Abstract
Covering: 2010 to 2021Sesquiterpene quinone/quinols (SQs) are characterized by a C15-sesquiterpenoid unit incorporating a C6-benzoquinone/quinol moiety. Numerous unprecedented carbon skeletons have been constructed with various connection patterns between the two parts. The potent anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral, and fibrinolytic activities of SQs are associated with their diverse structures. The representative avarol has even entered the stage of clinical phase II research as an anti-HIV agent, and was developed as paramedic medicine against psoriasis. This review provides an overall summary of 558 new natural SQs discovered between 2010 and 2021, including seven groups and sixteen structure-type subgroups, which comprehensively recapitulates their chemical structures, spectral characteristics, source organisms, biological activities, synthesis, and biosynthesis, aiming to expand the application scope of this unique natural product resource.

The Tetrahydrofuran Motif in Marine Lipids and Terpenes. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20100642.

Abstract
Heterocycles are particularly common moieties within marine natural products. Specifically, tetrahydrofuranyl rings are present in a variety of compounds which present complex structures and interesting biological activities. Focusing on terpenoids, a high number of tetrahydrofuran-containing metabolites have been isolated during the last decades. They show promising biological activities, making them potential leads for novel antibiotics, antikinetoplastid drugs, amoebicidal substances, or anticancer drugs. Thus, they have attracted the attention of the synthetics community and numerous approaches to their total syntheses have appeared. Here, we offer the reader an overview of marine-derived terpenoids and related compounds, their isolation, structure determination, and a special focus on their total syntheses and biological profiles.

Abstract
Mono- and di-substituted tricycloalternarenes form a group of meroterpenes isolated from epiphytic fungi. In this work, we have made thirteen proposals to correct erroneous structures of disubstituted tricycloalternarenes, also known as guignardones. Thus, in this group of compounds, structures of guignardones K, L3, M, W, tricycloalternarene B2, 15-hydroxy-tricycloalternarene 5 b, guignardiaene D, magnardones F-H and coibanols A-C, have been revised. Moreover, we have also explained why there are only two types of disubstituted tricycloalternarenes in nature, one with a -CH2-O- β-bridge between C-6 and C-4 (6R,4S-configuration), and the other with a -CH2-O- α-bridge between C-4 and C-6 (4R,6S-configuration). Finally, the relative and absolute configurations of phyllostictone A and the absolute structure of phyllostictone D have been established by comparison with those of magnardones I and D, respectively.

Abstract
Cycloalternarenes are a group of meroterpenes isolated from epiphytic fungi with a mono-, bi, tri- or tetracyclic skeleton. We have detected in the bibliography a series of monosubstituted tricycloalternarenes with erroneous structures. Thus, in this work we make several proposals to correct the structures of nineteen 4-hydroxy-tricycloalternarenes, TCA 6a, TCA 11a2, (2E)- and (2Z)-TCA 12a, 2H-(2E)-TCA 12a, TCAs 9a and F2, methyl nor-tricycloalternarate, TCAs K, L, S-W, X2 and tricycloalterfurenes A-C, and four 6-hydroxy-tricycloalternarenes, TCA 12b, TCA 13b, tricycloalterfurene D and TCA F3. Moreover, the graphic representation of TCA 14b and TCAs 15b-18b had been corrected. In addition, we have suggested that mono-hydroxylated tricycloalternarenes can only exist in nature substituted at the 4α- or 6β-position (4R- or 6R-configuration), which could also be explained considering biogenetic reasons. We have also determined the C-4 and C-6 configuration of several monosubstituted tricycloalternarenes, whose planar structure had been previously determined. Thus, compounds of the "series a" such as TCAs 1a-8a, 11a and ACTG-toxin H have a 4R-configuration, whilst in the "series b" TCAs 3b-7b and TCAs 9b-11b possess a 6R-configuration.

Abstract
Fungal meroterpenoids are secondary metabolites from mixed terpene-biosynthetic origins. Their intriguing chemical structural diversification and complexity, potential bioactivities, and pharmacological significance make them attractive targets in natural product chemistry, organic synthesis, and biosynthesis. This review provides a systematic overview of the isolation, chemical structural features, biological activities, and fungal biodiversity of 1585 novel meroterpenoids from 79 genera terrestrial and marine-derived fungi including macrofungi, Basidiomycetes, in 441 research papers in 2009-2019. Based on the nonterpenoid starting moiety in their biosynthesis pathway, meroterpenoids were classified into four categories (polyketide-terpenoid, indole-, shikimate-, and miscellaneous-) with polyketide-terpenoids (mainly tetraketide-) and shikimate-terpenoids as the primary source. Basidiomycota produced 37.5% of meroterpenoids, mostly shikimate-terpenoids. The genera of Ganoderma, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Stachybotrys are the four dominant producers. Moreover, about 56% of meroterpenoids display various pronounced bioactivities, including cytotoxicity, enzyme inhibition, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal activities. It's exciting that several meroterpenoids including antroquinonol and 4-acetyl antroquinonol B were developed into phase II clinically used drugs. We assume that the chemical diversity and therapeutic potential of these fungal meroterpenoids will provide biologists and medicinal chemists with a large promising sustainable treasure-trove for drug discovery.

Abstract
Two new meroterpenoids, tricycloalternarenes X and Y, together with one known meroterpenoid, tricycloalternarene I, were isolated from the fungus Alternaria sp. JJY-32. The structures including absolute configurations were established by the comprehensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectral analyses, and biosynthesis consideration. Tricycloalternarene X showed cytotoxicity against the HL-60 and HO8910 cells with IC50 values of 7.54 and 20.32 μm.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the crude extract of fermentation broth of one symbiotic strain Aspergillus sp. D from the coastal plant Edgeworthia chrysantha Lindl. led to isolation of one new meroterpenoid, tricycloalternarene 14b (1), together with four known analogs (2-5), tricycloalternarenes 2b (2), 3a (3), 3b (4), and ACTG-toxin F (5). Their chemical structures were unambiguously established on the basis of NMR, mass spectrometry, and optical rotation data analysis, as well as by comparison with literature data. Biological assays indicated that compound 2 exhibited potent in vitro cytotoxicity against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line with an IC50 value of 2.91 μM, and compound 5 had a moderate inhibitory effect on Candida albicans, with an MIC value of 15.63 μM. The results indicated that this symbiotic strain D is an important producer of tricycloalternarene derivatives, with potential therapeutic application in treatment of cancer and pathogen infection.

Abstract
A new sesterterpene, sesteralterin (1), four new meroterpenes, tricycloalterfurenes A-D (2-5), and a known meroterpene, TCA-F (6), were obtained from the culture extract of an Alternaria alternata strain (k21-1) isolated from the surface of the marine red alga Lomentaria hakodatensis. The structures and relative/absolute configurations of these compounds were identified by spectroscopic analyses, mainly including 1D/2D NMR, ECD, and mass spectra and quantum chemical calculations. Compound 1 represents the first nitidasane sesterterpene naturally produced by fungi, and 2-5 feature a tetrahydrofuran unit rarely occurring in tricycloalternarenes. Compounds 1-6 were assayed for inhibition of the growth of four marine plankton and one marine alga-pathogenic bacterium.
