Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of global mortality, and there is an urgent need for effective treatment strategies. Gut microbiota-dependent metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) promotes the development of cardiovascular diseases, and shizukaol C, a natural sesquiterpene isolated from Chloranthus multistachys with various biological activities, might exhibit beneficial role in preventing TMAO-induced vascular inflammation. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and the underlying mechanisms of shizukaol C on TMAO-induced vascular inflammation. METHODS The effect and underlying mechanism of shizukaol C on TMAO-induced adhesion molecules expression, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) adhesion to VSMC were evaluated by western blot, cell adhesion assay, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence assay, and quantitative Real-Time PCR, respectively. To verify the role of shizukaol C in vivo, TMAO-induced vascular inflammation model were established using guidewire-induced injury on mice carotid artery. Changes in the intima area and the expression of GSTpi, VCAM-1, CD68 were examined using haematoxylin-eosin staining, and immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS Our data demonstrated that shizukaol C significantly suppressed TMAO-induced adhesion molecule expression and the bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) adhesion in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Mechanically, shizukaol C inhibited TMAO-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/p65 activation, and the JNK inhibition was dependent on the shizukaol C-mediated glutathione-S-transferase pi (GSTpi) expression. By further molecular docking and protein-binding analysis, we demonstrated that shizukaol C directly binds to Keap1 to induce Nrf2 nuclear translocation and upregulated GSTpi expression. Consistently, our in vivo experiment showed that shizukaol C elevated the expression level of GSTpi in carotid arteries and alleviates TMAO-induced vascular inflammation. CONCLUSION Shizukaol C exerts anti-inflammatory effects in TMAO-treated VSMC by targeting Keap1 and activating Nrf2-GSTpi signaling and resultantly inhibits the downstream JNK-NF-κB/p65 activation and VSMC adhesion, and alleviates TMAO-induced vascular inflammation in vivo, suggesting that shizukaol C may be a potential drug for treating TMAO-induced vascular diseases.

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
A photoinduced electron transfer (PET)-triggered cascade reaction has been devised for the conversion of second-generation enol silyl ethers into angularly fused tricyclic scaffolds. Utilizing readily available and cost-effective DCA and phenanthrene as the catalytic systems, this cascade transformation is achieved with high efficiency. The reaction demonstrates a good substrate scope and excellent stereoselectivity, thereby enriching the realm of PET-induced cascade reactions. Additionally, the radical adducts generated through this process can serve as valuable subunits for the synthesis of complex molecules.

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
[4 + 2] cycloaddition has led to diverse polycyclic chiral architectures, serving as novel sources for organic synthesis and biological exploration. Here, an unprecedented class of cadinane sesquiterpene [4 + 2] dimers, henryinins A-E (1-5), with a unique 6/6/6/6/6-fused pentacyclic system, were isolated from Schisandra henryi. The divergent total syntheses of compounds 1-5 and their enantiomers (6-10) were concisely accomplished in eight linear steps using a protection-free approach. Mechanistic studies illustrated the origin of selectivity in the key [4 + 2] cycloaddition as well as the inhibition of reaction pathway bifurcation via desymmetrization. The chemical proteomics results showed that a pair of enantiomers shared common targets (PRDX5 C100 and BLMH C73) and had unique targets (USP45 C588 for 4 and COG7 C419 for 9). This work provides experimental evidence for the discovery of unprecedented cadinane dimers from selective Diels-Alder reaction and a powerful strategy to explore the biological properties of natural products.

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.

Abstract
The lindenane dimeric sesquiterpenoids with versatile biological activities are accessible via biometric synthesis, in which the endo-selective Diels-Alder reaction plays an important role. To explore the endo-selectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction between lindenane sesquiterpenes promoted by pyridines, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explore the reaction mechanism between pyridines and D-A monomers. The calculations performed on the reaction pathways explain why pyridines can promote endo-selectivity via hydrogen bonding, and the hydrogen bond strength is a key factor driving the Diels-Alder reaction in major biochemical systems. These DFT-level insights will pave the way for designing better promoters for Diels-Alder reactions in biometric synthesis applications.

