Abstract
Liverworts, widely used as traditional Chinese medicine, are a rich source of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with intriguing biological activities. Given that diterpenoids present in liverwort species possess striking scaffoldings and considering the absence of any previous review on this subject, we present an updated analysis of the diterpenes in liverworts along with their biological activities based on literature dated from 1997 to present. This comprehensive effort is expected to lay the foundation for further research on the diterpenes in liverworts.
Keywords: Diterpenes, liverworts, phytochemistry, classification, structure, bioactivity.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
