Abstract
Ten undescribed cardiac glycosides, strasperosides A-J, together with twelve known analogues, were isolated from Streblus asper Lour. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, electronic circular dichroism data, and chemical methods. These cardiac glycosides showed diversity in steroid skeleton and sugar moiety. Strasperosides A and B are a pair of unusual stereoisomers featuring different orientation of the lactone motif. Ten cardiac glycosides demonstrated potent antiviral effects on HSV-1 in vitro with the IC50 values from 0.19 ± 0.08 to 1.03 ± 0.25 μM and the therapeutic indices from 66.61 ± 5.08 to 326.75 ± 11.75.

Rhodomeroterpene alleviates macrophage infiltration and the inflammatory response in renal tissue to improve acute kidney injury. FASEB J 2021; 35:e21985.

Abstract
Inflammation is broadly recognized as an important factor in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), but pharmacological approaches to alleviate inflammation in AKI have not been proved successful in clinical trials. Macrophage infiltration into renal tissue promotes inflammatory responses that contribute to the pathogenesis of AKI. Suppression of renal tissue inflammatory responses is postulated to improve renal injury of patients and animals. Rhodomeroterpene (RMT) is a novel meroterpenoid isolated from the Rhododendron genus that was shown to exert anti-inflammatory action in vivo or in vitro in this study. We investigated the treatment effects of RMT on LPS-induced sepsis and two different AKI models. The results showed that pretreatment with RMT (30 mg kg-1 d-1 , ip, for 3 days) significantly inhibited acute inflammatory responses in LPS-induced septic mice. In both renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) and sepsis-induced AKI models, RMT (30 mg kg-1 d-1 , ip, for 3 days) ameliorated renal function and injury and alleviated inflammation by reducing the infiltration of immune cells, including macrophages and neutrophils. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that RMT inhibits inflammatory responses in macrophages. The anti-inflammatory effects of RMT may be due to the inactivation of the IKK/NF-κB and PI3K/PDK1/Akt inflammatory signaling pathways in macrophages. Collectively, our findings indicate that RMT ameliorates renal injury and alleviates the renal inflammatory state in different AKI models, suggesting that RMT may be a potential agent for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
PPARγ agonists are widely used medications in diabetes mellitus therapy. Their role in improving adipose tissue function contributes to antidiabetic effects. The extracts of Dodonaea viscosa have been reported to exert antidiabetic activity. However, the effective mediators and the underlying mechanisms were largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the action on PPARγ transactivation and adipocyte modulation of two typical flavonoid constituents from D. viscosa, 5,4'-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone and aliarin. Our results showed that 5,4'-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone and aliarin were potential partial PPARγ agonists. The compounds induced adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells, with an upregulated adiponectin mRNA level and enhanced insulin sensitivity. The favorable effects of 5,4'-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavanone, aliarin, and other flavonoid constituents on adipocytes might contribute to the antidiabetic efficacy of D. viscosa.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is not only a lipid storage site, but also a well-known endocrine organ. Dysfunction of adipose tissue is associated with irregular lipid metabolism, ectopic lipid accumulation and insulin resistance. It is proposed that modulating on adipose tissue is a reasonable way to ameliorate glucose and lipid metabolism. (±)-sanggenol F (SGF, purity >98.5%) was synthesized as a racemic mixture of natural (+)-sanggenol F. In this study, SGF was found to promote adipocyte differentiation, enhance insulin sensitivity, and upregulate beneficial adipokines expression in 3T3-L1 cells. Furthermore, in vivo study showed that treatment with SGF for 4 weeks improved glucose metabolism, by decreasing fasting blood glucose and enhancing insulin sensitivity. It also improved lipid metabolism, with reduced serum lipid level and ameliorated hepatic steatosis in db/db mice. During the process of target finding, we found that SGF had multiple activities of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α agonism. These results showed the potential of SGF as a candidate for the therapy of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Chemical investigation on the aerial parts of Rhododendron capitatum resulted in the discovery of five enantiomeric pairs of new meroterpenoids, (+)-/(-)-rhodonoids C (1a and 1b), E (3a and 3b), F (4a and 4b), and (-)-/(+)-rhodonoids D (2a and 2b) and G (5a and 5b). These enantiomeric pairs existed as partial racemates in a plant and were obtained by chiral HPLC separation. Their structures with absolute configurations were assigned by spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and ECD analysis. Compounds 1a and 1b are the first pair of meromonoterpenes incorporating an unprecedented 6/6/6/5 ring system, and 1a showed antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro. Compounds 2a and 2b are the first examples of meromonoterpenes featuring a unique 6/6/5/5 ring system.

Abstract
(2'R)-2',3'-Dihydro-2'-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2,6'-bibenzofuran-6,4'-diol (DHMB) is a natural compound extracted from Morus notabilis. It was found that DHMB acts as a competitive inhibitor against mushroom tyrosinase with a Ki value of 14.77 μM. Docking results further indicated that it could form strong interactions with one copper ion with a distance of 2.7 Å, suggesting the mechanism of inhibition might be due to chelating copper ions in the active site. Furthermore, melanin production in B16-F10 murine melanoma cells was significantly inhibited by DHMB in a concentration-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. The results of western blotting also showed that DHMB decreased 3-isobuty-1-methxlzanthine-induced mature tyrosinase expression. Taken together, these findings indicated that DHMB may be a new promising pigmentation-altering agent for agriculture, cosmetic, and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Adipose tissue plays a key role in the development of obesity and diabetes. Natural products are one of the main sources for discovering new lead compounds. In the present study, (2S)-7,4'-dihydroxy-8-prenylflavan (DHPF), a natural prenylated flavan isolated from Morus yunnanensis, was found to significantly promote adipogenesis and increase glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells. Real-time PCR results showed that DHPF increased the expression of glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes (C/EBPα, PPARγ, aP2, GLUT4 and adiponectin) and decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α. Western blotting further revealed that DHPF activated p38 MAPK at the initial stage of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. DHPF-induced activation of p38, adipogenesis and glucose uptake were effectively blocked by SB203580, a specific p38 inhibitor. These results indicate that DHPF could stimulate adipogenesis and increase glucose uptake through the p38 MAPK pathway, and DHPF may be useful for the prevention and treatment of obesity-associated disorders such as type 2 diabetes (T2D).
