Abstract
Covering: 2013 to 2023In an era where antimicrobial resistance severely threatens our ability to treat infections, the discovery of new drugs that belong to different chemical classes and/or bear original modes of action is urgently needed. In this case, diterpenoids comprise a productive field with a proven track record in providing new anti-infectives to tackle bacterial infections and malaria. This review highlights the potential of both naturally occurring and semi-synthetic bi- and tricyclic diterpenoids to become leads in search of new drugs to treat infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites. The literature from the last decade (2013-2023) is covered, focusing on naturally occurring and semi-synthetic bicyclic (labdanes and labdane-type) and tricyclic (all classes) diterpenoids, detailing their relevant biological activities in the context of infection, which are explained through structure-activity relationships.

The amide derivative of anticopalic acid induces non-apoptotic cell death in triple-negative breast cancer cells by inhibiting FAK activation. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13456.

Abstract
Anticopalic acid (ACP), a labdane type diterpenoid obtained from Kaempferia elegans rhizomes, together with 21 semi-synthetic derivatives, were evaluated for their cancer cytotoxic activity. Most derivatives displayed higher cytotoxic activity than the parent compound ACP in a panel of nine cancer cell lines. Among the tested compounds, the amide 4p showed the highest cytotoxic activity toward leukemia cell lines, HL-60 and MOLT-3, with IC50 values of 6.81 ± 1.99 and 3.72 ± 0.26 µM, respectively. More interestingly, the amide derivative 4l exhibited cytotoxic activity with an IC50 of 13.73 ± 0.04 µM against the MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cell line, which is the most aggressive type of breast cancer. Mechanistic studies revealed that 4l induced cell death in MDA-MB-231 cells through non-apoptotic regulated cell death. In addition, western blot analysis showed that compound 4l decreased the phosphorylation of FAK protein in a concentration-dependent manner. Molecular docking simulations elucidated that compound 4l could potentially inhibit FAK activation by binding to a pocket of FAK kinase domain. The data suggested that compound 4l could be a potential FAK inhibitor for treating triple-negative breast cancer and worth being further investigated.

Abstract
Plants of Hyptidinae subtribe (Lamiaceae - family), as Mesosphaerum sidifolium, are a source of bioactive molecules. In the search for new drug candidates, we perform chemical characterization of diterpenes isolated from the aerial parts of M. sidifolium was carried out with uni- and bidimensional NMR spectral data, and evaluate in silico through the construction of a predictive model followed by in vitro testing Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Resulted in the isolation of four components: Pomiferin D (1), Salviol (2), Pomiferin E (3) and 2α-hydroxysugiol (4), as well as two phenolic compounds, rosmarinic and caffeic acids. In silico model identified 48 diterpenes likely to have biological activity against M. tuberculosis. The diterpenes isolated were tested in vitro against M. tuberculosis demonstrating MIC = 125 µM for 4 and 1, while 2 and 3 -MIC = 250 µM. These compounds did not show biological activity at these concentrations for M. smegmatis.

Abstract
As part of the search for anti-trypanosomal agents, this work presents the production of sixteen derivatives. All of them were obtained from two natural diterpenes, one with kaurane skeleton (ent-kaurenoic acid) and other with a pimarane skeleton (ent-pimaradienoic acid). Then, the eighteen compounds were assayed against epimastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi, with the derivatives showing increase of activity in relation to their precursors. Moreover, the most active derivative presented an IC50 <12.5 µM (estimated 0.8 µM), lower than Benznidazole (IC50 = 9.8 µM), used as control. The esterification of acid diterpenes showed to be an interesting way in the search for anti-trypanosomal agents.

Abstract
Polycyclic diterpenes exhibit many important biological activities, but de novo synthetic access to these molecules is highly challenging because of their structural complexity. Semisynthetic access has also been limited by the lack of chemical tools for scaffold modifications. We report a chemoenzymatic platform to access highly oxidized diterpenes by a hybrid oxidative approach that strategically combines chemical and enzymatic oxidation methods. This approach allows for selective oxidations of previously inaccessible sites on the parent carbocycles and enables abiotic skeletal rearrangements to additional underlying architectures. We synthesized a total of nine complex natural products with rich oxygenation patterns and skeletal diversity in 10 steps or less from ent-steviol.

