Five undescribed enantiomeric pairs of acylphloroglucinol-monoterpene meroterpenoids ((+)-/(-)-eucateretins A-E) resolved by chiral-phase HPLC were obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith, along with nine known analogues. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and ECD calculations. This is the first report of meroterpenoid enantiomers from this plant. Some of the isolates, (-)-eucateretin A, (+)-/(-)-eucateretins E, 7'α-eucalrobusone X, eucalrobusone X, and robustadial B, exhibited inhibitory effects on ATP citrate lyase, and 7'α-eucalrobusone X significantly suppressed the hepatocyte lipogenesis.

Nine undescribed acylphloroglucinol derivatives, oblatones A−I, along with three known ones, were isolated from Syzygium oblatum. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including NMR and MS data interpretation. Oblatones A and B possess an alkylated chromanone scaffold featuring a hemiketal moiety. Oblatones C and D are the first acylphloroglucinol derivatives with an α,β-unsaturated ketone lipid chain. Some of the isolates showed inhibitory effects on ATP citrate lyase in vitro. The binding mode of oblatone A was predicted by molecular docking.

Six undescribed clerodane diterpenoids, dodovisins A−F, together with nine known ones, were isolated from the aerial parts of Dodonaea viscosa (L.) Jacq. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic techniques, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and ECD calculation. Dodovisins A and B possess a rare carbon skeleton featuring a bicyclo[6.2.0]decane motif. Dodovisins C−E represent the first clerodane diterpenoids with a 4(5 → 19)-abeo-2,4,10(1)-triene moiety. Dodovisins A, E, and strictic acid showed potent inhibitory activities against ATP citrate lyase.