Abstract
The asymmetric total synthesis of three lindenane sesquiterpenoid oligomers, shizukaol J, trichloranoid C and trishizukaol A, has been accomplished concisely in 15, 16 and 18 longest linear steps, respectively. The expeditious construction of molecular architectures was facilitated by Nelson's catalytic asymmetric ketene-aldehyde cycloaddition, a sequence of allylic alkylation/reduction/acidic cyclization to forge a lactone, and a double aldol condensation cascade to construct the 5/6 bicyclic system. Diastereoselective nucleophilic substitution promoted by a phase transfer catalyst constructed the C11 quaternary stereogenic center, thus prompting synthetic efficacy toward shizukaol J. The synthesis of trichloranoid C and trishizukaol A was achieved after a cascade involving furanyl diene formation and a Diels-Alder reaction, as well as a one-pot sequence involving furan oxidation and global deprotection. Furthermore, our biological evaluation revealed that two compounds exhibited unexpected toxicity against tumor cell lines.

Abstract
A strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of desacyl furanmonogones A and B has been achieved. The key steps in this synthesis are (1) an Fe(ClO4)3-mediated oxidative radical cyclization for construction of a cis-fused [5-6]-bicyclic core with a bridged lactone substitute, (2) a phosphorane-mediated rearrangement to convert the cis-fused [5-6]-bicyclic core to the corresponding trans-fused [5-6]-bicyclic core, and (3) a Au-catalyzed cascade reaction for formation of the 4,5-seco-3(2H)-furanone motif.

Abstract
Natural disesquiterpenoids represent a small group of secondary metabolites characterized by complex molecular scaffolds and interesting pharmacological profiles. In the last decade, more than 400 new disesquiterpenoids have been discovered and fully characterized, pointing out once more the "magic touch" of nature in the design of new compounds. The perfect blend of complex and unique architectures and biological activity has made sesquiterpene dimers an attractive and challenging synthetic target, inspiring organic chemists to find new and biomimetic approaches to replicate the efficiency and the selectivity of natural processes under laboratory conditions. In this work, we present a review covering the literature from 2010 to 2020 reporting all the efforts made in the total synthesis of complex natural disesquiterpenoids.

Resistance to Some But Not Other Dimeric Lindenane Sesquiterpenoid Esters Is Mediated by Mutations in a Plasmodium falciparum Esterase. ACS Infect Dis 2020; 6:2994-3003.

Abstract
Unique lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimers from Chloranthecae spp. were recently identified with promising in vitro antiplasmodial activity and potentially novel mechanisms of action. To gain mechanistic insights to this new class of natural products, in vitro selection of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to the most active antiplasmodial compound, chlorajaponilide C, was explored. In all selected resistant clones, the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of chlorajaponilide C increased >250-fold, and whole genome sequencing revealed mutations in the recently discovered P. falciparum prodrug activation and resistance esterase (PfPARE). Chlorajaponilide C was highly potent (mean EC50 = 1.6 nM, n = 34) against fresh Ugandan P. falciparum isolates. The analysis of the structure-resistance relationships revealed that in vitro potency of a subset of lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimers was not mediated by PfPARE mutations. Thus, chlorajaponilide C, but not some related compounds, required parasite esterase activity for in vitro potency, and those compounds serve as the foundation for development of potent and selective antimalarials.

Abstract
As a natural diterpenoid, crotophorbolone possesses a challenging trans,trans-5/7/6 framework decorated with six contiguous stereogenic centers and is structurally and biogenetically related to tigliane-type diterpenoids with intriguing bioactivities such as phorbol and prostratin. Based on the convergent strategy, we completed an eighteen-step total synthesis of crotophorbolone starting from (−)-carvone and (+)-dimethyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-tartrate. The key elements of the synthesis involve expedient installation of the six-membered ring and the five-membered ring with multiple functional groups at an early stage, cyclization of the seven-membered ring through alkenylation of the ketone between the five-membered ring and the six-membered ring, functional group-sensitive ring-closing metathesis and final selective introduction of hydroxyls at C20 and C4. Convergent total synthesis of crotophorbolone was accomplished in 18 longest linear steps. Observation of unexpected thermodynamic stability of a cis,trans-5/7/6 tricycle would benefit synthetic design of tigliane- and daphnane-related diterpenoids.![]()

Abstract
Two new lindenane sesquiterpenes were obtained from the roots of Lindera myrrha. These compounds were structurally elucidated by HRMS data, extensive NMR analyses, and comparison between experimental and theoretical 13C-NMR data. Myrrhalindenane A is the first monomeric seco-d lindenane displaying a non-rearranged, cyclohexanic C-ring. Myrrhalindenane B is the second occurrence of an angular lindenane-sesquiterpene related to a C6-C7 lactonization.
