Abstract
Herein, we present a unified chemical synthesis of three subgroups of cephalotaxus diterpenoids. Key to the success lies in adopting a synthetic strategy that is inspired by biosynthesis but is opposite in nature. By employing selective one-carbon introduction and ring expansion operations, we have successfully converted cephalotane-type C18 dinorditerpenoids (using cephanolide B as a starting material) into troponoid-type C19 norditerpenoids and intact cephalotane-type C20 diterpenoids. This synthetic approach has enabled us to synthesize cephinoid H, 13-oxo-cephinoid H, 7-oxo-cephinoid H, fortalpinoid C, 7-epi-fortalpinoid C, cephanolide E, and 13-epi-cephanolide E. Furthermore, through the development of an intermolecular asymmetric Michael reaction between β-oxo esters and β-substituted enones, we have achieved the enantioselective synthesis of advanced intermediates within our synthetic sequence, thus formally realizing the asymmetric total synthesis of the cephalotaxus diterpenoids family.

Late-stage benzenoid-to-troponoid skeletal modification of the cephalotanes exemplified by the total synthesis of harringtonolide. Nat Commun 2024; 15:4125.

Abstract
Skeletal modifications enable elegant and rapid access to various derivatives of a compound that would otherwise be difficult to prepare. They are therefore a powerful tool, especially in the synthesis of natural products or drug discovery, to explore different natural products or to improve the properties of a drug candidate starting from a common intermediate. Inspired by the biosynthesis of the cephalotane natural products, we report here a single-atom insertion into the framework of the benzenoid subfamily, providing access to the troponoid congeners - representing the reverse of the proposed biosynthesis (i.e., a contra-biosynthesis approach). Computational evaluation of our designed transformation prompted us to investigate a Büchner-Curtius-Schlotterbeck reaction of a p-quinol methylether, which ultimately results in the synthesis of harringtonolide in two steps from cephanolide A, which we had previously prepared. Additional computational studies reveal that unconventional selectivity outcomes are driven by the choice of a Lewis acid and the nucleophile, which should inform further developments of these types of reactions.

Abstract
Cephalotanes are a rare class of diterpenoids occurring exclusively in Cephalotaxus plants. The intriguing structures and promising biological activities for this unique compound class prompt us to investigate C. fortunei var. alpina and C. sinensis, leading to the isolation of six undescribed cephalotane-type diterpenoids and/or norditerpenoids, ceforloids A-F (1-6). Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including ECD and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, as well as quantum chemical calculations. Compound 1 possesses an unprecedented norditerpenoid skeleton featuring an unusual acetophenone moiety, and originated putatively from a disparate biogenetic pathway. Compounds 4 and 5 incorporate a unique 12,13-p-hydroxybenzylidene acetal motif. Compound 6 is a rare cephalotane-type diterpenoid glycoside. Immunosuppressive assays showed that compounds 2 and 6 exhibited mild suppressive activity against the activated T and B lymphocytes proliferation. These findings not only expanded the structural diversity of this small group of diterpenoids, but also explored their potential as novel structures for the development of immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract
Norditerpenes are considered to be a common and widely studied class of bioactive compounds in plants, exhibiting a wide array of complex and diverse structural types and originating from various sources. Based on the number of carbons, norditerpenes can be categorized into C19, C18, C17, and C16 compounds. Up to now, 557 norditerpenes and their derivatives have been found in studies published between 2010 and 2023, distributed in 51 families and 132 species, with the largest number in Lamiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Cephalotaxaceae. These norditerpenes display versatile biological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, as well as inhibitory effects against HIV and α-glucosidase, and can be considered as an important source of treatment for a variety of diseases that had a high commercial value. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the plant sources, chemical structures, and biological activities of norditerpenes derived from natural sources, serving as a valuable reference for further research development and application in this field.

