs) was developed to automatically extract the LSs features for target LS discovery in plant extracts. To build this program, fragmentation mechanisms of characteristic ions of LSs were elucidated and confirmed by quantum chemical calculation and deuterium-labeled compounds. Subsequently, the information of characteristic ions was integrated and coded to develop LindenaneExtractor, which was further examined by standards and several public databases. Finally, the target LS features in Sarcandra hainanensis extract were automatically extracted by LindenaneExtractor and visualized by feature-based molecular networking and two-dimensional (2D) retention time-m/z plot, leading to the discovery of 96 target LSs in total, 37 of these compounds were potentially new NPs and one was confirmed by further isolation. This work proposed a new strategy for target NP analysis and discovery based on automatic MS/MS data mining, which could significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of NP discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Makino (Chloranthaceae) is abundant and shows important clinical effects. Traditionally, S.glabra is used to treat diseases involving inflammation, such as bone fracture and joint swelling. Lindenane-type sesquiterpenoids and dimers are the major anti-inflammatory components in S. glabra. Trishizukaol A (TSA), is an abundant lindenane sesquiterpenoid trimer in S.glabra, but its anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms are poorly understood. PURPOSE The study was undertaken to unveil the inhibition of inflammation and mechanism of TSA in RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS Griess reagent and ELISA were utilized to measure nitric oxide (NO) production and inflammatory cytokines, respectively. Signal proteins such as JNK, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) were quantitatively evaluated in western blot experiments. Flow cytometry was used to determine the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS). More importantly, Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability (DARTS) assay and molecular docking were conducted to investigate the potential targets of TSA. RESULTS TSA effectively reduced the NO production (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) at 12.53 ± 0.31 μM). In addition, TSA restrained the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and it could up-regulate the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10). TSA also decreased ROS levels by enhancing the levels of Nrf2 protein and its related target genes. Meanwhile, TSA regulated the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) by suppressing the MAPKs signaling pathway. Importantly, TSA may suppress the inflammation through the TRAF6/MAPKs pathway. CONCLUSION TSA suppressed the inflammatory mechanism mediated by the TRAF6/MAPKs pathway. Our research first revealed the anti-inflammatory effect of a lindenane sesquiterpenoid trimer, providing a therapeutic drug candidate for inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, the lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid trimers may be among the main anti-inflammatory components in S. glabra.

Abstract
To illuminate the similarities and differences between wild and cultivated Sarcandra glabra (S. glabra), we performed a comprehensively study on 26 batches of cultivated S. glabra and 2 batches of wild S. glabra. Chemical constituents and distribution characteristics of roots, stems and leaves in both wild and cultivated S. glabra were investigated through UHPLC-TOF-MS method. The result revealed that there were significant differences between roots, stems and leaves in S. glabra. And the chemical contents in the root part were less or even absence than those in leaf and stem, which suggested the root organ could be excluded as medicine. Meanwhile, the chemical contents of stems and leaves in cultivated S. glabra was sightly higher than that of wild samples. Therefore, cultivated S. glabra may have a high potential for substitution of wild S. glabra without affecting its pharmaceutical properties. In summary, our study could provide important information to the molecular basis for quality control of S. glabra.

Abstract
Fourteen new monoterpene-flavonoid conjugates including four monoterpene-conjugated chalcones (glabratins A-D, 1-4), seven monoterpene-conjugated dihydrochalcones (glabratins E-K, 5-11), and three monoterpene-conjugated flavanones (glabratins L-N, 12-14), together with four known analogues (15-18) were isolated from the aerial parts of Sarcandra glabra. The structures and the absolute configurations of these compounds were elucidated by the spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1, 4-6, 9-14, and 18 showed obvious cell autophagy-inducing activities at 25 μM in HEK293 cells. Furthermore, the bioassay results also showed that 18 induced cell autophagy in a dose dependent manner. Our findings revealed a rare class of monoterpene-flavonoid conjugates in nature and firstly reported their autophagy-inducing activities.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 82:153472. [PMID: 33550145 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Makino (Chloranthaceae) has a long history of being used in Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) to treat painful joints, fractures, arthritis, and other diseases caused by inflammation. It has been reported that lindenane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers are main anti-inflammatory ingredient of S. glabra. Meanwhile, shizukaol A, the precursor of these sesquiterpene dimers, possesses a good inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) in our previous study. But its anti-inflammatory mechanism is still unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism and potential targets of shizukaol A in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. METHODS The release of NO and inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were measured by Griess reagent and ELISA, respectively. The relevant proteins including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were detected by western blot. Nuclear translocation of p65, HMGB1 and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) were examined by immunofluorescence. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was tested by flow cytometry. The target of shizukaol A was investigated by molecular docking and Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability (DARTS). RESULTS Shizukaol A had a good inhibitory effect on NO with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 13.79 ± 1.11 μM. Shizukaol A could down-regulate the expression of iNOS and COX-2. Further studies demonstrated that shizukaol A can significantly inhibit phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Meanwhile, shizukaol A decreased the level of ROS and enhanced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Furthermore, shizukaol A up-regulated the expression of Nrf2 and its nuclear translocation. More importantly, shizukaol A could inhibit activation of HMGB1 by targeting HMGB1. CONCLUSION Shizukaol A inhibited inflammation by targeting HMGB1 to regulate the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Thus, shizukaol A may be an attractive therapeutic candidate for inflammatory diseases.