Abstract
:
Semi-synthesis, the way of preparing novel bioactive molecules via modification
of compounds isolated from natural sources is very much useful nowadays in the drug discovery
process. The modification is based on the reaction of functional group(s) present in a
natural compound. Among the examples of functional group transformation, double bond
modification is also common in the literature. Several reactions like hydrogenation, cyclopropanation,
epoxidation, addition reaction (halogenations, hydroxylation), Michael addition,
Heck reaction, cycloaddition, dipolar cycloaddition, etc. are employed for this purpose.
In this review, we have tried to gather the reactions performed with several double bond
containing classes of natural products like diterpenes, xanthones, sesquiterpene exomethylene lactones, diaryl
heptanoids, steroidal lactones, triterpenoids, limonoids, and alkamides. Where available, the effects of transformations
on the biological activities of the molecules are also mentioned.

Abstract
The search for new antibacterial agents and a better comprehension of substances with antimicrobial behavior is mandatory nowadays due to the serious public health problem of infection diseases. In the present work, 30 diterpenes were studied, with 2 natural derivatives, named ent-16-kauren-19-oic acid and ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid, and 28 semi-synthetic derivatives. The natural diterpenes were isolated from Mikania glomerata and Viguiera arenaria, respectively. All diterpenes were submitted to antimicrobial assays against six different Gram-positive microorganisms to better understand the structure–activity relationship of antimicrobial diterpenes. The semi-synthetic derivatives were all obtained from the two natural derivatives by structural modifications, mainly esterification reactions. Both natural derivatives, together with the derivative ent-8(14)-pimaren-19-oic acid, displayed the most relevant antibacterial activities, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values that were less than 10 μg mL–1 for most pathogens; thus, they were considered promising antimicrobial agents. Moreover, in light of the hypothesis of Urzúa and colleagues, several considerations about the structure–activity relationship of antimicrobial diterpenes could be stated.

Abstract
Kaurenoic acid derivatives were prepared and submitted to in vitro assays with the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, which causes anthracnose disease in the common bean. The most active substances were found to be methyl and p-bromobenzylesters, 7 and 9, respectively, of the hydrogenated kaurenoic acid, which presented a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.097 and 0.131 mM, respectively, while the commercial fungicide methyl thiophanate (MT) presented a MIC of 0.143 mM. Substances 7 (1.401 mM) and 9 (1.886 mM) reduced the severity of anthracnose in common bean to values statistically comparable to MT (2.044 mM). According to an in silico study, both compounds 7 and 9 are inhibitors of the ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) enzyme produced by other organisms, the amino acid sequence of which could be detected in fungal genomes. These substances appeared to act against C. lindemuthianum by inhibiting its KSI. Therefore, substances 7 and 9 are promising for the development of new fungicides.

Abstract
Nowadays, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are reported to be present everywhere. Poor and developing areas in the world have received great attention to NTDs. Drug resistance, safety profile, and various challenges stimulate the search for alternative medications. Plant-based drugs are viewed with great interest, as they are believed to be devoid of side effects. Diterpenes, a family of essential oils, have showed attractive biological effects. A systematic review of the literature was carried out to summarize available evidences of diterpenes against NTDs. For this, databases were searched using specific search terms. Among the 2338 collected reports, a total of 181 articles were included in this review. Of them, 148 dealt with investigations using single organisms, and 33 used multiple organisms. No mechanisms of action were reported in the case of 164 reports. A total of 93.92% were related to nonclinical studies, and 4.42% and 1.66% dealt with preclinical and clinical studies, respectively. The review displays that many diterpenes are effective upon Chagas disease, chikungunya, echinococcosis, dengue, leishmaniasis, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, and tuberculosis. Indeed, diterpenes are amazing drug candidates against NTDs. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
