Molecules, 2017 In our continuing study of biologically active natural products from the fruit of Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae), we newly isolated three new labdane-type diterpenes, termed galangalditerpenes A–C (1–3), along with four known sesquiterpenes (4–7) and ...

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

An Overview of Biotransformation and Toxicity of Diterpenes
Molecules, 2018 Diterpenes have been identified as active compounds in several medicinal plants showing remarkable biological activities, and some isolated diterpenes are produced at commercial scale to be used as medicines, food additives, in the synthesis of ...

Microbiota‐Mediated Sequential Gallery Colonization by Adults and Larvae of an Invasive Bark Beetle
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Dispersing adult beetles harbor more pinitol‐degrading microbes to colonize novel host pines with high levels of pinitol stress. These microbes from the beetle's exoskeleton and gut will be transmitted into the gallery via adults’ feeding and frass, whose proliferation in the gallery contributes to the formation of a low‐pinitol microhabitat.

Discovery of a Novel Diterpene in Brown Propolis from the State of Parana, Brazil
Natural Product Communications, 2016 Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honeybees from certain plant sources. The components of propolis depend on the vegetation of the area in which apiculture is practiced.

-Clerodane Diterpenoids from Verbenaceae: Structural Elucidation and Biological Activity
Natural Product Communications, 2008 This review focuses on the occurrence and structural elucidation of neo -clerodane type diterpenes from Verbenaceae (no matter if recently reclassified based on phylogenetic research) and the semisynthetic compounds of closely related structure obtained.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steviol glycosides (SGs) are a group of sweet‐tasting diterpene glycosides found in Stevia rebaudiana. Production of high‐value SGs, Rebaudioside D (Reb D) and Reb M, is limited by inefficient conversion of Reb A to Reb D and stevioside to Reb E.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding intraspecific variation in drought tolerance is essential for predicting the adaptive capacity of forest species under climate change. Yet, the molecular basis of this variation remains poorly understood in ecologically and economically important conifers.
