Bio-guided isolation was applied to Vietnamese L. to find alpha-glucosidase inhibition. Fifteen compounds were isolated and structurally determined, including two new compounds, marchatoside (7) and marchanol (8), along with thirteen known compounds: marchantin A (1), isoriccardin C (2), riccardin C (3), marchantin K (4), lunularin (5), 3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-5,7-dimethoxyphthalide (6), vitexilactone (9), 12-oleanene-3-one (10), 3,11-dioxoursolic acid (11), ursolic acid (12), artemetin (13), kaempferol (14), and quercetin (15). The structures of these compounds were determined through extensive spectroscopic analyses (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD) and by comparisons to the existing literature. There are five types of carbon skeleton, including bibenzyl (1-5), 3-benzylphthalide (6 and 7), diterpenoid (8 and 9), triterpenoid (10-12), and flavonoid (13-15). Compounds 6-12 were reported for the first time within the genus . Compounds 1-12 were evaluated for their alpha-glucosidase inhibition. Among them, 1-5 and 10-12 displayed potent inhibition, with IC values ranging from 28.9 to 130.6 μM, compared to the positive control acarbose 330.9 μM. A kinetic study and molecular docking were also performed to understand the mechanism.

Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development. Compounds were dereplicated from ethanolic extract (IC = 9 µg/mL) using LC-HRMS, revealing active constituents: procyanidin A1 (2), biochanin (5) and formononetin (7).

Erythrodontium julaceum, Marchantia polymorpha, and Plagiochila bantamensis are widely distributed bryophytes in Vietnam. However, comprehensive chemical and biological data on their composition remain limited. Bio-guided isolation based on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) M inhibition was applied to these species, resulting in the identification of 23 metabolites.

Bio-guided isolation from the Red Sea-derived yielded two new metabolites, 15-deoxy-15-amino-citreohybridonol () and chrysogenotoxin (), alongside five known compounds: emodin (), chrysophanol (), (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (), haenamindole (), and citreorosein (). Compound exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive (MIC: 0.31-0.

Ethnobotanical Relevance: Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, with rising resistance to artemisinin-based therapies highlighting the urgent need for new, effective, and safer treatments from medicinal plants which have been used by the indigenous people.
Aim Of The Study: This study investigates the antiplasmodial potential of natural products from Mitragyna inermis.
Methods: Crude extracts from the stem bark and twigs of Mitragyna inermis were prepared using various solvents (water, ethanol/water, ethanol, and methanol) and tested for activity against Plasmodium falciparum strains Dd2 and 3D7 using the SYBR Green I-based fluorescence assay.

Countercurrent chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (CCC-MS) has become a powerful tool for analysing complex natural product mixtures. This method provides high resolution, minimal sample loss, and versatility for both preparative and analytical applications. CCC, a liquid-liquid chromatography technique, excels in managing the inherent complexity of metabolomes, while MS offers sensitive detection and structural elucidation.
