The stereochemistry in the dihydroanthracenone ring of dermocanarin 4 (1) is defined as (S) by incorporation of the gentiobioside (2) of (S)-[6-OMe- 13 C]torosachrysone into the dihydroanthracenone ring of dermocanarin 4 by fruiting bodies of Cortinarius sinapicolor. In addition, the new dermocanarins 5 (3), 6 (4), 8 (5) and 9 (6) are isolated from two other indigenous toadstools belonging to Cortinarius and their structure and stereochemistry are deduced from the respective spectroscopic data and by comparison with dermocanarin 4 (1).

A new pigment, phlegmacin A 8,8’-di-O-methyl ether (1), was isolated from fruiting bodies of Xylaria euglossa (Ascomycota) along with the known fungal pigments (S)-torosachrysone-8-O-methyl ether (2) and emodin-6,8-di-O-methyl ether (3). The structure of compound 1 was established on the basis of its spectroscopic data and the absolute configuration determined as P and 3’S by comparing the CD and 1H NMR spectra of 1 with those of the phlegmacins 4 and 5. Compound 1 represents the first phlegmacin type pigment isolated from the ascomycete

Three new polyketides, ketidocillinones A–C (1–3), were discovered from the extract of an Antarctica sponge-derived fungus Penicillium sp. HDN151272. All the structures were deduced by spectroscopic data, including NMR and HRESIMS. The absolute configuration of compound 3 was established by using ECD calculation. Compounds 1−3 can be slowly oxidized to quinone form when exposed to air. Ketidocillinones B and C (2 and 3) exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeurigenosa, Mycobacterium phlei, and MRCNS (methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci) with MIC values ranging from 1.56 to 25.00 µg/mL.

A new pyrrole alkaloid, strychnuxinal (1), along with ten known compounds (2–11) were isolated from the fruits of Strychnos nux-blanda. The structures of all the isolated compounds (1–11) were fully elucidated using spectroscopic data, as well as comparisons with the previous literature data. In addition, the absolute configuration of 1 at C-8 was determined by means of the ECD calculation. Moreover, all isolated compounds were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity.

Flavomannin 6,6′,8-tri-O-methyl ether occurs in the fruiting bodies of the Australian toadstool Dermocybe sp. WAT 24274 as an anisochiral mixture of the (3S,3′S,P)- and (3R,3′R,M)-enantiomers (5) and (7), respectively, in which the former predominates to the extent of 50% e.e. The structure of the natural product is determined by spectroscopic methods and the absolute configuration and enantiomeric purity are deduced from the c.d. spectrum and by chemical degradation of the natural product to a mixture of stereoisomeric dihydroanthracenones that has been analysed by chiral h.p.l.c.

The bioassay-guided fractionation of the moderately cytotoxic extract from Croton glabellus resulted in the isolation of bioactive compounds, which were characterized as austroinulin (2), 6-O-acetylaustroinulin (3), the acetonide artifact of 2 (4), and 3-O-methylkaempferol (9). In addition, a new natural cis-ent-clerodane lactone diterpene named marrubiagenin (1), trans-dehydrocrotonin (6), the epimeric mixture of cajucarinolide (7/8), and 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavonoid (10) were also characterized and identified as nonbioactive compounds. The structures of all compounds were determined by analyses of their physical and spectroscopic data and by comparison with those reported in the literature. The absolute configuration assignment of 3 was carried out by means of the modified Mosher method and by the experimental and theoretical circular dichroism method establishing that 3 belongs to the ent-labdane diterpene series. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of 1 was established by analysis of its chiroptical properties concluding that 1 belongs to the cis-ent-clerodane diterpene series.Key words: Croton glabellus, ent-labdane-type diterpenes, cis-ent-clerodane-type diterpenes, circular dichroism, TD-DFT.

Two new natural products, mitrafungidione (1) elucidated as prototrop-isomers of ( R-3-acetyl-5-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5 H-furan-2-one, and maristachone F (2a), elucidated as 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxy-2-methylphenol, together with 5 known compounds have been isolated from the solid cultures of an endophytic fungus associated with Mitragyna inermis (Rubiaceae) and identified as Cercophora samala. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. The absolute configuration of 1 and 2a were determined by extensive DFT calculations.

A new coumarin with a ferulic acid moiety (1), together with three known coumarins, viz. isoscopletin-6-O- β-D-glucopyranoside (2), elebutheroside B1 (3), tert-O- β-D-glucopyranosyl-(R)-heraclenol (4), were isolated from the roots of Heracleum dissectum. Their structures were clarified by extensive spectroscopic data analysis including 1D and 2D NMR and HRESI MS and comparison with previous literatures (known compounds). Moreover, the absolute configuration of the new compound was also determined.
