Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria and fungi are threatening human health all over the world. It is an increasingly serious problem that the efficacies of some antibacterial and antifungal agents have been weakened by the drug resistance of some bacteria and fungi, which makes a great need for new antibiotics. Sesquiterpenoids, with abundant structural skeleton types and a wide range of bioactivities, are considered as good candidates to be antibacterial and antifungal agents. In the past decades, many sesquiterpenoids were isolated from plants and fungi that exhibited good antibacterial and antifungal activities. In this review, the names, source, structures, antibacterial and antifungal degrees, and mechanisms of sesquiterpenoids with antibacterial and antifungal activity from 2012 to 2022 are summarized, and the structure-activity relationship of these sesquiterpenoids against bacteria and fungi is also discussed.

Abstract
The genus Tanacetum includes some popular endemic species of the flora of Iran, with important medicinal properties. In a project, directed at structurally interesting bioactive metabolites from Iranian endemic species, we studied Tanacetum sonbolii Mozaff. Eight compounds comprising six phenolic and two terpenoidal compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of the plant by normal and reverse phase chromatography. Their structures were established mainly by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques, including 1H-1H COSY, HSQC and HMBC methods and confirmed by comparing their NMR data with those reported in the literature. The compounds namely: 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxyacetophenone (1), apigenin (2), 5-desmethylsinensetin (3), 5-desmethylnobiletin (4), 8-methoxycirsilineol (5), scopoletin (6), ursolic acid (7), and β-sitosterol (8). In-vitro antiprotozoal activity of compounds 1, 3, and 5 were evaluated against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani and Plasmodium falciparum parasites and also toxicity against rat myoblast (L6) cells. Compound 5 showed promising activity against T. b. rhodesiense.

Abstract
Two new sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, namely melitensin 15-O-β-D-glucoside (1) and 11β,13-dihydrosalonitenolide 15-O-β-D-glucoside (2), along with eight known compounds (3-10) were isolated from the aerial part of Cnicus benedictus L. Their structures were elucidated from analyses of extensive spectroscopic data. Compounds 1-6 all possessed an α-methyl-γ-lactone moiety. Moreover, compound 5 exhibited moderate activity against the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus, with IC50 values of 17.67 μg mL-1.
