Three novel 12,13-seco-spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) derivatives, named hyperilongenols A-C (1-3), were isolated from the stems and leaves of Hypericum longistylum Oliv. Their planar structures were established by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS data, and chemical derivatization. Their absolute configurations were defined using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1-3 represent the first examples of naturally occurring 12,13-seco-spirocyclic PPAPs with an enolizable beta, beta'-tricarbonyl system. The O-methylation of compounds 1-3, coupled with comprehensive analyses of their X-ray diffraction data and variable-temperature 1H NMR spectra collected in different solvents, allowed us to propose a general mechanism underlying the formation of inseparable C-24 epimers of hyperilongenol A (1), decipher the solvent effects on the enolizable beta, beta'-tricarbonyl enol protons, and explore the possibilities of keto-enol interconversions of compounds 1-3. Moreover, a reasonable proposal for the structural determination of PPAPs with enolizable beta-dicarbonyl and beta, beta'-tricarbonyl systems was developed. In addition, an in vitro bioassay showed that 2 exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
