Serial antibacterial furanoditerpenes caesanines A-D (1-4), possessing a cassane-type diterpenoid skeleton with an unusual N bridge between C-19/C-20, were identified from a Chinese herb Caesalpinia sappan Linn. In addition, caesanine D (4) showed the first class of dicassane diterpenoid ethers. Their structures were determined by different spectroscopic methods and ECD calculation. Caesanines A and B exhibited strong activities against MRSA suggesting a promising entry point for the… 
Antimalarial diterpene alkaloids from the seeds of Caesalpinia minax.
New Cassane Diterpenoids from Caesalpinia sappan and Their Antiplasmodial Activity
TLDR
Two new cassane diterpene possessing an unusual N bridge between C-19 and C-20 named caesalsappanin R and S were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan with methanol extract by spectroscopic analysis and examined alongside existing data from prior studies.
Caesalpanins A–C, Three Dimeric Cassane Diterpenoids from the Seeds of Caesalpinia sappan L.
Three dimeric cassane diterpenoids, caesalpanins A–C, were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan L., as well as three known compounds. Their structures were determined via analysis of 1D‐,
Pterolobirins A and B, Oxygen-Bridged Cassane Diterpenoid Dimers from the Fruits of Pterolobium macropterum.
TLDR
A putative biosynthetic pathway is proposed based on a regular intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction and an intramolecular nucleophilic addition of dimeric cassane diterpenoids.
Three new ester glycosides with cytotoxic activity from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan
TLDR
Three new ester glycosides were obtained from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan and showed weak-moderate cytotoxicity against Hela and HepG-2 human cancer cell lines.
Taxodikaloids A and B, Two Dimeric Abietane-Type Diterpenoids from Taxodium ascendens Possessing an Oxazoline Ring Linkage.
TLDR
Two dimeric diterpenoids, taxodikaloids A and B, have been identified from the seeds of Taxodium ascendens and show potential neuroprotective activity against Aβ25-35-induced damage in SH-SY5Y cells.

Two new cassane diterpenoids from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan Linn.
TLDR
Phanginin L and phang inin M are new cassane diterpenoids, which showed moderate cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell line with IC50 of 9.13 μg·mL−1.
Antibacterial spirobisnaphthalenes from the North American cup fungus Urnula craterium.
TLDR
Urnucratin A (1) was found to be active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, and Streptococcus pyogenes with MIC values of 2, 1, and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively.
Phenolic compounds from Caesalpinia sappan heartwood and their anti-inflammatory activity.
TLDR
Four new phenolic compounds, caesalpiniaphenols A-D (1-4), together with eight known compounds were isolated from Caesalpinia sappan heartwood and showed weak inhibitory activity against the LPS-induced NO production in macrophage RAW264.
Brevianamides with antitubercular potential from a marine-derived isolate of Aspergillus versicolor.
TLDR
Aspergillus versicolor isolated from sediment collected from the Bohai Sea, China, yielded the new dimeric diketopiperazine brevianamide S, suggestive of a new mechanism of action that could inform the development of next-generation antitubercular drugs.
Effects of ellagic acid and 2-(2,3,6-trihydroxy-4-carboxyphenyl)ellagic acid on sorbitol accumulation in vitro and in vivo.
TLDR
EA and TEA significantly and dose-dependently inhibited sorbitol accumulation in erythrocytes, lens and sciatic nerve under incubating with glucose in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the inhibitory activity of EA against AR causes to inhibit sorbitl accumulation by in vitroand in vivo experiments.
