Abstract
One new highly degraded steroid, namely 21-nor-4-ene-chaxine A (1) furnishing a 5/6/5-tricyclic, along with one known related analogue (2), were isolated from the South China Sea sponge Spongia officinalis. Their structures including absolute configurations were established by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, TDDFT-ECD calculation, and comparison with the spectral data previously reported in the literature. Compound 1 represent the new member of incisterols family with a highly degradation in ring B. In vitro bioassays revealed compound 2 exhibited significant anti-microglial inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.

Abstract
Marine sponges of the genus Spongia have proven to be unabated sources of novel secondary metabolites with remarkable scaffold diversities and significant bioactivities. The discovery of chemical substances from Spongia sponges has continued to increase over the last few years. The current work provides an up-to-date literature survey and comprehensive insight into the reported metabolites from the members of the genus Spongia, as well as their structural features, biological activities, and structure-activity relationships when available. In this review, 222 metabolites are discussed based on published data from the period from mid-2015 to the beginning of 2024. The compounds are categorized into sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, sesterterpenes, meroterpenes, linear furanoterpenes, steroids, alkaloids, and other miscellaneous substances. The biological effects of these chemical compositions on a vast array of pharmacological assays including cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, neuroprotective, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)-inhibitory, and phytoregulating activities are also presented.

Abstract
Stereochemically defined trisubstituted alkenes with a bromide and a methyl group at a terminus can be readily and stereoretentively derivatized through catalytic cross-coupling, affording unsaturated fragments found in many bioactive natural products. A direct method for generating such entities would be by stereocontrolled catalytic cross-metathesis (CM). Such methods are scarce however. Here, we present a stereoretentive strategy for CM between tri-, Z- or E-di, or monosubstituted olefins and Z- or E-2-bromo-2-butene, affording an assortment of E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenyl bromides. The majority of the transformations were catalyzed by two Mo monoaryloxide pyrrolide (MAP) complexes, one purchasable and the other accessible by well-established protocols. Substrates, such as feedstock trisubstituted olefins, can be purchased; the alkenyl bromide reagents are commercially available or can be prepared in two steps in a multigram scale. The catalytic process can be used to generate products that contain polar moieties, such as an amine or an alcohol, or sterically hindered alkenes that are α- or β-branched. The utility of the approach is highlighted by a brief and stereocontrolled synthesis of an unsaturated fragment of phomactin A and a concise total synthesis of ambrein. An unexpected outcome of these investigations was the discovery of a new role for the presence of a small-molecule alkene in an olefin metathesis reaction. DFT studies indicate that this additive swiftly reacts with a short-lived Mo alkylidene and probably helps circumvent the formation of catalytically inactive square pyramidal metallacyclobutanes, enhancing the efficiency of a transformation.

Abstract
The compounds 11,12,13-tri-nor-sesquiterpenes are degraded sesquiterpenoids which have lost the C3 unit of isopropyl or isopropenyl at C-7 of the sesquiterpene skeleton. The irregular C-backbone originates from the oxidative removal of a C3 side chain from the C15 sesquiterpene, which arises from farnesyl diphosphate (FDP). The C12-framework is generated, generally, in all families of sesquiterpenes by oxidative cleavage of the C3 substituent, with the simultaneous introduction of a double bond. This article reviews the isolation, biosynthesis and biological activity of this special class of sesquiterpenes, the 11,12,13-tri-nor-sesquiterpenes.

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.

Synthesis and biological studies of "Polycerasoidol" and "trans-δ-Tocotrienolic acid" derivatives as PPARα and/or PPARγ agonists. Bioorg Med Chem 2022; 53:116532.