Abstract
Cephalotaxus diterpenoids are attractive natural products with intriguing molecular frameworks and promising biological features. As a structurally unusual member, (-)-cephalotanin B possesses an extraordinarily congested heptacyclic skeleton, three lactone units, and nine consecutive stereocenters. Herein, we report an enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-cephalotanin B based on a divergent asymmetric Michael addition reaction, a novel Pauson-Khand/deacyloxylation process discovered in the development of a second-generation stereoselective Pauson-Khand reaction protocol, and an epoxide-opening/elimination/dual-lactonization cascade to construct the challenging propeller-shaped A-B-C ring system as key transformations.

Abstract
The asymmetric total syntheses of cephalotaxus C19 diterpenoids, bearing a unique cycloheptene A ring with a chiral methyl group at C-12, were disclosed based on a universal strategy. Six members, including cephinoid P, cephafortoid A, 14-epi-cephafortoid A and fortalpinoids M-N, P, were accomplished for the first time. The concise approach relies on two crucial steps: (1) a Nicholas/Hosomi-Sakurai cascade reaction was developed to efficiently generate the cycloheptene ring bearing a chiral methyl group; (2) an intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction was followed to facilitate the construction of the complete skeleton of target molecules. Our studies provide a new strategy for the synthetic analysis of cephalotaxus diterpenoids and structurally related polycyclic natural products.

Abstract
(-)-Ceforalide B (1) and (-)-cephanolides B-D (2-4) are benzenoid cephanolide diterpenoids possessing the same pentacyclic skeleton, which contains three C13-C15 substituent patterns and different benzylic oxidation states. An olefination/6π-electrocyclization/oxidative aromatization cascade has been verified as divergent access to three C13-C15 patterns. The benzylic aerobic oxidations enabled by the Co(OAc)2·4H2O/bromide salt/O2/PPh3/N-hydroxyphthalimide system have been developed to deliver expected site-selectivity and different oxidation states. Through the divergent strategy, total synthesis of (-)-ceforalide B and (-)-cephanolides B-D is accomplished.

Abstract
Diterpenes represent a wider class of isoprenoids, with more than 18,000 isolated compounds, and are present in plants, fungi, bacteria, and animals in both terrestrial and marine environments. Here, we report on the fully characterised structures of 251 new diterpenes, isolated from higher plants and published from 2017, which are shown to have antitumoral activity. An overview on the most active compounds, showing IC50 < 20 μM, is provided for diterpenes of different classes. The most active compounds were extracted from 29 different plant families; particularly, Euphorbiaceae (69 compounds) and Lamiaceae (54 compounds) were the richest sources of active compounds. A better activity than the positive control was obtained with 33 compounds against the A549 cell line, 28 compounds against the MCF-7 cell line, 9 compounds against the HepG2 cell line, 8 compounds against the Hep3B cell line, 19 compounds against the SMMC-7721 cell line, 9 compounds against the HL-60 cell line, 24 compounds against the SW480 cell line, and 19 compounds against HeLa.

Abstract
Twenty-two cephalotaxine-type and ten homoerythrina-type alkaloids, including seven previously undescribed ones, were isolated from the twigs and leaves and the seed kernels of Cephalotaxus fortunei. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and ECD calculation methods. Cephalofortunine A β-N-oxide (1) is the first nitrogen-oxidized homoerythrina-type alkaloid. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative effects against two human leukemia cell lines (THP-1 and K562). All compounds showed different levels of antiproliferation in THP-1 and K562 cells with GI50 values of 0.24-29.55 μM. Hainanensine (31) was the most active against two cancer cell lines with GI50 values of 0.24 ± 0.07, and 0.29 ± 0.01 μM, respectively.

Cephanolides A-D are cephalotane-type diterpenoids featuring a novel 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic core embedded with a bridged δ-lactone. The asymmetric and divergent total syntheses of cephanolides A-D have been accomplished, proceeding in 11-14 steps from a known alcohol. The salient features of the present work include (i) a substrate-controlled diastereoselective intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction to form the 6-6 cis-fused rings, (ii) a palladium-catalyzed formal bimolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction via a partially intermolecular cascade reaction sequence involving multiple carbometalations to rapidly install the key tetracyclic skeleton, and (iii) lactonization and late-stage oxidative diversification to complete total syntheses of the four benzenoid cephanolides.

