Article Abstract
Two abietane diterpenoids, named teuvismine A () and B (), along with two new taraxerane-type triterpenes, named teuvisoic acid A () and B () were isolated from whole plants of . The structures were elucidated by the analysis of HRESIMS spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy, as well as the comparison with published data. All isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines (HCT116, H460, HepG2, BGC823, and HeLa cells). Compound 3 showed moderate cytotoxic activities against HCT116 and H460 with IC values of 6.2 and 8.6 μM, respectively.

Cell transplantation therapy is a promising new treatment for myocardial infarction and heart failure. Developing methods to promote the engraftment of cardiac stem cells into cardiac tissue and their differentiation into cardiac cells is a strategy for improving the efficacy of cell transplantation therapy. Tanshinone VI (TanVI), a component extracted from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae), is a possible pharmacological agent for ischemic heart disease.

Taxascendins A - D (1-4), four unprecedented hetero-oligomeric terpenoids, and taxascendins E - K (5-11), seven new diterpenoids with five distinct and highly modified abietane-types frameworks, along with sixteen known analogues (10-27) were obtained from Taxodium ascendens. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. Bioactivity screening indicated that the isolated compounds exhibited inhibitory activity in colorectal cancer cells.

The limitations of current depression treatments highlight the importance of developing new therapeutic strategies. Tanshinone I (Tan I), a naturally occurring lipophilic diterpene compound, has promising activities including inflammation inhibition, cellular autophagy or apoptosis modulation, and anti-oxidative stress. However, the potential antidepressant effects of Tan I and the mechanism behind its action have yet to be established.

Oxidative stress serves as a driving force for myofibroblast activation in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). As a main enzymatic source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) plays a critical role in modulating myofibroblast activation, and has thus emerged as a potential therapeutic target for PF. Tanshinone IIA (Tan-IIA), the most abundant fat-soluble component found in the root and rhizome of Bge.

Herein, we present two 17(15→16)--abietane diterpenoids ( and ) as the first terpenoid-class Na1.8 inhibitors, along with their first asymmetric total syntheses to enable in-depth pharmacological studies. Key steps include kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides, bioinspired polyene cyclization, and late-stage photocatalytic benzylic oxidation.
