Abstract
In natural products (NPs) research, methods for the efficient prioritization of natural extracts (NEs) are key for discovering novel bioactive NPs. In this study a biodiverse collection of 1,600 NEs, previously analyzed by UHPLC-HRMS2 metabolite profiling was screened for Wnt pathway regulation. The results of the biological screening drove the selection of a subset of 30 non-toxic NEs with an inhibitory IC50 ≤ 5 μg/mL. To increase the chance of finding structurally novel bioactive NPs, Inventa, a computational tool for automated scoring of NEs based on structural novelty was used to mine the HRMS2 analysis and dereplication results. After this, four out of the 30 bioactive NEs were shortlisted by this approach. The most promising sample was the ethyl acetate extract of the leaves of Hymenocardia punctata (Phyllanthaceae). Further phytochemical investigations of this species resulted in the isolation of three known prenylated flavones (3, 5, 7) and ten novel bicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene-2,9-diones (1, 2, 4, 6, 8-13), named Hymenotamayonins. Assessment of the Wnt inhibitory activity of these compounds revealed that two prenylated flavones and three novel bicyclic compounds showed interesting activity without apparent cytotoxicity. This study highlights the potential of combining Inventa's structural novelty scores with biological screening results to effectively discover novel bioactive NPs in large NE collections.

Abstract
Taxol (paclitaxel), the most well-known taxane diterpenoid, is the best-selling natural-source anticancer drug ever produced and one of the most common prescriptions in the treatment of breast, lung, and ovarian cancers, saving countless lives around the world. Structurally, Taxol possesses a highly oxygenated [6-8-6-4] core bearing 11 stereocenters, seven of which are contiguous chiral centers. Moreover, the extremely strained bicyclo[5.3.1] undecane ring system with a bridgehead double bond is a unique structural feature. All these features make Taxol a highly challenging synthetic target. Tremendous synthetic efforts from more than 60 research groups around the world have already culminated in ten total syntheses and three formal syntheses, as well as more than 60 synthetic model studies of Taxol. This review is intended to provide a long-overdue appraisal of the great achievements in the total syntheses of Taxol reported in the last few decades. In doing so, we summarize the development of synthesis toward Taxol from 1994 to 2022, including the evolution of synthetic strategy for accessing this complex molecular scaffold and key lessons learned from such endeavors. Finally, we briefly discuss the future of the research in this area.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalysis has become one of most important methods for constructing molecules with diverse architectures. Bridged polycyclic skeletons are often considered one of most challenging structures in organic synthesis. This Minireview summarizes the recent progress on synthesis of bridged polycyclic skeletons by transition-metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction. Four main ring-forming strategies including connection via olefin or carbonyl functionality, enolate intermediacy, C-H functionality, and aryl functionality are detailed and some effective methods are discussed with particular emphasis on reaction design and mechanism.

Abstract
Explored was the competitive ring-closing metathesis vs. ring-rearrangement metathesis of bicyclo[3.2.1]octenes prepared by a simple and convergent synthesis from bicyclic alkylidenemalono-nitriles and allylic electrophiles. It was uncovered that ring-closing metathesis occurs exclusively on the tetraene-variant, yielding unique, stereochemically and functionally rich polycyclic bridged frameworks, whereas the reduced version (a triene) undergoes ring-rearrangement metathesis to 5-6-5 fused ring systems resembling the isoryanodane core.

The first total synthesis of (+)-majusculoic acid, the enantiomer of naturally occurring antifungal cyclopropane fatty acid (-)-majusculoic acid, was accomplished in 13 steps, leading to the assignment of the absolute configuration of the natural product. The synthesis featured a ring closing metathesis dimerization, a conformationally controlled cyclopropanation, a dedimerization, and a bromoolefination.