Abstract
Harringtonolide (HO, 1) is a bioactive diterpenoid tropone isolated from Cephalotaxus harringtonia with antiproliferation activity. Until now there have been no reports to elucidate its anticancer mechanism. Herein we report the synthesis of HO-derived probes (10, 11, and 12) to identify the possible target of HO. As a result, the application of a novel photoaffinity alkyne-tagged probe from HO (compound 12) showed direct engagement between HO and receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1). Furthermore, HO could suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and inhibit activation of the FAK/Src/STAT3 signaling pathway in A375 cells. This study provides a groundwork for HO as an effective antitumor agent that targets RACK1 to suppress cancer cell migration.

Abstract
The Cephalotaxus genus is well-known owing to the numerous complex, biologically relevant natural products that can be obtained from its constituent species. The successful identification of various Cephalotaxus alkaloids and natural, structurally diverse cephalotane diterpenoids that exhibit antitumor activities and excellent pharmacological properties has encouraged the discovery of previously undescribed compounds from this genus. The present review summarizes the different strategies for the total synthesis of cephalotane diterpenoids as well as their diverse chemical structures, antitumor activities, structure-activity relationships (SARs), and biosynthetic pathways.

Abstract
An inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction could complement the conventional normal-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction in the synthesis of six-membered carbocycles. However, catalytic asymmetric all-carbon-based IEDDA reactions are underdeveloped. Herein, we disclosed a copper-catalyzed asymmetric IEDDA reaction using electron-deficient 3-carboalkoxyl-2-pyrones and electronically unbiased indenes as reactants. This method enables the rapid and enantioselective construction of a wide range of hexahydrofluorenyl bridged-lactone scaffolds. Using this method, asymmetric total syntheses of cephanolides A and B were accomplished.

Abstract
Cephalotaxus is the only genus of Cephalotaxaceae family, and its natural resources are declining due to habitat fragmentation, excessive exploitation and destruction. In many areas of China, folk herbal doctors traditionally use Cephalotaxus plants to treat innominate swollen poison, many of which are cancer. Not only among Han people, but also among minority ethnic groups, Cephalotaxus is used to treat various diseases, e.g., cough, internal bleeding and cancer in Miao medicine, bruises, rheumatism and pain in Yao medicine, and ascariasis, hookworm disease, scrofula in She medicine, etc. Medicinal values of some Cephalotaxus species and compounds are acknowledged officially. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review summarizing the ethnomedicinal knowledge of Cephalotaxus, relevant medicinal phytometabolites and their bioactivities. The research progresses in ethnopharmacology, chemodiversity, and bioactivities of Cephalotaxus medicinal plants are reviewed and commented here. Knowledge gaps are pinpointed and future research directions are suggested. Classic medicinal books, folk medicine books, herbal manuals and ethnomedicinal publications were reviewed for the genus Cephalotaxus (Sanjianshan in Chinese). The relevant data about ethnobotany, phytochemistry, and pharmacology were collected as comprehensively as possible from online databases including Scopus, NCBI PubMed, Bing Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). "Cephalotaxus", and the respective species name were used as keywords in database search. The obtained articles of the past six decades were collated and analyzed. Four Cephalotaxus species are listed in the official medicinal book in China. They are used as ethnomedicines by many ethnic groups such as Miao, Yao, Dong, She and Han. Inspirations are obtained from traditional applications, and Cephalotaxus phytometabolites are developed into anticancer reagents. Cephalotaxine-type alkaloids, homoerythrina-type alkaloids and homoharringtonine (HHT) are abundant in Cephalotaxus, e.g., C. lanceolata, C. fortunei var. alpina, C. griffithii, and C. hainanensis, etc. New methods of alkaloid analysis and purification are continuously developed and applied. Diterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, flavonoids, lignans, phenolics, and other components are also identified and isolated in various Cephalotaxus species. Alkaloids such as HHT, terpenoids and other compounds have anticancer activities against multiple types of human cancer. Cephalotaxus extracts and compounds showed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, immunomodulatory activity, antimicrobial activity and nematotoxicity, antihyperglycemic effect, and bone effect, etc. Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies of Cephalotaxus are increasing. We should continue to collect and sort out folk medicinal knowledge of Cephalotaxus and associated organisms, so as to obtain new enlightenment to translate traditional tips into great therapeutic drugs. Transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomics and proteomics studies can contribute massive information for bioactivity and phytochemistry of Cephalotaxus medicinal plants. We should continue to strengthen the application of state-of-the-art technologies in more Cephalotaxus species and for more useful compounds and pharmacological activities.

