Article Abstract
Natural disesquiterpenoids represent a small group of secondary metabolites characterized by complex molecular scaffolds and interesting pharmacological profiles. In the last decade, more than 400 new disesquiterpenoids have been discovered and fully characterized, pointing out once more the "" of nature in the design of new compounds. The perfect blend of complex and unique architectures and biological activity has made sesquiterpene dimers an attractive and challenging synthetic target, inspiring organic chemists to find new and biomimetic approaches to replicate the efficiency and the selectivity of natural processes under laboratory conditions. In this work, we present a review covering the literature from 2010 to 2020 reporting all the efforts made in the total synthesis of complex natural disesquiterpenoids.

Inspired by our previous finding that disesquiterpenoids showed more potent antihepatoma cytotoxicity than their corresponding parent monomers, natural product-like guaianolide-germacranolide heterodimers were designed and synthesized from guaianolide diene and germacranolides via a biomimetic Diels-Alder reaction to provide three antihepatoma active dimers with novel scaffolds. To explore the structure-activity relationship, 31 derivatives containing ester, carbamate, ether, urea, amide, and triazole functional groups at C-14' were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG2, Huh7, and SK-Hep-1 cell lines. Among them, 25 compounds were more potent than sorafenib against HepG2 cells, 15 compounds were stronger than sorafenib against Huh7 cells, and 17 compounds were stronger than sorafenib against SK-Hep-1 cells.

Article Synopsis
- A highly virulent strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) was first discovered in California’s cotton fields in 2002, affecting cotton production.
- The cotton varieties 'Seabrook Sea Island 12B2' and 'Pima S-6' show resistance to this Fov race 4, with 'SBSI' demonstrating a quicker defense response through the production of antimicrobial compounds.
- Research indicates that separate resistance genes are present in these two cultivars, as evidenced by the varying susceptibility in their offspring from hybrid crosses.

Two new disesquiterpenoids (1 and 2) and 11 new (3-13) and 10 known (14-23) sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the whole plants of Artemisia freyniana. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with published NMR data. The absolute configurations of the new isolates (1-13) were assigned based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data.
