Abstract
Natural products possess structural complexity, diversity and chirality with attractive functions and biological activities that have significantly impacted drug discovery initiatives. Chiral natural products are abundant in nature but rarely occur as racemates. The occurrence of natural products as racemates is very intriguing from a biosynthetic point of view; as enzymes are chiral molecules, enzymatic reactions generating natural products should be stereospecific and lead to single-enantiomer products. Despite several reports in the literature describing racemic mixtures of stereoisomers isolated from natural sources, there has not been a comprehensive review of these intriguing racemic natural products. The discovery of many more natural racemates and their potential enzymatic sources in recent years allows us to describe the distribution and chemical diversity of this ‘class of natural products’ to enrich discussions on biosynthesis. In this Review, we describe the chemical classes, occurrence and distribution of pairs of enantiomers in nature and provide insights about recent advances in analytical methods used for their characterization. Special emphasis is on the biosynthesis, including plausible enzymatic and non-enzymatic formation of natural racemates, and their pharmacological significance. ![]()
Racemic natural products display a wealth of bioactivities and chemical diversity. Their derivation from intriguing racemization processes, through enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways, are discussed here, as well as their pharmacological properties and the analytical techniques developed for their identification, resolution and characterization.

Abstract
As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threatens human health globally, infectious disorders have become one of the most challenging problem for the medical community. Natural products (NP) have been a prolific source of antimicrobial agents with widely divergent structures and a range vast biological activities. A dataset comprising 618 articles, including 646 NP-based compounds from 672 species of natural sources with biological activities against 21 infectious pathogens from five categories, was assembled through manual selection of published articles. These data were used to identify 268 NP-based compounds classified into ten groups, which were used for network pharmacology analysis to capture the most promising lead-compounds such as agelasine D, dicumarol, dihydroartemisinin and pyridomycin. The distribution of maximum Tanimoto scores indicated that compounds which inhibited parasites exhibited low diversity, whereas the chemistries inhibiting bacteria, fungi, and viruses showed more structural diversity. A total of 331 species of medicinal plants with compounds exhibiting antimicrobial activities were selected to classify the family sources. The family Asteraceae possesses various compounds against C. neoformans, the family Anacardiaceae has compounds against Salmonella typhi, the family Cucurbitacea against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the family Ancistrocladaceae against Plasmodium. This review summarizes currently available data on NP-based antimicrobials against refractory infections to provide information for further discovery of drugs and synthetic strategies for anti-infectious agents.

Abstract
The knowledge that natural products (NPs) are potent and selective modulators of important biomacromolecules (e.g., DNA and proteins) has inspired some of the world’s most successful pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Notwithstanding these successes and despite a growing number of reports on naturally occurring pairs of enantiomers, this area of NP science still remains largely unexplored, consistent with the adage “If you don’t seek, you don’t find”. Statistically, a rapidly growing number of enantiomeric NPs have been reported in the last several years. The current review provides a comprehensive overview of recent records on natural enantiomers, with the aim of advancing awareness and providing a better understanding of the chemical diversity and biogenetic context, as well as the biological properties and therapeutic (drug discovery) potential, of enantiomeric NPs.

Abstract
Infections caused by viruses are one of the foremost causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Although a number of antiviral drugs are currently used for treatment of various kinds of viral infection diseases, there is still no available therapeutic agent for most of the viruses in clinical practice. Coumarin is a chemical compound which is found naturally in a variety of plants, it can also be synthetically produced possessing diverse biological effects. More recently, reports have highlighted the potential role of coumarin derivatives as antiviral agents. This review outlines the advances in coumarin-based compounds against various viruses including human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis virus, herpes simplex virus, Chikungunya virus and Enterovirus 71, as well as the structure activity relationship and the possible mechanism of action of the most potent coumarin derivatives.

Abstract
Viral infections are among the most complex medical problems and have been a major threat to the economy and global health. Several epidemics and pandemics have occurred due to viruses, which has led to a significant increase in mortality and morbidity rates. Natural products have always been an inspiration and source for new drug development because of their various uses. Among all-natural sources, plant sources are the most dominant for the discovery of new therapeutic agents due to their chemical and structural diversity. Despite the traditional use and potential source for drug development, natural products have gained little attention from large pharmaceutical industries. Several plant extracts and isolated compounds have been extensively studied and explored for antiviral properties against different strains of viruses. In this review, we have compiled antiviral plant extracts and natural products isolated from plants reported since 2015.

Abstract
Ochrazepines A-D (1-4), four new conjugates dimerized from 2-hydroxycircumdatin C (5) and aspyrone (6) by a nucleophilic addition to epoxide, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the coral-associated Aspergillus ochraceus strain LCJ11-102. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined based on spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Compounds 1-4 were also obtained by the semisynthesis from a nucleophilic addition of 2-hydroxycircumdatin C (5) to aspyrone (6). New compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against 10 human cancer cell lines while new compounds 2 and 4 selectively inhibited U251 (human glioblastoma cell line) and compound 3 was active against A673 (human rhabdomyoma cell line), U87 (human glioblastoma cell line), and Hep3B (human liver cancer cell line) with IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) values of 2.5-11.3 μM among 26 tested human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Natural coumarins and their derivatives isolated from various plants or microorganisms have inherent antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer properties among many biological activities. Some of these coumarins and their derivatives lead to self-programmed cancer cell death (apoptosis) via different mechanisms, which will be discussed. The link between bacterial and viral infections to cancer compels us to highlight fascinating reports from coumarin isolation from microorganisms; comment on the recent bioavailability studies of natural or derived coumarins; and discuss our perspectives with respect to bioisosterism in coumarins, p-glycoprotein inhibition and covalent modification, and bioprobes. Overall, this review hopes to stimulate and offer in particular medicinal chemists and the reader in general an outlook on natural coumarins and their derivatives with potential for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Four new C19-diterpenoid alkaloids brevicanines A-D (1-4) with rotameric phenomenon were isolated from Aconitum brevicalcaratum. They all possessed an unusual axial chiral phenyl-quinazoline side chain and their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Meanwhile, brevicanines A and B were semi-synthesized from their parent compound scaconine to further confirm their structures. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy was also used to investigate the atropisomers of brevicanine A, in which two sets of signals in 1H NMR spectra were observed at room temperature and coalesced over 140 °C. It's the first time to determine the atropisomeric preference of diterpenoid alkaloids.
