| 6h-dibenzo-(b,d)-pyran-6-one | A benzochromenone that is 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran substituted by an oxo group at position 6. | 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-one |
| alternariol | A benzochromenone that is 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one which is substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by hydroxy groups at positions 3, 7, and 9. It is the most important mycotoxin produced by the black mould Alternaria species, which are the most common mycoflora infecting small grain cereals worldwide. | alternariol |
| alternariol monomethyl ether | A benzochromenone that is alternariol in which the hydroxy group at position 9 has been converted into the corresponding methyl ether. A natural product found in Chaetomium globosum as well as being one of the two most important compounds belonging to the group of Altenaria mycotoxins. | djalonensone |
| beta-lapachone | A benzochromenone that is 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-5,6-dione substituted by geminal methyl groups at position 2. Isolated from Tabebuia avellanedae, it exhibits antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory activities. | beta-lapachone |
| chartreusin | | Chartreusin |
| fenofibrate | A benzochromenone that is 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[f]chromene substituted by an oxo group at position 3. It has been found to exhibit potential inhibitory activity against Sir2 proteins. | splitomicin |
| rubrofusarin | A member of the class of benzochromenones that is benzo[g]chromen-4-one carrying two additional hydroxy substituents at positions 5 and 6 as well as methyl and methoxy substituents at positions 2 and 8 respectively. An orange polyketide pigment that is a common intermediate in many different fungal biosynthetic pathways. | rubrofusarin |
| rubrofusarin B | A benzochromenone that is rubrofusarin in which the hydroxy group at position 6 has been converted to the corresponding methyl ether. | rubrofusarin B |
