Piperazirum, isolated from Arum palaestinum Boiss, was originally assigned as r-3,c-5-diisobutyl-c-6-isopropylpiperazin-2-one. The reported structure was synthesised diastereoselectively using a key nitro-Mannich reaction to set up the C5/C6 relative stereochemistry. The structure was unambiguously assigned by single crystal X-ray diffraction but the spectroscopic data did not match those reported for the natural product. The structure of the natural product must therefore be revised.

Quinolin-8-ol (1) on reaction with 2,6-dichloroaniline and m-nitrobenzaldehyde afforded 7-(α-hydroxy- m-nitrobenzyl)quinolin-8-ol (2), which is an unusual Mannich reaction product. The structure of (2) was determined by spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Preliminary antimicrobial screening showed that (1) and (2) have activity against a large number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Tryptanthrin is one of the most important members of indoloquinoline alkaloids. We obtained this alkaloid fromIsatis. Two novelFeIIandCoIIcomplexes of tryptanthrin were first synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that these complexes display distorted four-coordinated tetrahedron geometry via two heterocyclic nitrogen and oxygen atoms from tryptanthrin ligand. Binding with G-quadruplex DNA properties revealed that both complexes were found to exhibit significant interaction with G-quadruplex DNA. This study may potentially serve as the basis of future rational design of metal-based drugs from natural products that target the G-quadruplex DNA.

The heartwood of Euxylophora paraensis Hub. (Rutaceae) has given N-methylflindersine (2),spectabiline (3), skimmianine (4) and two new alkaloids, identified from spectroscopic data as 4-hydroxy-2,2,6-trimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-one (5) and 4-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutoxy)-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one (6). Five new dimeric quinolinone alkaloids, C30H30N2O4, were isolated. The structure of one of these, paraensidimerin D, has now been shown by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods to be (11), viz. (6aα,7α,14aα)-6,6,9,16- tetramethyl-7-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)-6,6a,7,9,14a,16-hexahydro-8H,15H- quino[3'',4'':5',6'] pyrano [2',3':4,5] pyrano-[3,2-c]quinoline-8,15- dione.

In this research, a new depside of the lichen Everniopsis trulla has been isolated. The extraction was carried out to 400 g of dry sample and ground with ethanol for 3 repetitions, then, it was fractionated by applying column chromatography with the CHCl3-MeOH system and purified by recrystallization with MeOH-Acetone (1: 1); Finally, white crystals in the form of needles (solid C) with a melting point of 198 ° C were obtained, whose structure was elucidated based on spectroscopic data (UV-Visible, IR, NMR-H1, NMR-C13, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction). According to the Science Finder databases, it is a new depside, called trullarin, and it is observed that molecular packing is influenced by both intramolecular and intermolecular forces. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds of O - H -O type binds neighboring molecules forming dimers.

The crystal structure of the natural product zeylenone, C21H18O7, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure has three chiral centers at positions C1, C5 and C6 of the cyclohexanone ring, but the absolute configuration could not be determined reliably. The methyl benzoate and benzoyloxy substituents at positions C1 and C5 of the cyclohexenone ring are on the same side of the ring with the dihedral angle between their mean planes being 16.25 (10)°. These rings are almost perpendicular to the cyclohexenone ring. The benzoate groups and two hydroxyl groups on the cyclohexenone ring form strong hydrogen bonds to consolidate the crystal structure. In addition, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds also contribute to the packing of the structure.

Four new metabolites, asperchalasine I (1), dibefurin B (2) and two epicoccine derivatives (3 and 4), together with seven known compounds (5–11) were isolated from a mangrove fungus Mycosphaerella sp. SYSU-DZG01. The structures of compounds 1–4 were established from extensive spectroscopic data and HRESIMS analysis. The absolute configuration of 1 was deduced by comparison of ECD data with that of a known structure. The stereostructures of 2–4 were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1, 8 and 9 exhibited significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 17.1, 26.7 and 15.7 μM, respectively. Compounds 1, 4, 6 and 8 showed antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH· with EC50 values ranging from 16.3 to 85.8 μM.

Chemical investigation of a crinoid Himerometra magnipinna has afforded three anthraquinones (1–3), including one new metabolite, (+)-rhodoptilometrin (1). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and the absolute configuration of 1 was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the in vitro anti-inflammatory effects test, compound 2 was found to significantly inhibit the accumulation of the pro-inflammatory iNOS protein of the LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells.

The thermal treatment of [Ru2(CO)6(μ-η1,η2-C4H3O){μ-P(C4H3O)2}] 1 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) at 110 °C leads to cyclotrimerization of DMAD. The cyclotrimerization product hexamethyl benzenehexacarboxylate, [C6(COOCH3)6] 2, was obtained in 37% yield and characterized by a combination of spectroscopic data and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P1bar with a = 10.3002(12), b = 11.0371(13), c = 18.781(2) Å, α = 76.148(2), β = 87.390(2), γ = 74.001(2)°, Z = 4 and V = 1992.2(4) Å3.
