Five new characteristic cembrane-type diterpenoids (olibacartiols A-E, 1-5) were acquired from the gum resin of Boswellia carterii. The structures of these diterpenoids were characterized by detailed spectroscopic analysis, and compounds 1-3 were unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The anti-inflammatory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated using LPS-induced BV2 cell model and compounds 2-5 showed moderate NO inhibitory effects with IC values of 8.84 ± 1.02, 9.82 ± 1.95, 9.75 ± 2.24, and 7.39 ± 1.24 μM, respectively.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Olibanum, a precious traditional Chinese medicine, has been utilized in China for millennia. It has historically been used to treat various pain disorders caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, such as rheumatic arthralgia, chronic abdominal pain, gastric pain, and angina pectoris, as well as intestinal abscess, deafness, and insomnia.
Aim Of The Study: Dedicated to evaluating the current research status of Olibanum, encompassing traditional medicinal uses, chemical composition, pharmacological effects, clinical trials, and safety assessments, to comprehensively understand its development progress and provide guidance for future research directions.

As an important agricultural product, cigar tobacco lacks reports on chemical compositions. The investigation on characteristic components of Yunnan local cigar tobacco revealed 15 Cembrane-type diterpenes including nine undescribed ones (-). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, computational calculations, and X-ray diffraction.

Boswellia carterii (BC) resins plants have a long historical background as a treatment for inflammation, as indicated by information originating from multiple countries. Twenty-seven diterpenoids have been identified in ethyl acetate and total methanol BC, comprising seventeen boscartins of the cembrane-type diterpenoids and ten boscartols of the prenylaromadendrane-type diterpenoids. Moreover, twenty-one known triterpenoids have also been found, encompassing nine tirucallane-type, six ursane-type, four oleanane-type, and two lupane-type.

Cembranolides are characteristic metabolites in marine soft corals, with complex structures and widespread biological activities. However, seldom has an intensive pharmacological study been done for these intriguing marine natural products. In this work, systematic chemical investigation was performed on by HSQC-based small molecule accurate recognition technology (SMART), resulting in the isolation and identification of 31 cembrane-type diterpenoids, including six new ones.
