TL;DR
(±)-Hypericandrone A and (+)-1 displayed potent antitubercular activity by selectively inhibiting the acetyltransferase domain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis GlmU through a dual mechanism, acting competitively against acetyl-CoA and noncompetitively against glucosamine-1-phosphate.
Abstract
(±)-Hypericandrone A (HCA, 1), an unprecedented pair of enantiomeric polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), and its biosynthetic congener hypericandrone B (HCB, 2) were isolated from the fruits of Hypericum androsaemum. Compound 1 features a unique 2-cyclopentane-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane scaffold, while 2 possesses a rare 2-cyclopentyltetrahydrofuran framework. Their absolute configurations were unequivocally determined by spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and ECD calculations. Remarkably, (+)-1 displayed potent antitubercular activity by selectively inhibiting the acetyltransferase domain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis GlmU through a dual mechanism, acting competitively against acetyl-CoA (Ki = 0.07 μM) and noncompetitively against glucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcN-1-P, Ki = 0.20 μM).
Hypercoretions A–C (1–3), three types of unprecedented polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), were isolated from Hypericum kouytchense using a combined FBMN and UV-guided isolation method. Notably, hypercoretion A (1) represents a unique nor-PPAP characterized by a rearranged 5/6/6/5 tetracyclic skele...
Two unprecedented rearranged fusicoccane diterpenoids, hyperperins A (1) and B (2), and twenty-two new fusicoccane diterpenoids, hyperperins C-X (3-24), were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypoestes purpurea, as well as one known analog (25). The structures and absolute configurations of all newly isolated compounds...

Six new schinortriterpenoids (SNTs), including one structurally unique SNT featuring a caged oxatricyclo[4.2.1.04,8]nonane bridged system (1) and five previously undescribed SNTs (2−6), were isolated from the fruits of Schisandra chinensis. The structures and configurations of compounds 1−6 were elucidated via compre...
