Description

Depsidones are a class of natural products with a dibenzofuran core structure. They are often found in lichen species and exhibit a wide range of biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer properties. The synthesis of depsidones can involve various methods, including oxidative coupling of phenolic compounds and ring closure reactions. Their importance stems from their potential therapeutic applications and their role in the ecological interactions of lichens. Research on depsidones focuses on understanding their biosynthesis, structure-activity relationships, and their potential as lead compounds for drug development.'

depsidone: a dibenzo dioxepin with a lactone formed by one of the oxygens and a carbonyl between the two benzyl rings; some derivatives are found in GARCINIA plants [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

depsidone : The simplest member of the class of depsidones comprising of a heterotricyclic system that is 11H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxepine substituted by an oxo group at position 11.

Research Excerpts

Overview

Depsidones are a class of polyphenolic polyketides. They are proposed to be biosynthesized from oxidative coupling of esters of two polyketidic benzoic acid derivatives.
