The pseudopterosin natural products have been the focus of a substantial number of synthetic studies since the first members were isolated almost 30 years ago. Herein we review all total and formal syntheses of this family of glycosylated diterpenes, with an emphasis on the synthetic strategies employed.

Diterpenoids of terrestrial origin.
TLDR
This review covers the isolation and chemistry of diterpenoids from terrestrial as opposed to marine sources and includes labdanes, clerodanes, abietanes, pimaranes, kauranes, cembranes and their cyclization products.
Total Synthesis of Ileabethoxazole, Pseudopteroxazole, and seco-Pseudopteroxazole.
The total syntheses of ileabethoxazole, pseudopteroxazole, and seco-pseudopteroxazole, three antituberculosis diterpenoids that had been isolated from Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, were accomplished
Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Various Amphilectane and Serrulatane Diterpenoids via Cope Rearrangements.
TLDR
DFT calculations explain the high stereoselectivity of the Cope rearrangement of the intermediate that eventually led to amphilectolide and caribenol A.
Masked Ketenes as Dienophiles in the Diels-Alder Reaction
The Diels–Alder reaction is one of the most powerful, well-established, and versatile reactions in organic chemistry; however, its application in certain settings remains a challenge as a result of
Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Di- and Sesqui-Terpenoids via Catalytic C-C Activation of Cyclopentanones.
To show the synthetic utility of the catalytic C-C activation of less strained substrates, here we describe collective and concise syntheses of natural products (-)-microthecaline A, (-)-leubehanol,
Preparation and synthetic value of π-bond-rich branched hydrocarbons.
TLDR
This work demonstrated that the assumed high reactivity and instability this family of compounds was erroneous and ultimately led to the development of syntheses of structurally related cross-conjugated systems including substituted dendralenes, tetravinylethylene, 1,1-divinylallene, and furan-containing analogues of the dendRALenes.
PTP1B Inhibitory Secondary Metabolites from an Antarctic Fungal Strain Acremonium sp. SF-7394
TLDR
The inhibitory effects of the isolated compounds on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were evaluated by enzymatic assays; results indicated that acrepseudoterin and [D-Leu]-ternatin (4) dose-dependently inhibited the enzyme activity with IC50 values of 22.8 ± 1.1 μM and 14.4 ± 0.3 μM, respectively.
Natural Products from Corals
TLDR
In this section, the research progress on coral-derived MNPs during the past two decades was included, mainly focusing on five points: coral-produced structures with brand-new skeleton, coral- derived MNPs with significant bioactivities, some representative approaches on total synthesis of coral- derive novel compounds, and a short review of the Coral-derived compounds in preclinical and clinical development.

TLDR
Preliminary studies toward the asymmetric total synthesis of both enantiomers indicate that the determination of the absolute stereochemistry can be expected soon, and this structurally novel, biologically active tetracyclic compound has been synthesized for the first time in racemic form.
