Article Abstract
A new clerodane diterpenoid, crotolanin A (), along with three known clerodane diterpenoids, crotoeurin B (), teucvidin () and teucvin (), was isolated from the ethanol extract of the leaves and twigs of Benth. Their structures were identified by extensive NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS analyses. The dopaminergic neuroprotective activity of compounds - was tested by using transgenic pathological model. Compound alleviated dopaminergic neuron degeneration of worms induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) that represented a potential therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD).

Background And Aims: Trait-based approaches have advanced our understanding of plant strategies, yet they often focus on leaf-level traits, overlooking the functional roles of stem anatomy and twig characteristics. We investigated intraspecific trait variation in Salix flabellaris, an alpine dwarf shrub, along climatic gradients in the Himalayas. Our goal was to identify distinct axes of trait variation related to stem, twig, and leaf traits, assess their environmental drivers, and evaluate population-specific growth responses to recent climate change.

Chemical investigation of the twigs and leaves of Euphorbia tirucalli afforded six undescribed tigliane glycosides, tirucalosides A-F (1-6), together with 12 known diterpenoids (7-18). Compound 1 represents a rare carbon skeleton bearing a 5/7/5/4-fused ring system, while compound 6 contains an unusual seco-glucoside substitution. Their structures were determined by a combination of an extensive spectroscopic analysis and acid hydrolysis experiment.

The neem tree (), native to the Indian subcontinent, has recently gained global recognition because of its extensive therapeutic qualities. It contains a high concentration of antioxidants and other valuable active substances including azadirachtin, salannin, nimbidin, nimbolinin, nimbidol, nimbin, and quercetin, which are extracted from various plant parts. It has been widely utilized in Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathic treatments and has gained significant attention in modern medicine.

Phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract from Artemisia anomala twigs and leaves led to the isolation and structural elucidation of four previously unreported compounds, including a phytyl melilotic acid ester designated as artemanoin A (1), and three chromomoric acid derivatives named anomalones E - G (2-4). Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were unambiguously established through extensive spectroscopic characterization (HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR) coupled with chemical derivatization study and quantum chemical calculations (including ECD, optical rotation and NMR computations). Notably, artemanoin A (1) represents an acyclic diterpenoid featuring an unusual ester linkage with melilotic acid, a structural motif rarely encountered in natural products.