Abstract
Cephalodiones A-D (1-4), the first example of C19 -norditerpenoid dimers, were isolated and fully characterized from a Cephalotaxus plant. These new skeletal natural products shared a unique tricyclo[6.4.1.12,7 ]tetradeca-3,5,9,11-tetraene-13,14-dione core that was capped in both ends with rigid multicyclic ring systems either C2 -symmetrically or asymmetrically. Compounds 1-4 were proposed to be biosynthetically produced by the [6+6]-cycloaddition of two identical C19 -norditerpenoid troponoids, which was validated by the semisyntheses of dimers 2-4. Moreover, some compounds showed significant inhibition on Th17 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Harringtonolide (HO), a natural product isolated from Cephalotaxus harringtonia, exhibits potent antiproliferative activity. However, little information has been reported on the systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) of HO derivatives. Modifications on tropone, lactone, and allyl positions of HO (1) were carried out to provide 17 derivatives (2-13, 11a-11f). The in vitro antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines (HCT-116, A375, A549, and Huh-7) and one normal cell line (L-02) was tested. Amongst these novel derivatives, compound 6 exhibited comparable cell growth inhibitory activity to HO and displayed better selectivity index (SI = 56.5) between Huh-7 and L-02 cells. The SAR results revealed that the tropone and lactone moieties are essential for the cytotoxic activities, which provided useful suggestions for further structural optimization of HO.

Abstract
Cephafortunoids A-D (1-4), four new compounds, together with ten known ones (5-14), were isolated from the branches and leaves of Cephalotaxus fortunei var. alpina. 1 and 2 represent the first examples of Cephalotaxus troponoid diterpenoids featured an intact C20 skeleton with CH3-17 migrating to C-15 and C-13 respectively. 3 and 4 are novel cephalotane-type diterpenoids with an epoxy ring between C-12 and C-13. The structures of isolated compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic methods, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and comparison with reported data. In in vitro bioassays, all isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60), human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1), human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), and human prostate cancer cells (PC-3). 5-9 exhibited prominent cytotoxicity against HL-60 and THP-1 with GI50 values of 0.27-5.48 and 0.48-7.54 μM, respectively. 5-8 showed evident cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 and PC-3 with IC50 values of 1.96-10.66 and 2.72-13.99 μM, severally. 6 with an IC50 value of 2.72 ± 0.35 μM displayed stronger cytotoxicity against PC-3 than the positive control etoposide. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds and plausible biogenetic pathways for 1-4 were discussed.

Abstract
Three new diterpenoids (a cephalotane, an abietane and a 9(10→20)-abeo-abietane) and one new flavonoid, together with 11 known compounds, were isolated from the twigs of Cephalotaxus fortunei var. alpina. The new compounds were identified by comprehensive spectroscopic (including 1D and 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS) analysis. Anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and cytotoxic activities of three new compounds were evaluated. 3β,20-epoxyabieta-8,11,13-triene-3α,12-diol showed weak cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines NCI-H1975, HepG2, MCF-7, while fortalpinoid R and 3-acetonyl-3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxy-2-methoxyflavanone were not active at 80 μM. None of these compounds showed anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities.