Abstract
2-Prenylated benzopyrans represent a class of natural and synthetic compounds showing a wide range of significant activities. Polycerasoidol is a natural prenylated benzopyran isolated from the stem bark of Polyalthia cerasoides (Annonaceae) that exhibits dual PPARα/γ agonism and an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting mononuclear leukocyte adhesion to the dysfunctional endothelium. Herein, we report the synthesis of three new series of prenylated benzopyrans containing one (series 1), two (series 2, "polycerasoidol" analogs) and three (series 3, "trans-δ-tocotrienolic acid" analogs) isoprenoid units in the hydrocarbon side chain at the 2-position of the chroman-6-ol (6-hydroxy-dihydrobenzopyran) scaffold. Isoprenoid moieties were introduced through a Grignard reaction sequence, followed by Johnson-Claisen rearrangement and subsequent Wittig olefination. hPPAR transactivation activity and the structure activity relationships (SAR) of eleven novel synthesized 2-prenylated benzopyrans were explored. PPAR transactivation activity demonstrated that the seven-carbon side chain analogs (series 1) displayed selectivity for hPPARα, while the nine-carbon side chain analogs (polycerasoidol analogs, series 2) did so for hPPARγ. The side chain elongation to 11 or 13 carbons (series 3) resulted in weak dual PPARα/γ activation. Therefore, 2-prenylated benzopyrans of seven- and nine-carbon side chain (polycerasoidol analogs) are good lead compounds for developing useful candidates to prevent cardiovascular diseases associated with metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Eleven novel cembranoid derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inflammation related activities on the basis of our isolated and previously reported anti-inflammatory marine cembranoids. In bioassay, compound 11 displayed the most promising inhibitory effects with IC50 value of 1.1 μM for the TNF-α inhibitory activity. The further mechanism study of 11 on the inflammatory signaling transduction of RAW264.7 cells was also performed. This research may give an insight for the discovery of marine cembranoid derived anti-inflammatory drug leads.

Chemical investigation of a Red Sea Spongia sp. led to the isolation of four new compounds, i.e., 17-dehydroxysponalactone (1), a carboxylic acid, spongiafuranic acid A (2), one hydroxamic acid, spongiafuranohydroxamic acid A (3), and a furanyl trinorsesterpenoid 16-epi-irciformonin G (4), along with three known metabolites (-)-sponalisolide B (5), 18-nor- 3,17-dihydroxy-spongia-3,13(16),14-trien-2-one (6), and cholesta-7-ene-3β,5α-diol-6-one (7). The biosynthetic pathway for the molecular skeleton of 1 and related compounds was postulated for the first time. Anti-inflammatory activity of these metabolites to inhibit superoxide anion generation and elastase release in N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl phenylalanine/cytochalasin B (fMLF/CB)-induced human neutrophil cells and cytotoxicity of these compounds toward three cancer cell lines and one human dermal fibroblast cell line were assayed. Compound 1 was found to significantly reduce the superoxide anion generation and elastase release at a concentration of 10 μM, and compound 5 was also found to display strong inhibitory activity against superoxide anion generation at the same concentration. Due to the noncytotoxic activity and the potent inhibitory effect toward the superoxide anion generation and elastase release, 1 and 5 can be considered to be promising anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
Five new diterpenes, including an unprecedented 5,5,6,6,5-pentacyclic diterpene, sponalactone (1), two new spongian diterpenes, 17- O-acetylepispongiatriol (2) and 17- O-acetylspongiatriol (3), and two new spongian diterpene artifacts, 15α,16α-dimethoxy-15,16-dihydroepispongiatriol (4) and 15α-ethoxyepispongiatriol-16(15 H)-one (5), were isolated from a South China Sea collection of the marine sponge Spongia officinalis, together with three known analogues (6-8). The structures of the new diterpenes were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations were established on the basis of ECD data. Compounds 1-5 and 7 exhibited moderate inhibition against LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages with IC50 values of 12-32 μM.

Abstract
A new 5α,8α-epidioxysterol, namely yalongsterol A (1), along with two known related steroids 5α,8α-epidioxy-24-methyl-cholesta-6,24(28)-dien-3β-ol (2) and (22E,24S)-5α,8α-epidioxy-24-methyl-cholesta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (3), were isolated from the South China Sea soft coral Sinularia sp. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparisons of the spectral data with those reported in the literature. In bioassay, compounds 1-3 showed moderate immunosuppressive activities against T and/or B lymphocyte cells with IC50 values ranging from 19.30 to 59.49 μM, and low cytotoxicity on murine splenocytes with CC50 values ranging from 40.88 to 62.29 μM.[Formula: see text].
