Abstract
The relatively small Frankeniaceae family is represented by halophyte plants, growing in arid and semi-arid climates in saline, alkaline or calcareous soils. Due to their living conditions, they usually produce a large diversity of compounds, which often exhibit bioactivities. Some species of this genus have long been used as traditional herbal medicines to treat dysentery, diarrhea, gonorrhea, vaginal leucorrhea, respiratory diseases and wounds. To date, several studies on either phytochemical or pharmacological aspects, or both, have revealed that this genus is a rich source of diverse and novel bioactive chemicals, including phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids and fatty acids. This review describes all the reported chemical profiles of Frankenia species, as well as the corresponding biological properties, when available. The aim of this review is to show the potential of these plants for various applications, especially therapeutic ones.

Abstract
Cynanchum viminale subsp. australe, more commonly known as caustic vine, is a leafless succulent that grows in the northern arid zone of Australia. Toxicity toward livestock has been reported for this species, along with use in traditional medicine and its potential anticancer activity. Disclosed herein are novel seco-pregnane aglycones cynavimigenin A (5) and cynaviminoside A (6), together with new pregnane glycosides cynaviminoside B (7) and cynavimigenin B (8). Cynavimigenin B (8) contains an unprecedented 7-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane moiety in the seco-pregnane series, likely arising from a pinacol-type rearrangement. Interestingly, these isolates displayed only limited cytotoxicity in cancer and normal human cell lines, in addition to low activity against acetylcholinesterase and Sarcoptes scabiei bioassays, suggesting that 5-8 are not associated with the reported toxicity of this plant species.

Abstract
A convenient and selective approach to 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid hydrazides and their N'-(het)arylmethylene derivatives was disclosed and these novel types of secosteroids were screened for cytotoxicity against hormone-dependent human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. A number of 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-(het)arylmethylene]hydrazides show significant cytotoxic effect comparable or superior to that for reference drug cisplatin. Compound 3l exhibits the highest activity with the IC50 value of about 2 μM and is 2.8 times more active than cisplatin. Hit 13,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-oic acid [N'-(het)arylmethylene]hydrazides 3d, 3l and 3q are characterized by high cytotoxicity and good selectivity towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The synthesized secosteroids may be considered as new promising antitumor agents.

Abstract
Seven undescribed C27 steroidal glycosides, Seladelicatulasine A-G, including six cholestanol glycosides and one spirostanol glycoside, were isolated from Selaginella delicatula. Their structures were elucidated by 1D/2D NMR spectra and HRESIMS analyses. The absolute configurations of the sugars were determined by enzymatic hydrolysis and GC/MS analyses. These cholestanol glycosides were isolated from the family Selaginellaceae for the first time. Seladelicatulasine F is characterized as a rare B-5,6-secosteroid. In addition, all the compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against cholinesterase (AChE/BChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO-A/MAO-B). These steroidal glycosides displayed selective inhibition activities on cholinesterase. Seladelicatulasine A, B and E inhibited the AChE activity with IC50 values of 0.31, 0.09, and 0.04 μM, respectively. Seladelicatulasine A and F showed the strongest inhibition activity on BChE with IC50 values of 0.37 and 0.65 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Dysphania is a genus of plants endemic to the Australian continent, occurring primarily in arid and temperate zones. Despite their prevalence, very little in the way of phytochemical and/or bioactivity investigation of native Dysphania has been performed. Herein reported is the isolation and elucidation of (6E,9E)-zerumbone epoxide and a hitherto unreported isomer, (6Z,9E)-zerumbone epoxide, from D. kalpari. In addition, a novel isodaucane sesquiterepene, kalparinol, was isolated from both D. kalpari and D. rhadinostachya. The coisolation of the humulene and isodaucane skeletons, combined with the lack of any cadalane systems, could suggest an alternate novel biogenetic pathway originating from zerumbone, which is unlike any other proposals for the isodaucene system.

Abstract
Dysphania is an abundant genus of plants, many of which are endemic to the Australian continent, occurring primarily in arid and temperate zones. Despite their prevalence, very few investigations into the phytochemistry of native Dysphania have been undertaken. Described herein, is the isolation and elucidation of two enantiomeric diastereomers of humulene diepoxide C from D. kalpari and D. rhadinostachya, of which unassigned diastereomers of humulene diepoxide C have been previously reported as components in beer brewed from aged hops. In addition, two (+)-humulene diepoxiols (humulene diepoxiol C-I and C-II) were isolated from D. rhadinostachya. Analysis of Chinook hops oil confirmed the presence of both humulene diepoxide C-I and C-II as trace components, and in turn enabled GC-MS peak assignment to the relative stereochemistry. Anticancer assays did not reveal any significant activity for the (+)-humulene diepoxides. Antifungal assays showed good activity against a drug-resistant strain of C. auris, with MIC50 values of 8.53 and 4.91 μm obtained for (+)-humulene diepoxide C-I and C-II, respectively.

Abstract
The highly oxygenated pimarane diterpenoids basimarols A, B, and C (3-5) were isolated from the plant species Basilicum polystachyon, which was collected within the Australian arid zone. Structure elucidation was performed using a suite of spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray crystallography. Anticancer and anti-DENV activity of 3-5 was explored, but only limited activity was observed. More extensive antiviral evaluation of stachyonic acid A (1), which was also isolated from B. polystachyon, revealed broad spectrum antiviral activity against West Nile virus (Kunjin strain, WNVKun) and human influenza viruses H1N1 and H3N2.

Abstract
Stachyonic acid A, arising from the first in-depth phytochemical investigation of the herb Basilicum polystachyon, was found to display potent inhibitory activity against dengue virus, with limited cytotoxicity. Andrographolide, a known dengue virus inhibitor and closely related labdane-type diterpene, is structurally more complex but displayed poor antiviral activity in the PRNT assay, and increased cytotoxicity in comparison. Furthermore, a Diels-Alder reaction with PTAD identified the active pharmacophore of stachyonic acid to be the conjugated diene.
